The property was just fine, could use a little updating for sure as the place was worn, but it was clean and tidy. The location is absolutely amazing with the beach just steps away and so close to the pier.
The main reason for the review is honestly just a reflection of the policies of Beachview. Being a vacation home owner myself, there's just a certain standard I believe you should have for your guests. Things like coin operated laundry, only providing 'starter' amounts of toilet paper and paper towels, listing showing they don't offer shampoo/conditioner etc was just really below expectations and it felt like we were being nickled and dimed all over the place. With the cleaning fee paid, it was surprising these things aren't included as generally you account for these costs in that fee.
Finally, I realize there's a lot of issues with renters who aren't respectful, and I get that, but each email and the letters left were over emphasizing all the ways you can incur additional fines (like not washing and putting away all the dishes prior to leaving). While some are very understandable, it just felt over the top after a while.
In fairness to Beachview, they were super responsive whenever I contacted and very polite and helpful. There were a couple of minor issues (broken hairdryer, missing beach chairs) they offered to fix immediately, so they were very on top of those things.
In the end would I rent from Beachview again, perhaps. However, I would prioritize a privately owned vacation rental simply because of the overall experience, the small details do make a difference. Our experience wasn't poor by any means at all, it just wasn't phenomenal either.
