First the good. It’s a cute house in the Camp Watercolor neighborhood. The winter price was fair enough for the value and it is right next to three heated pools. There are lots of places to walk or drive the golf cart in the neighborhood. In the way, it was perfect for winter beach times.
The bad. Some parts of the house are clean, some are dirty. You can tell the cleaning crew did what they were supposed to in terms of sanitation of the kitchen and bathrooms, cleaning the floors. But the property management is not going beyond those basics. The biggest eye sore was the ottoman in the living room— absolutely filthy. Not a thing that belongs in a 1.8 million dollar home, beach rental or not. It needs to be thrown out. The living room furniture, which is absolutely washable, wasn’t far behind it. I know these houses take a beating, but come on. The showers did not drain well either.
Not good or bad, but important. We took a chance on accessibility for an older party, who wanted to try out a bungalow, but it didn’t meet our needs. In the picture, the back stairs look wide and low, but in reality they are pretty tall. (The picture is distorted.) The front steps would have worked better due to a handrail, but there really isn’t a way to park up there. The downstairs master and walk in (not roll in) shower are good though.
Other: There wasn’t a way to charge our golf cart, though we did have room to park it. The back sunroom is there, but basically has a view of an alley, so we did not personally enjoy it. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels. No beach amentities and a little skimpy in the kitchen.
