Because of the horrible conditions of the property we did not stay a single night. At first we were a little concerned about the abandoned looking trailer/house maybe a hundred feet in front of the house we rented that was not pictured in the description. As we walked around the property and we all became more and more disturbed and disgusted by the state of the house. There was dead bugs everywhere, including on top of the “clean” bed, that also had grass and dirt like an animal had laid on it. When we first came in the bathroom’s window had been open letting in rain. The bathroom trashcan was completely full. There was a part of the shower which had been rotted and there was silverfish crawling around. The flooring had been cracking and seperating, and not cleaned in what looked like weeks. The couch had what looked like urine stains on it from an animal and smelled like urine and the whole house smelled of mold and mildew. The underpinning was pulled away from the house allowing access to wild animals, there was also a window that had the screen pulled off of it. We heard several concerning noises from what sounded like inside the walls. When we finally had enough and began to leave we saw a opossum running out from under the house.We still have no confirmation that the owners will be giving our money back and have had no communication with anyone able to actually help us. We have literally been scammed

Sugar Shack

We were disappointed it was not as cozy as pictures indicated. Grass was long and inviting for mosquitoes. The pool water was low and we weren’t sure it was prepared for guest. Inside, there was a small, very worn couch. And the bedding was not comfortable. We ended up only staying one night. The landscaping crew did arrive Saturday as we were loading our car. Host was very nice but the property has untapped potential.

The pool was great and the air conditioning worked perfectly. It was a great quiet spot in the hustle and bustle of summertime at the beach. There were a few minor repairs that are needed to be fixed, but nothing that really impacted our stay. They might also want think about adding a microwave to the kitchen.

A Few Issues…

Overall the property was as listed in the description. The house was a little hard to find as it was off of a dirt road that no longer had a sign with the street name. Once we arrived the mosquitos were horrible. The properties on both sides of ours had grass that was about waist high and we were absolutely swarmed every time we walked outside. Due to this me and my wife were unable to enjoy the pool. Inside the living room AC did not work very well but the bedrooms were cold. In the primary bedroom the ceiling light did not work and we found a small roach in the bed. Also, almost every blind in the house had the stick that rotates to close the blinds snapped off so it was very difficult to close the blinds. I would only recommend this location to others if the above listed issues were fixed.
