Nice rental! But baths need remodeled!!

We enjoyed our stay at "Independence Day. " One big thing that would improve the stay would be to update the bathrooms. They were extremely underwhelming. How about updating to this century? What master bath has a huge tube with a shower curtain around it? We missed it on the pictures. Then the other bathroom must have had the smallest bathtub ever. We were perplexed with the bathrooms. I will say everything else was perfect. I liked how it was quiet. Even though in the back of the neighborhood, we enjoyed the short walk into town.

Master Bath Surprise

We enjoyed the house. We didn’t realize until we got there that we had stayed there about 20 years ago. The house is in good shape, especially inside. The furnishings are above average, and everything worked as expected. That isn’t always the case. The location is great and a 3-minute walk gets you to Modica Market and a few steps further to the beach walk-outs. One thing to mention, though. The master bathroom is a real disappointment. It is comically small with two mini-sized pedestal sinks and a very small tub/shower with a wrap-around shower curtain. After the first night we used the guest room bath down the hall. An update to the master bath would put Independence Day in the ‘special’ category.
