My family and I thought this house would be a great option for a three-week work trip getaway.
Sadly, we were seriously mistaken.
By the first night, it was clear this house was going to be a disaster. To break it down:
1. The Wi-Fi is atrocious. We were here for a work stay, so internet is fairly important. It only really works if you’re in the master bedroom and the owners claim they “can’t make it better” so unless you want to take all zoom calls from the bedroom, look somewhere else. This also makes it impossible to watch a movie in the living room without 17 different buffering pauses.
2. The bugs were abundant. Night one we saw two cockroaches running across the living room and an army of ants came marching in that seemed invincible to any bug spray. Bugs in the beds, bugs in the pantry, bugs on the walls; it was ridiculous and almost comical.
3. The A/C stopped working for 7 hours in the heat of a June afternoon in Delray and they had to send someone out to fix it who entered the premises without warning while our baby was sleeping and woke her in the process.
4. The hosts were not helpful at all. We’re generally pretty easy-going guests, but by day three of this endeavor with nothing improving, we finally decided we needed to get a new house for the remainder of our trip. We requested a full refund for the trip given several critical issues as described above, and the management refused. That was the straw that broke the camels back. 1/10.
