Nice Home, Quiet Area
Everything went well with exception of air conditioning, when we arrived I went and tried lowering the thermostat and found that it was locked out with a passcode at 72 degrees. I contacted the property manager and he promptly arrived to help us, he could not lower the temp either. He told me he would reach out to the owner and see if they would remotely lower the temp. This did not happen our entire stay, I had to go to Walmart and buy four fans in order to help move air around. Could not run the ceiling fan in our bedroom because it was wobbling so bad, tried different speeds but wobbled on any speed. With this said, I will not be renting this home again due to an owner deciding how cool I need to be.

Comfortable house
House was clean with enough towels, bedsheets and amenities for our group of 9ppl. We liked that it doesn't have a lot of shelves/tables/knickknacks since we had small babies (made it easier to block a space and not worry about them breaking things). A couple of things we found that were dissapointing, but did not affect our stay, were some of the pots & pans were visibly dirty (old food stuck), dryer had a thick layer of lint. Also it would be helpful to have a mop or swifter to be able to clean spills. Lastly, it seems my son left an item in the house. Is there an email or phone # I can call to see if it was found when the house was cleaned?

This was a very spacious rental. The beds were okay, and we were just a few minutes away from the seawall and the strand. We look forward to renting this property again in the future.
