The was my second consecutive year renting this unit. The location is fantastic but the room itself is in need of some upgrades. I was hoping there would be at least be a few updates this year but nothing changed. The decor is outdated, and the furniture and bedding are very worn. In fact, my pillowcase was a size too small for my pillow. There were no extra linens available.
When we arrived, there were only 3 hangers in the entire unit so I had to call the management company. They responded quickly and brought us some that evening. There is no community kitchen pantry stocked with staples like spices, olive oil, trash bags, foil, etc. My parents stayed in another unit and theirs was nicely stocked with pantry items. I get that it's VRBO but I had to purchase every item myself. I booked the room for two weeks and the management company provided me with only 1 trash bag and 3 packets of dishwasher soap. The ancient coffee maker died during my stay. To their credit, the management company responded quickly and brought out a replacement that afternoon. On a good note, there is a crock pot and Instapot in the unit.
One day, the water was shut off for 3 hours with absolutely no notice! When I called Seashore Vacations they informed me that the Property was supposed to notify us (signs, etc.) that they were putting in a new valve which required the water to be shut off to our building. They obviously knew well in advance yet there was zero communication from the property nor management company. Imagine having a family of 5 with no access to running water and flushing toilets!
Overall, the unit is not bad, it's just not great. All of those little inconveniences added up to a big disappointment. When I go on vacation, I want the unit I'm renting to be nicer than my own home, or at least AS nice. And I don't want to deal with hassles like having to ask for hangers and a new coffee pot. Unless the owner invests in updates over the winter, I won't be staying here again.
