To summarize a really disappointing vacation, the pictures on this listing were probably taken when they first set this place up for airbnb. Because the place in reality, is very worn and pretty dirty. But the worst things about this place was the incredibly LOUD AC and the lack of accomodation from the management company.
This is what happens when you hand over your property to a management company. You lose the human touch. Things become colder and transactional. They have a late check in (4pm) and really early check out (10am). Six hours between check out and check in for the next guests. In these 6 hours, the house is still really dirty. We asked to check out a little later but we're refused. "Im sorry, these are the rules". Not even 30 minutes later.
To get into the details of what we experienced:
- The outside AC unit seems to be attached to the house, so its really loud. We were sleeping in the main bedroom and we'd feel it humming and vibrating, it was really hard to sleep with that noise.
- The laundry room is a complete mess. There are things scattered all over the place, its really disorganized and the walls are stained.
- The second bathroom is actually IN the laundry area and is SUPER tiny. Because this laundry area feels dirty and cluttered, it was really uncomfortable to use that bathroom.
- They really like their shag carpets (In the main bedroom theres one literally on top of another one) and they were all dusty. The bathroom mats and laundry mat were visibly dirty.
- The lanai furniture cushions were super dirty, along with the tables in that area.
- Sticky substances on the outside tables, kitchen stool bases and kitchen wall.
- Half of the toaster doesn't work
- Pool light is really bright and it lights up the main bedroom at night. There are no blackout curtains there so it was hard to sleep. Not to mention that Ikea bed is really squeaky.
Overall it didnt feel really comfortable to be in this house. The only good thing about it was the pool area, but even that we had to clean as soon as we got there because the pool was full of bugs, leaves, etc. And some of the pool lounge chairs were rusted.
This place would be incredible if they gave it a LOT of TLC, fix things up a bit, change the ac, switch out all the shag carpets, invest in new patio furniture, throw a lot of uneccessary junk out, give it a DEEP clean and try to be a little more compassionate when renting to others. There are so many options in this area and this place will take you for granted.
