We unfortunately cannot rate our stay as good. The hosts seemed nice and were responsive. The place was nicely decorated and looked just like the photos, and kitchen well stocked to make a few meals. I could overlook that I had to rewash the towels when we checked in because they smelled all musty (like they were folded away still wet). The issue that is making give 2 stars instead of 5 was the plumbing/water. The 2nd bathroom started smelling so we avoided it thinking there was a plumbing issue. 2 days later, the master bathroom started smelling foul, like raw sewage. I contacted the hosts. They said it wasn’t raw sewage, but the sulfur in the water, and that they were on a well. That evening they informed me that they shocked the system with salt and it should get better. When we came back at night, I ran the water to flush the system as instructed and opened the windows to air out the smell in the apartment. It seemed better, but in the morning, again the water had a foul smell, albeit not as strong. We checked out that morning without taking showers and using the drinking water they had in the fridge for hygiene.
Perhaps other guests wouldn’t be bothered by this, but sulfur comes from bacteria. And it didn’t make me feel at ease that there was seemingly no monitoring of the quality of water to prevent the buildup of sulfur-creating bacteria before a guest reported it to them. It grossed me out that we had been using the water before our noses could detect the issue. At least now I know to ask if a house is on well water before booking another Florida stay.
