Gut: Sauberkeit, Check-in, Kommunikation und Lage
Verbesserungswürdig: Genauigkeit des Onlineauftritts
Not quite what I was expecting…
First, let me say the house is spotless. And the the patio opens right onto the beach which was exactly what we wanted.
You should know the listing and photos are from a previous life and are no longer accurate. The property is run down. The BBQ that is mentioned is broken and lying on its side in the courtyard. A courtyard that once upon a time had palm trees and plants and now has giant holes covered by boards.
This home has stairs. Not many but enough to be problematic to elderly people. The showers have deep sunken floors. Easily an 6-8 inch drop in with no hand rails. And the wet tile floors are slick!
The homes cabinetry is ancient. The cabinets and drawers either hang open or stick shut.
The kitchen is not fully furnished like the listing says. There are metal pots and well used frying pans (the kind where the Teflon is coming off and will end up in your food). There are no microwaveable dishes at all. There is an automatic coffee pot but no coffee mugs or filters. That first morning before we found the grocery store was rough!
If you intend to cook, plan to bring everything. Unlike most VRBOs there are no food basics on site such as oil, salt, pepper, sugar etc. cupboards and fridge are completely empty.
there is also no dishwasher. You will be hand washing anything you use.
The refrigerator broken upon arrival. We didn’t discover that until late the night we arrived. Thankfully I had enough ice to keep food in our cooler for the night. Repair people came the next day and made it cold but also so noisy it was hard to sleep some nights.
The patio door is VERY difficult to open. Children will not be able to pull it open or closed without help. Also, it does not lock. There is a pipe you can jam in the sill from the inside. But if want to exit to the beach and walk down to Mannys for a couple of hours you will need to bring a padlock.
Lastly, a user guide for the little things would have been handy. There were no instructions for how to use the TV. The Directv was offline when we arrived. I think there were 4 remotes we had to navigate before we could actually watch. We also had no idea where to take the trash to once it was full. There is a small market down the street you can go to if you need something small.
Theft in the area is prevalent. Don’t leave anything you want keep outside overnight. It will walk away!
Other than that, it was great! I would stay here again now that I know what to expect.
