POSITIVES:
The house location and layout are amazing. The property manager/owner is very responsive and has a great maintenance guy. He needs it.
NEGATIVES:
The house in general needs some serious cosmetic maintenance. The years of renting are showing everywhere. Baseboards are rotting out, paint bubbling/peeling inside and out. Cabinet doors are loose/falling apart. The table centerpiece (water/fish bowl vase thing) had beer caps, bugs and dirty water in it. Doors and walls near high use areas were filthy. Certain shutters not working at different times throughout stay. Spiral staircase had a support post loose, and a broken cable at the top (safety issue). The electrical is weird throughout the house, for example the microwave is NOT on its own breaker and had other outlets in the kitchen tied to it, so if you run the microwave and have something else tied to one of the outlets it will flip the breaker. Those are to just name a few. Basic things you would think would be taken care of for any house, not just a "high-end" beach rental.
