Apr 12, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### So close, but no cigar Nice property, but not clean in the corners. The kitchen was spacious, but oddly arranged in such a way that one could not fully open the freezer door. No ceramic plates and only one glass--everything else was plastic--including the non-stick coatings on all of the cookware. We got some wine glasses from the neighboring rental that my nephew was in. The beds were good, but covered with a mattress protector that assured you would awake in a sweat sticking to it. There is no insulation between the upstairs and downstairs units, so be prepared. The dock and the yard were great, however; the downstairs patio was musty and could have been cleaned. We willingly paid top dollar due to the eclipse. A thorough cleaning, a drip coffee maker, a couple of pots and pans, a few glasses and 8 ceramic plates would go a long way to making this a first rate property. ##### Frank F.
