Positives:
• Well-equipped kitchen with everything needed for cooking.
• Convenient amenities including an ice maker.
• On-site parking.
• Quiet neighborhood.
• Close to the beach (within 3 blocks).
• Excellent shower pressure and temperature.
• Great isolation from neighboring rentals.
Negatives:
• Property managers sent an agreement to sign that violates VRBO policies, requiring all agreements to be signed through VRBO. Signing it could override VRBO's ability to assist with issues.
• Requirement to report any issues within 60 minutes of arrival was inconvenient.
• Broken back door lock necessitated using a wooden plank. Upon notifying property management, the response was “it is the safest way”.
• Ants in the kitchen upon arrival. Property management dropped off buy spray and expected me to exterminate ants myself as well as suggested not to have food in the kitchen.
• Beds were uncomfortable with poor-quality mattresses, making sleep difficult for all family members. One of them couldn't even support the weight of a 100-pound teenager. Throughout our vacation, we had to rotate sleeping arrangements, which was challenging.
In summary, while I would consider returning to the area, I would not stay at this vacation rental again due to stressful dealings with the property management and the critical issue of inadequate sleep for my family throughout our stay.
