WIFI on the TVs didn’t work. No bathroom towels in the downstairs bathroom. Too many emails about the time we had to check out. Very pricey for a check in at 4pm and a check out at 10am. Would not stay at this property again. ##### Theresa M. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 27 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Would not recommend! We did not enjoy our accommodations. There were safety concerns as well as comfort concerns. There was no smoke detector in the kitchen. Towels provided for us were not dry to the point that they left the bed damp where they were placed. The fan in the downstairs bathroom was inoperable. We received a text shortly after 9:00 PM alerting us that there was a noise complaint. We were inside with the doors and windows closed laughing as we played a board game. The information we were given told us quiet time was 10:00\. We then felt we could not and did not use the backyard, fire pit, or hot tub because we might get fined for having a good time. And that’s how it felt, we sat at a table and played a game but everything changed once we got the text message. The refrigerator and freezer were set at unsafe temperatures and the fridge door did not close/stay closed without effort. The house is farther away from the beach than they describe or show! There is not enough seating in the living room and the chairs in living room are very uncomfortable. Not a place for people who want to enjoy a group. Maybe for 2 people but it would be very stressful to stay quiet all the time with more than 2 people. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ---
