There was a dead cockroach in the kettle, 2 inches of lint in the filter of the dryer and caked on dust on top of the kitchen cupboards. Every cupboard in the kitchen smells of mildew and the items are sticky. The cupboard handles, and fridge door was quite dirty and I needed to wipe this over before we used it. There is a build-up of hair and dust around the edges of the flooring and the balcony looks like it hasnt been swept in years. This unclean aspect of the unit affected our stay as I didnt feel I could cook and did need to wash all the crockery and utensils we would be using. The bathroom however, was clean aside from hair behind doors and edges of flooring. Such a shame as the unit itself is tidy and pleasant and so handy. This aspect of poor management affects the owners who would be none-the-wiser. I rely on reviews when booking so I feel a need to share here. ##### Nicole This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth S. Dec 27, 2020 #### Loved this place. Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely place to stay and we had a ball. Coming back next year! ##### Elizabeth S.

Undercover parking which was ideal given the hot weather we had. Unfortunately, the unit was not as clean as we would have expected, it was tidy but not clean. The bedspreads and blankets were stained, we had to prewash the cups, plates and cutlery before using because of the unusual smell in the kitchen cupboards. We could not use the fabric placemats provided as they were dirty. Just a lot of little things were not cleaned prior to our visit. The other thing we found a little annoying was the noise coming from the extractor fans in the bathrooms (especially the ensuite). They automatically turned on at 7am and went all day until 10pm. Our boys slept well in their beds, they found the mattresses comfortable but the bed in the main bedroom has a very firm mattress. We really enjoyed the area, the beach was beautiful and very calm for our two young boys. ##### bec4 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### NicandChris Jan 1, 2019 #### Great Location but not clean The unit location was excellent but the unit itself is greatly in need of a clean.
