This was, at one time, a gorgeous, high end property: Quality cabinets, wood floors, granite countertops, Ethan Allen furniture., etc. Unfortunately for whomever owns this home, it has been used HARD over the years. Every single window blind in the property is broken; the dishwasher door slams open; the microwave is broken; the wood floors are warped; every wood furniture piece has its surface damaged; the doors (to cabinets, to bedrooms, to showers) are off their hinges and do not close all the way; broken toilet; fire alarm needing new batteries. The worst part of the property were the giant (2 inch) cockroaches…the kind you fear killing because you don’t want to get splattered by roach guts.
I contacted the property management company (30A Escapes) and shared all of these observations with them, and they were very empathetic and responsive: A plumber came to fix the toilet; they brought a new microwave.
Decanted Dream is booked all summer, so I don’t know how all of these flaws can get fixed for the next visitors.
As for “Inlet Beach”: soooo many people everywhere… sort of like living at Disney World.
The beaches are strange: due to litigation tied up in Walton Co. courts, visitors aren’t allowed to use the “dry” part of the beaches except for the small deeded area Decanted Dreams has access to. There were easily 300 people on one section of beach, and the rest of the beach had no one in personal lawn chairs sitting on it. My husband and I placed our flip flops on a section of dry beach outside of the allotted area, and a guy from a neighboring HOA told us to move out stuff because we weren’t allowed to “set up things” on private property.
