Apr 5, 2021 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Great House Poor Management I wouldn't even have left this review, but this is about the Management Company's (Gulf Coast Vacations) 5th email. The house was filthy upon check in, and I mean filthy. The maids had put the sheets in the washer, left, and never returned. Inexcusable, especially at a high winter rate . They eventually showed up with maids about 7PM and kicked us back a little money. The carpets were filthy beyond belief--kind of crazy that I had to complain about them before they had them steam cleaned. Still dirty, but better. A little proactive maintenance would have been more professional. They were receptive to our complaints, but the money were paying it should haver have happened. ##### Rick S.
