Just for the shell of it

Pictures of this property are accurate. However they have a bug problem, there were new dead bugs every morning, and live bugs every night.. The HVAC was out of order, but fortunately for us the Realty company brought in 1 window/floor unit. Which was fine for October, it wasn't too hot. The oven was slow to cook, making it twice as long to make simple things and it created more heat the house. The small bathroom toilet was in need of attention. And the floor was soft in various places. We enjoyed our stay, but I don't think I can talk my family into staying here again. Just too many odd things that were not right.

This place was great. It looks just how it does in the photos. It was really clean, right on the beach. Absolutely what we needed. Will definitely be coming back.

A unclean house with bad bedding

Upon arrival a strong fish odor was present. We found fish fins on floor. Biting flies had swarmed trying to get in. My grandson killed 36 in den dining room area in minutes. Also there was an ant infestation. The bed in master bedroom is very loud. The least movement will wake everyone!The sliding screen door needs to be fixed. We needed that!We had asked about availability for Thanksgiving week upon arrival at realtor office and was told it was open. A definite "No Thanks"!
