Marilyn’s place has many many wonderful things about it and could easily be a five star Air B and B stay. The location is wonderful , being on the water ( outdoor space delightful) and the decor very charming. It is clean and convienent to the beach and shopping etc.
Unfortunately several issues confronted us and at first our expressions of concern were dismissed as our fault or our ignorance.
Later when saw the big picture she did what she could to correct the issues but her original attitude had left us somewhat gun shy to express additional concerns. We didn’t want to come across as not picky. The biggest issue was that internet was not working or not working well for 6 of our 12 days there. Even when it was back working no cable Or antenna local TV is available. It’s only a Roku connection… but we kept getting a “Weak power” message and would often experience a stoppage in the programming.
A few fans and accompanied light switches had dead batteries so would work and the smoke detector went off every time we had toast in the toaster ( and we never burnt any toast) all the above were more of an inconvenience rather than major issues. This is a wonderful space in a great location and IS very clean… In our experience and opinion it just needs some greater TLC and objective awareness by the owner of what the working condition of the electronics and amenities are and to be a five star place it needs more attention to details and frankly access to cable TV or at least a working antenna / access to Live local TV channels.
