We did not mind the age or style of the home but were very disappointed in the lack of upkeep and having to make our own beds after a long day of travel. We photographed black mold on several surfaces in kitchen, forwarded them to the host and ended up buying our own cleaning and paper supplies. Couches and bedding was decades old and needs to be replaced. It all smelled very musty. We had to spray our own room spray to sleep the first night. The window a/c are also very old but cooled off house. Richard accommodated our request for a late check out and it made a difference in our last day. This could be a great stay with updates, paint, some beach supplies like chairs and bikes.
