The distance to the beach is good, the fenced in yard is helpful with kids, and the upstairs deck was great for watching fireworks. Sadly, that is the end of the positive elements. Upon check-in, the house was not clean. The first level floors were filthy (they produced a very black swiffer pad after only one pass), more than 1/2 of the upstairs blinds are broken, the previous tenants sheets were on one of the beds, there were dirty towels in the washer, the couches were stained, and there was mold in the upstairs shower. As the week progressed, we also discovered anything left out on the kitchen counter, even for a short period of time, would be quickly covered in ants. The kitchen sink was also leaking, something we discovered when we grabbed a role of paper towels and it was moldy.
