Please read - this place is all about location and not much else. Yes, you are a block to the beach, yes there are kayaks available and pedal bikes - but inspect them, tires were flat on bikes with no bike pump around (we bought one), one kayak took on water and the canoe has a crack in it which left 1 kayak for use.
Saltwater pool was a highlight, kids and adults loved it but know when the pool guy comes because you can’t use it for 3 hours after, he puts A LOT of chemicals in it.
The house is DIRTY. When we arrived only beds had been freshened up. Floors were covered in hair. There was a sock under a bed, dirty dishes in the dishwasher, linens in the washer, a cockroach by the end of the week on stovetop, no extra trash bags or cleaning solutions, a beer can in the pool filter and an unclean grill. Someone needs to deep clean this house including the screened in patio. There are sprinklers in the lawn which spray into the porch leaving the floor covered in dirt. I wouldn’t have mind cleaning but the vacuum and limited products would not have helped.
Ashley (host), did try and make our stay right by sending in cleaning people on the 2nd and 3rd day however they weren’t there long enough to give this place the cleaning it needs.
It’s a shame, this place has so much potential, and has some beautiful amenities however for the price and compared to many many other ABNB’s I’ve stayed at, this did not meet the “super host” standard.
A couple other things to note all within walking or pedal bike distance: visit the Bonnet House and Museum, visit Hugh Taylor Birch Park and the spa at Pelican Grand called Pure (fabulously relaxing). Also think about bringing in a private chef. We chose Chef Keith Volpe, recommendation of host, kitchen is perfect for this type of event.
We chose this place for a week to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary. There were 6 adults and 2 children (ages 3 & 6) in the party. There was plenty of space but again having parents in their 70’s who have never ABNB’d before their experience was subpar, which I was hoping not be the case. Pictures and previous reviews make this place seem much more grand than it actually is.
Also to parents with children: there is no crib in this house but there was a pack n’ play and high chair.
