May 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Deceiving Photos online The home was built in the 50’s and the decking certainly shows. Needs redone or replaced. The king mattress very hard, and thin whoosy sheets. Even though the bathrooms where remodeled in 2025, they looked lovely, however the master suite shower did not drain to the point of overflow. Could not be used. The main bath Spude'd rust water upon turning on. When we arrived the light above the sink in the master bath would not turn on. I thought I'd report it thinking it was burned out bulbs. It turned out to be a 2 day job with Maintenace crew (who were very nice) trying to find the wire that was connected to the light and then replacing it so it would work. They had to cut holes in the ceiling and wall of the bathroom. The furnishings were worn and not particularly very clean. Certainly not very comfortable. Location was what it was all about. The kitchen was remodeled and stocked nicely but no pantry products. The pots N pans where greasy and scratched. We cook on vacation and had to clean them to use. Great dishwasher, stove and refrigerator. Stand up closet washer N dryer for convenience. The underneath of the home was nasty with some garbage and rusting beams and pieces of splintered wood laying on the ground. The outdoor rusty electric box had a broken lock and was always opened to the fuses from the wind. No landscaping of any kind. Basic sand driveway. We managed to overlook and enjoyed the beach and view with nice picture windows. The curtains were ripped an worn. ##### Tracy S. Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brett M.
