My husband and I , with our three grown children and spouses, as well as 2 grandchildren chose this AIRBNB for a 5 night Florida getaway. The rental had its pros & cons.
Pros: The layout was functional with 5 bedrooms and worked well for our large family. The Lanai and pool are designed well. It feels more like a party house, with games, fooseball, basketball & a ping pong table that were well used. An extra refrigerator was helpful. The pool was heated to the perfect temperature and the 4 lounge chairs were nice. Additionally, 6 beach chairs made our daily visit to the beach comfortable. With parking at the beach difficult, the short 10 minute walk was convenient.
Now for the bad. We were initially disappointed when we arrived at 4:30 (4:00 check-in) only to find the cleaners just getting started. They completed cleaning at 7:00 pm. There were no cleaning supplies provided for daily upkeep.
The master bathroom had a broken toilet seat, towel rack & door handle. A towel ring was also missing (the owner repaired the toilet seat & handle on day 4). The bedsheets were both worn (pilled) and ill fitting.
The pool water was slightly cloudy when we arrived and worsened daily. The pool light is nonfunctioning. Two wicker side chairs were both broken with holes in the seats, and needed to be covered to sit on. The pool shed was in disarray with multiple broken and deflated pool toys left from previous users.
The landscaping was unkempt with uncut grass, broken fencing, and weeds protruding through the rock beds. The overall impression was ”uncared for” with dead bushes in some of the beds There were 2 sets of super bright LED floodlights both on motion sensors that were unable to be deactivated. Any chance for evening ambience was nonexistent. Once turned on, the bright lights shined into the bedroom windows.
Overall, a great party house, likely. But for a nice family getaway, we were pretty disappointed.
