Beach House Misses
Pros include a good location, mere steps to the beach. There are nice views from the deck, and the living areas are spacious. The kitchen is well equipped. The mattresses are good.
The biggest con is the ground floor bedroom. It is a deal breaker for returning. It is cold, wet, dark, and smells even though the rest of the house was comfortable. The floors were so wet with condensation that I worried about slipping and falling. I had to wipe my feet with a (cold, clammy) towel before getting into the bed with (cold, clammy) sheets. I couldn’t sit in the chair because the condensation was so severe that it would have soaked my clothes.
A second con is the lack of amenities. It’s a beach house, but there are no beach toys or beach towels. The beds were not all made, and what is more fun than making up bunk beds are 9 pm after flying all day with a 4 and a 6 year old? The bar stools in the kitchen are so cheap and lightweight that we didn’t feel safe sitting on them. When we asked for an additional trash bag we were told that they were not included. Seriously? $4100 and they can’t provide a trash bag?
Then there are the snakes. There is a notice in the kitchen to watch out for snakes. Well, what kind of snakes? Venomous? Harmless? What do we tell the EMT if someone gets bit? Do we even need to call the EMT?
The location and beach are nice, but there are better options available.
