I'm writing hoping the manager will see this and address the many (small) issues because I'd like to go back.
First the good - the jacuzzi exists. WE used it. come with your own towels*
Beach access is awesome
Some games and puzzles for the kiddos - nice
Stove heats so fast we had tea and hot cocoa super fast!
Now the fix list:
* Come with your own beach towels. We just took whatever we could and used them. There are no extra linens, but the beds have like 5 layers each.
- Please remove about 40 pictures from the walls. It honestly was distracting. They don't match, they were stressful on my eyes (sounds petty, but really)
- There were 34 throw pillows. And so many chairs. Take some stuff out please.
- No food storage space because...
- We used the limited counter space to stack what we would need for fear of opening the cabinets and the strained shelves would collapse and send the 100 (no exaggeration. Likely much more) dishes crashing. Seriously - remove some dishes and get a sturdy shelf. There are SOOOOOO many dishes and servers and bowls and more dishes and platters.
- The house needs a little manual - where are the heat settings, the garbage disposal switch (by the microwave near the window FYI), a note about remotes, etc.
- Every flat surface has a knick-knacks on it. EVERY. SPACE. We temporarily put some away so we could put down our reading book, glasses and phones. Even the dining table had stuff on it.
- Furniture is a wee outdated. Might just spruce it up to remove the extra and the 90's boom boxes. My dresser had a broken handle too.
- Did I mention the pictures? Asian, boats, beaches, roosters, birds, animals, flowers, random stuff - One reviewer liked that cat (was that a joke?). It's a cartoon, next to a print, next to 2 paintings. Oy.
I missed that there is no internet. Totally my fault, but I had a work emergency and simply had to let it crash. Never did I think to look for WIFI in 2020's. There is a DVD player (really), but no DVDs. Who brings DVDs on vacation? Why is that an amenity?
I liked the place, but just know this is not a five star place. Location is great. I would return, but I would spend a few hours packing up the pillows, pictures, knick-knacks and dishes and stacking it all in a closet so I could relax in it. And I'd order a WIFI hotspot to go or something like that. These fixes are not expensive at all and this is a great location. Please give it a little TLC!
