The pros: This house was a great space for a large family gathering of adults and kids. The location on the water is nice great for sunsets and east water access for the kids. These are the main reasons to rent this house. You can walk to the south edge of the property around the rock armoring along the beach. We didn’t see this until low tide and already had some cut feet.
What could have been better? - For the amount each stay pays in a cleaning fee, it should be much cleaner. The patio doors were filthy so we cleaned them and the glass coffee table was likewise dirty. Several surfaces where in need of a wipe down. The kitchen supplies really needs to be gone through. Plates and bowls had dried food all over them, there was a partial lasagna in the oven (thank you Dawn spray and wash), and several cooking tools either smelled rancid or had food caked in them.
Only one wash cloth for every two people? At least everyone got their own towel.
I don’t expect a VRBO to stock you with everything you need, but they could have done a better job with trash bags (only one), paper towels (one roll), and limited toilet paper.
There were issues with the fridge not working, which we knew the week prior, and they provided another fridge. The second one didn’t work either, but at least they were responsive. Unfortunately, the second one smelled of fish and we had to clean it out with vinegar.
Overall I’d rent again for the space and location.
