Positives: The house is really really well kept. It's nice and clean in a great location -- a minute walk to the boardwalk. Plenty of dining options right there. The owners are very responsive and communicative. The AC is terrific. The house was cool the whole time during the hot days of June.
Only Negative:
1. Owners give you a lot of housework on the day of checkout. Strip each bed & place everything "on the floor" next to the bed. Collect the towels and wash cloths, etc and place them in "neat pile(s)". Clean your items from the refrigerator. Wash all your dishes and cookware. No dirty dishes!
Collect the trash and recycled items and place them outside in the appropriate containers. No garbage bin is given for recyclables in the house.
By 10am checkout time! Many of these chores could have been done by the cleaning crew that came at 10am, especially for the prices we are paying for this place. Or have a later check out time.
With young kids who sleep in or are too young to help, and the list of chores assigned to us by the owners, the morning just became a scramble to pack, clean, eat and leave without risking the deposit.
The property is great for folks who are staying with people who can all chip in on checkout morning and pack and clean the house before 10am.
