I'd like to preference this review that this is not an exaggeration and I'm shocked people have stayed more than once or for more than a night. If we needed it for more than 12 hours I probably would have asked to cancel. However, the potential in this space is great. It's lacking a lot and has not been maintained well.
The level of cleaniness is questionable when other reviewer say the space is clean. The positives are it's spacious for two, there's filtered water and the bed is a king and decently comfortable. And as advertised the beach is only a short walk away.
The negatives are though the sheets were laundered as advertised (which my goodness isn't that a normal expectation? ) I did find a very long hair on my pillow. I then found hair on the shower wall, in the fridge, and all over the floor (it collected onto our socks). The whole place smelled a bit like a basement. I think the carpet was a huge reason for this and it also looked stained. It's really gross - we were scared to walk around without a minimum of socks covering our feet. Even in the middle of the night, slipping on socks to use the restroom then slipping them off before jumping in bed. The front room's couches are stained and well worn. We were not comfortable to sit anywhere. In the bathroom the shower is functional but the wall appears it is on the verge of detaching completely. The top was disconnected and bubbling away from the wall. The water is hot at least for a quick rinse. We were asleep at 11:30pm when there was a lot of noise above us (perhaps the return of the owners) it was thankfully short-term but surprised us.
We will not be returning but I do hope they fix up the place and get a professional cleaner to come in between visits. Like I said the potential is great, it just need lots of TLC.
As a host, Scott is responsive and we did not reach out to him with these issues. We dealt with it since we got there late in the evening were leaving at sunrise.
