The house is clean and in a really great location. Close to shopping and to the beach. The owners might want to put a little money into updating things. The “queen” beds they have listed are terribly small. Slightly larger than a full and slightly smaller than a queen (I’m in interior design, and I measured). It wasn’t a huge deal because there were only two couples and then a bunch of kids, so the kids slept fine on them. I ended up sleeping on the couch. Once the kids were up I’d head upstairs to try and get a little nap on a real bed, but the one I slept on the springs were pretty much shot. You could tell they were old beds.
Blackout curtains would be nice, as the rooms get super bright once that sun is up. The blinds that they have do very little to block the sun out. We noticed the property next door had two large paddle boards, and two kayaks, new bikes and just overall seemed to be better appointed. This property is kinda bare bones. Bikes are older, they did have a couple beach chairs, I bought a beach umbrella and added it to what looks like a hodge lodge of things people have purchased and left behind.
I may be particular, but it’s these little updates that make things more relaxing and enjoyable. They should pour some money into updating their mattresses (king beds in all the rooms would be ideal), linens, and some curtains (in addition to the blinds, which are pretty useless and most of which are broken). If you are able, I’d look at the place directly next door. It seems like they’ve really thought of everything. They have a nice covered tiki hut by the pool, with really nice pool chairs and loungers, the paddle boards, and kayaks.... didn’t see the inside, but I’m sure it’s similar. Overall, our place was “meh” to “okay” but if I were you, I’d keep looking until updates are made.
The property managers were very nice and very responsive.
