Effs place is a great location, central to everywhere including all airports, beaches, attractions within 30 min. Private at times, however she frequently rents out all areas of her home, and those guests entryway is on the patio and past your "private area". Parking was good. The pictures were a bit off, from the outside not being kept i.e grass, plants not taking care of, patio area and the entry to the pool was blocked with tree leaves and few holes in the outside of the walls. We saw a baby rat 2 times while on the patio. Never saw rodents inside. Small lizards were fun to watch outside. The inside needed a good deep cleaning, dusting and added cleaning with covid especially. The kitchen had not been kept, i.e old sugar and coffee with dead ants, utensils where dirty. We opted for using our brought plastic silverware and plates. The freezer had frost build up.Upon entry there was a squished bug on the kitchen wall, and two huge dead cockroaches in the bathroom next to the trash. We stayed 4 nights between 4 people. Throughout the stay we didn't encounter any other bugs! The space was decent with a door to the other bedroom. Sound including dogs wasn't an issue. Dogs were friendly. We cleaned the pool but didn't end up using it. There is a short walk to enter the pool and no lights so wasn't very inviting. Also the area next to the pool which appeared to look like a barn/storage room was housing a renter which you could directly see into his area from the pool. The bathroom needed a deep cleaning, we keep wet shoes on when showering. There is no outlet in the bathroom so that was surprising and inconvenient. We had to request more towels and toliet paper and Eff was nice and accommodating. The shower leaks from outside the bathroom causing puddles next to the short stairs. We recommended she look into that. We never met Eff, but she responded promptly, was nice and was open to assist us. The place overall is a good value between price, location and host. Smart TV, lots of little extras including chargers and bathroom products. Little chocolates on the beds sweet touch. For us to book again it would require a deep deep cleaning, outside and inside repairs(i.e old wood, holes, leak in shower ect) and upkeep on all the basics and more.
