"The Mosquito or Mosquito alarm is a machine used to deter loitering by emitting sound at high frequency. In some versions, it is intentionally tuned to be heard primarily by younger people"....We can't be the only ones...it's not for mosquito control. After the rain, the back yard to the left was a huge pond literally complete with a large group of tidal birds walking thru it... The master bedroom has a huge stain in front of the dresser...I really got tired of standing on it so I put a towel over it..The cute porch was so dirty took my time out to scrub the large white table but too many dead and alive bugs so kids wouldn't go out there??? The washer had quite a bit of sand that I cleaned....Dryer vent filled with lint???We were charged quit a bit for cleaning and it was not up to standards!!! I thought it was funny that the note said Our house was cleaned and inspected to be be sure it was done right? There needs to be curtains on the back French doors and front doors .You can see straight thru into the house....Go outside walk around the house at night and you can see into every room on the first floor. Even the master bedroom room....Could have been a cute place but with all that going on we will look elsewhere.Not wasting our time for someone to come over and do what should have been done in the first place ##### jen b.

They’ve got plenty! Ariel’s grotto is a well stocked house with plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen, especially, had just about anything we could think of. There were puzzles, games, and books for the whole family. The closet of beach gear was also an appreciated amenity.There are two items that caused a struggle while we were there. One was the Nest system. You set it to one temperature and when you come back it has adjusted itself to something completely different. The second issue was with the check out instructions. They send you one set in the email, but the house binder has another set that requires a lot more work. I had misplaced my phone, so I grabbed the binder to help and we wound up scurrying around for an extra 30-45 minutes trying to completed tasks that seemed wildly extra and in reality didn’t need to be done.Please update the binder! ##### Dani W.

Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rob C. 29 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home, great location. Some annoyances. It was overall a nice stay. The house is quite beautiful and generally well stocked with home items. King bed was really nice. Queens were ok. Did not use the twin/trundle. Nice TV/games/appliances. Some things to note: The thermostats tend to reset overnight. Was surprisingly chilly a couple mornings and we woke up cold. There was some trash left on the back deck. For the amount charged as a cleaning fee I don’t expect to have to wash AND put away all the dishes. Go around and empty all waste baskets and remove all trash to the outside receptacle as well as make sure all countertops are clean and wiped down. The cookware is pretty seasoned, the non sticks could be replaced. Definitely need a couple more spatulas. The couple they have are very thick and hard to utilize at times. If you like to sleep late, bring a sleep mask because it is a BRIGHT house. The shades on the windows offer diffusion, but that’s it. If you’re watching tv while it’s light out there will be monster glare on the tv whether the shade is closed or not. Kitchen needs a little maintenance. Some drawers hit trim pieces next to the fridge and stove when they open. Overall I’d rate it a 3.75/5. Would consider returning. ##### Rob C.
