Let's get the good out of the way. The location of this property is stellar. Great positioning relative to the beach, quiet street, good access to restaurants and the grocery store. The roof didn't leak, the electricity stayed on, the plumbing worked throughout the trip, and I reckon the beds were in pretty decent shape.
That's about all the good I can say. I thought about taking pictures of all the problems we saw, but I worried my phone would run out of storage. I'll list just a few to give a sample, maybe in the order in which we encountered them?
* There is a yawning gap at least 1/2" wide underneath the front door, under which any manner of critter can and does crawl through.
* The air conditioning was not working when we arrived. Lest you think this is a one-off occasion, another review also reported this same problem. Fortunately, we visited late in the beach season, so the weather was cool on all but the first day.
* The floor had not been mopped when we arrived -- there was a bit of sand everywhere.
* The apartment is advertised as having a grill, and I guess technically it does, but it's a dinky little $50 charcoal thingamajig that is so cheap it doesn't get stolen even though the leave it unlocked in the front yard.
* Many of the doors in the house do not close completely, including the various bathroom doors. The bathrooms generally don't have locks.
* There is an inexplicable lack of a dining room table, despite the fact that a place for one exists. Instead, there is a coffee table and a second couch sitting area.
* The stools and bar in the kitchen are not sufficiently deep for an adult to comfortably sit at and eat.
* The kitchen is just about the worst equipped kitchen that you could have while still calling it "equipped." The knives are dull, the pots are the cheapest of the cheap (everything sticks to them), no nonstick pans are available for eggs, and the variety and amoung of utensils are entirely insufficient.
* The plaster/drywall throughout the house is scuffed and in some cases damaged or even entirely punctured.
* The windows have no screens, so despite the fact the house is designed for a pleasant cross breeze, you can't leave the windoows open.
* Parts of the front deck near the edges are rotten and falling apart.
* The shower pressure could be generously described as a trickle.
* There is a gas grill in a shared space out back, but the gas doesn't appear to be turned on or the grill was otherwi
