First off, I would like to say that when we got to the place the first night, we turned on the lights and a big cockroach came running out. I know its Florida this can be a problem, but was pretty gross for me and my kids. I normally don't give reviews but there were so many things that I wish I would have know before renting this place, I thought I would share. This review is not a reflection of the owners personality, she was a nice person.
1st off, this bungalow is not a 3 person bungalow. I had my 6 year old and 9 year old with me and they stayed on the pull-out futon. Even at their young ages it was way too small. Every night while trying to sleep, one of the kids would fall off!! They would then come into the bed with me, which is not my idea of vacation sleeping. If you were a couple with 1 child, it might be appropriate to be called a 3 person bungalow, but that should be specified.
2nd, There was plumbing issues in the bathroom. The second day there, we had problems with the toilet flushing. There was no plunger on the property and when asked for one, the owner said to me "does your mom have one she can bring over?" My mom lives in the area but really?!! I am spending money to stay here and I am supposed to request for my mom to bring over a plunger? Then the next day, I went to jump in the shower and there was human waste about 2 inches deep in the bathtub. In my opinion, the plumbing needs to be updated if you are going to have a rental property. The owner did call a plumber over and had the issue fixed in the afternoon but we were unable to shower and get ready for the day.
3rd thing, the owner lives next to the property and she kept stopping by to give me directions on what we can and can't do in the house and hot tub. I am a very private person and found this very uncomfortable. I am on my vacation with my children and its not ok to keep stopping by. There was a manual on the kitchen table and if there were things that need special attention or that need to be addressed, then put the information in the house manual.
Would I rent this property again, no I wouldn't. The price was way to much for what it is and the area is not a great location.
