Enjoyable home for family vacation

We enjoyed our week at Sweet Em’s. This home comfortably fit Our family of 8 adults and several littles under 5. It was well equipped with about everything you might want for a beach vacation. We had a few issues that required a call to maintenance but they promptly answered and attended to our concerns. Short walk to beach was a plus and outdoor shower welcomed. Very appreciative of the welcome items including a bottle of wine. Each room is tastefully decorated to help you enjoy a beach vacation! Would stay here again.

Emotion

The house was a nice house. It wasn’t very clean. We cleaned as much as we could. The door that goes outside in the master needs repaired. One of the drawers in the kitchen was barely hanging. We cleaned the stairway railing. The filter on the AC unit is filthy. Handprints hadn’t been cleaned on the doors. The mirrors were dirty.
