Overall, our stay was amazing and we plan to return next year!
Pros:
The location is amazing, right across the street from the beach and almost fully unobstructed views of the ocean from the common areas and front balcony. The layout of the home was perfect for my family and the beds were so comfortable. Having a 2 car garage, was priceless as most rentals along beach drive lack parking and storage space. Reception is always tricky in that area, so having a strong and consistent WiFi connection was awesome. The new laminate flooring upstairs is beautiful! The closet space in all of the bedrooms was phenomenal.
Cons:
The home could use a bit of upgrades/maintenance. The dishwasher leaked a lot of water and the racks are pretty rusty. The cable didn’t work the entire week we were there, but Cheshire Rio was prompt and amazing at trying to correct it, unfortunately it was an issue that required a technician and wouldn’t be resolved within the week we were there. The carpets in the bedrooms downstairs are pretty dirty and the washer and dryer are also a bit rusty. With a pet friendly home, there are definitely lower expectations in regard to the furniture, but some pieces could stand to be replaced. Some things weren’t supplied that we’ve had supplied in previous rentals, like charcoal for the grill and laundry soap, so just plan accordingly and you’ll be fine.
We had an amazing week at this property and plan to return to it, or another of Cheshire Rio’s pet friendly properties along beach drive. Cheshire Rio is wonderful to deal with and I would highly recommend staying at this, or any of their properties :-)
