We are posting a review because it would have been nice if previous renters had left more realistic reviews of this property.
It was appreciated that it is a dog friendly house (we like to travel with our dog), but the carpets are filthy, and the entire house smells very strongly of pet urine.
While the house is situated in a nice neighborhood, there are some security concerns. Most of the windows do not lock, and several are either missing screens, the existing screens are torn, or are completely inoperable.
There is no air conditioning, which would be okay, but it was an issue for us since many of the windows could not be opened for natural air flow.
We decided to not use the “master bedroom” with an attached bathroom during our stay. This was due to the sliding screen door that leads to the back yard being inoperable, creating a potential hazard in the event of an emergency.
We mentioned the window and door situation shortly after check-in and was told they are planning to install new windows and screens this winter. They said the sliding door should work but did not offer to come check it
out or give any advice on opening it.
We decided to not mention the strong pet urine smell during our stay because we figured there was nothing they could do while we were occupying the house. We did buy a pet odor neutralizer spray to try to help mask the smell. The smell was constant and made for a very unpleasant stay.
Some additional pans and cookware would have been nice, as the selection was very minimal.
The location was as advertised, in a great neighborhood walking distance to a cafe, liquor store, parks and beaches. It was very nice to have a pool & hot tub onsite (although some tiles are missing).
Overall, the house was in very poor condition and did not justify the price they are charging at this time.
