We enjoyed our stay at the house up until the last few days. The house is in a very quiet area (it is across from a nursing home and there were sirens every night) but other than that-it was very quiet. We enjoyed being in a gated home and felt safe. It was also nice that they have a large backyard complete with a bbq and picnic table. We also enjoyed using the beach gear provided-chairs, boogie boards, and towels. There was plenty of room and the rooms were comfortable.
Our only complaint (and this isn’t against the host, because they were communicative) but we found a lot of mice in the house. The first morning there we noticed some of our bread had been eaten but we didn’t think much of it. Thought maybe one of our kids dug into it. A few days later we were sitting in the living room and we saw something dart across the room but we weren’t able to tell what it was. Then the next day we came home to lots of mice on the kitchen counter eating our closed up food. We also found lots of mice droppings. That night we saw tons in the house and it was truly hard to sleep at night. I contacted the host and she was very apologetic but their only solution was to buy mice traps. Long story short we didn’t want to spend our vacation setting up mouse traps. It was unfortunate that we had to deal with this issue and it ruined the last few days of the trip. Nobody likes to be relaxing listening to mice scurry across the floors . We had to throw away a lot of our food and we were also worried about the mice getting into our newborns crib as we saw them in the bedroom. I’m hopeful that the issue will be resolved so other guests can enjoy the house.
