This was a nice place. The cleaning needs improvement. There was a lot of dog hair on the furniture. Broken shelves were left in the refrigerator. We were only given 1 washcloth per person so take extras, the washer was broken, and smelled of mildew because the door was closed, so that was a bummer and we had to go buy washcloths. The housekeeper should make sure the door is open so it can dry out to avoid that. We didn’t use the hot tub on our short stay so I can’t comment on that. There is a nice picnic area under the house, and a great backyard fire pit. We didn’t use these on our short stay, but they are great amenities for those staying a week or more. It is close to the beach, but the uphill walk through the sand to get there was treacherous for me as I have COPD. It would have been nicer for there to be a wooden walkway to the beach. Not the owners problem, I am just mentioning it. The owner communicated well, however, my last 2 emails to him were not acknowledged. I like to be helpful on my stays and save the housekeeper work by communicating about beds and items not used (hot tub). Shane did not acknowledge getting my final email communicating that to him so he could pass it on to the housekeeper. I would stay again, but I would take my own washcloths. I bought some dishcloths and left them behind. I wash dishes by hand a lot and there was only a sponge for doing dishes. I like to be transparent when I let reviews, so this is in no way being negative.
