Overall, our 1 week stay in the rental house called "Katrina" was great, and if we were to return to the area we would likely rent the house again. That being said, there were a few issues we encountered.
We arrived to the property at the scheduled check-in time, and the house cleaners were still there. They left within 20 minutes and repeatedly said, "we did our best" but explained that there had been a large party of girls staying there over the weekend. We didn't feel the house was completely clean and it was ; there were bits of trash on the kitchen table and living room table, 2 of the trash cans were not empty (though not all that full). There was barely any toilet paper in the house; we had to immediately go out and buy several rolls. We also had to buy paper towels for the kitchen, dish soap, and there were zero garbage bags. As rental-property owners ourselves, these are items that the owner typically provides so that guests do not have to purchase these day-to-day necessities. The remote control for the tv in the living room was missing; we were informed that one was being "over-nighted" to the property. We did not receive the remote until 2 days prior to our departure, and it didn't work once it arrived. There were workers present throughout the duration of our stay working on laying tile on the front porch, rendering the front porch completely unusable which doesn't seem like a big deal, but this meant there wasn't a balcony our whole family could sit on in the evenings listening to the ocean which is one of our favorite vacation activities. We were informed prior to our arrival that the crew would be there, but it was a pesky annoyance to have them there every day. We had to keep the blinds closed to the front porch where they were working and the crew parked in the driveway. We were not able to adjust the thermostat on the main level, and it got way too warm at times! The temperature of the house should absolutely be under the control of the guests. We needed a rocking chair for our 7 month old but there is not one at the property. This is not something easily transported from out-of-state where we visited from and it would have been easy for the owner to provide an inexpensive one.
All in all, the pros outweigh the cons. The interior is very nice, the description of the property and photos are accurate. The owner was very accessible to answer any questions. Definitely recommend the house. Visit GUSU for standup paddleboard tours!
