House was way smaller than expected, spiral staircase was unusually small as well.
Not too big of an issue. The area is no where near as quaint and private as described, all of the houses are very close together and the street it’s off of is so busy, especially to walk on with kids. The bathrooms were dirty, downstairs bathroom shower not even usable..basically like an open spurting hose with no handle, floor peeling up in basement, had to vacuum up the couches.. they were filled with crumbs, grill unusable..vines growing throughout and spiders, it was old and needs replacing as well as awkwardly placed to where no one would want to even use it.
*Biggest issue for me was the spiders and ear wigs in the basement, after unpacking completely we realized there was a spider or ear wig on the floor in the bedroom, bathroom, or recreation area at least twice a day..eventually my husband and I had to gather all our belongings to move upstairs and have my eldest son stay downstairs with the bugs. And we could not hang out down there at all.
Finally, the worst part of this trip was I asked the owner the size of the pool before booking, she wasn’t sure so she had her pool people check.. they were mistaken of the size..two of my sons are 6’3, we could not swim in this pool due to it being too small. This was a detriment to the trip, as I made sure to book a house with a pool for a reason.. sure enough the beach was closed every day due to dangerous riptides.. on top of this we told the owner the pool was dirty at the beginning of our stay, the pool people were supposed to come clean and check it like anywhere else you’d stay that has a pool..and no one came once…even after I notified the owner. My 4 year old ended up with a UTI.. we spent an entire day of vacation at the urgent care.. the doctor suggested that the dirty pool was more than likely the culprit. UTI’s are not normal for boys his age and he’s never had an issue and hasn’t since..he was put on antibiotics.
Owner notified of issues at first and said they’d be addressed..when I notified her of issues further into the stay, she stopped responding.
All in all our vacation was ruined. We really don’t have an income to be going anywhere but because I was pregnant at the time decided to go on one last trip with the kids, and decided to just put the trip on credit, now we continue to pay off this disappointment of a trip, when we would’ve been better off going nowhere.
Kitchen was nice.
