Full disclosure, I did contact management upon arrival and they offered to send housekeeping over again. I said no, as I was already in the home, it had been a long day and I didn’t want to inconvenience anyone at 4:55. I should have inconvenienced them.
So let’s start with the good because that won’t take long.
This house is in a good location with a good view. There was a prior review about cockroaches - we never saw evidence of that. We asked management about that and did not receive a response during our three night stay.
This house could be great, but it needs some serious maintenance. Well, no, it needs to be gutted and remodeled.
Walking up to the home, after a long day of driving, we were met with loose trash on the porch. Okay, the wind could have blown that in. Walking into the house the artificial canned air freshener hits you with an underlying smell we figured out the next day. We immediately opened what windows we could. I opened the cabinet under the sink looking for the garbage and was met with spilled food next to the can. I next walked into the upstairs bathroom and the overhead light wouldn’t come on. Found out if you leave the switch in the on position the light will come on after about ten minutes. Brushing my teeth in the evening I discovered the sink doesn’t drain. Taking a shower in the morning the shower door has been tweaked and not fixed that it was a good thing I accidentally put two towels down in front of the door as they were completely soaked when I stepped out.
When we woke up in the morning walking into the kitchen a smell hits you. My wife looked at me and said, “ I know what the smell is that they are trying to cover up.” Most rentals ask that guests not boil their crab in the homes. The smell is shell fish. It has permeated the house. So the smell is “Hawaiian breeze” & shell fish.
There is soooo much more but I maxed the word count. If nothing else it needs a SERIOUS deep clean to make it considered a decent place to stay.
