Description of property is misleading / reality not worth $
I will start with the pros:
1. This duplex is directly on a very nice, wide beach. You step off porch into the sand.
2. Really appreciate “pet friendly” rentals
3. Bag of ice in freezer was nice - especially since frig doesnt make ice.
4. AC worked fine
Unfortunately, i have a lot more cons:
1. This is obviously a renovation done for rental. Everything was done as cheaply as possible.
2. The listing for this property is a duplicate of the listing for the other side. Based on the photos of the other side - it might be a more accurate description of that property. Definitely misleading for the north unit. Says new stainless steel appliances. In fact, appliances are the most basic (cheap) Ive ever seen in a rental. The refrigerator doesnt make ice. The dishwasher stops if you open door and has to be completely reset to run again. Definitely wouldnt plan on cooking for a crowd on the stove.
3. Kitchen is poorly supplied. Total of 4 bowls.
4. Very misleading to say this unit has 2 bathrooms. The supposed 2nd bathroom has a toilet that doesn function because you have to sit sideways to avoid bashing your face into the sink. The sink in this bathroom is completely non-functional. Smallest sink i’ve ever seen. Maybe would work for small child? Doesnt work for adults. Walk in shower is the only functional part.
4. The duplex is right on the beach but -from the porch- you can only see the ocean if you sit in corner closest to the partition that divides the porch for the 2 units. Even then - i had to stack and sit on top of 4 chairs to see. Otherwise you can only see sand dunes and sea grass because the sand dune is built up high against the porch.
5. Same is true for the inside. Listing makes it sound like you can see the beach from the front room but you can’t. Maybe with some really tall barstools???
6. We had a terrible infestation of black flies on the porch. HUNDREDS of black flies made the porch unusable after the first night.
7. I also saw bugs in the kitchen - ants and roaches!! No sign during the day but lots of creepy crawlies scattering when i turned on kitchen light at night.
8. Nails are popping up on the porch.
9. Door to porch sticks pretty badly.
10. The only functioning bathroom is a super cheap bath fitter makeover.
11. Overall - we would not go back to this rental nor would we ever rent from the management company again anywhere. Beware!
