Sadly this beach house on Staten Island had more cons than pros.
PROS:
--property is completely fenced in and in a quiet neighborhood
--five minute walk to the nearest beach
--patio is equipped with some bug zappers
--huge grass area with a jungle gym for young children to play on, which my children definitely enjoyed.
CONS:
--delayed timely and clear check-in/check-out instructions.
--patio and propane grill were made available however no there were no grilling tools or umbrella as the listing mentioned.
--couch with significant wear and tear.
--first two steps on the first landing were clearly patched up as evidenced by the cracked paint and plaster
--one of smaller bedrooms had no working A C in spite of the vents being completely opened.
Overall the house had a plethora of up-keep issues that needed to be fixed to give renters a more deserving and comfortable stay as advertised and promised.
Although it wasn't a complete bust it definitely made our family vacation more stressful at times. We did our best to make it an enjoyable experience and were highly disappointed by the false accusations of damage made in spite of my family doing our best to treat the home with the upmost care and respect
