Needs cleaning
Overall, my stay was OK. The shower squeaked terribly when standing in it and they had some type of a rubber liner in it that should be removed for sanitary reasons shower curtain liner should be replaced before the next renter. They should have a pest control for bugs I Seen a German cockroach in the bathroom and immediately removed all of my bathroom items from the sink area, second of all the musty linens in the bathroom should be replaced and/or bleached on a regular basis. Wasn’t sure what was clean and what was just washed it was not anything I would use. I had my girlfriend bring me my own towels and washcloths. Upon returning home by removed all of my clothing from my bags and washed everything in hot water immediately to make sure there was no German roaches in my clothing. Renters beware. In the rental description, they should stay. There is only one mini split system in the living area and not any air conditioning or condition space in the state room as they say in boating a fan was provided The fan provided needs to be disinfected and cleaned. It has a odor all of its own.
