Jacuzzi was 4 feet deep with no seats; treacherous. Did not use. Other full bathroom shower was narrow, needs curved shower rod, no slip tape on floor, hand rails and new liner curtain. Ourside shower needs floor to be raised so you are not standing in inches of dirty water. The bedrooms could each use a chair, some for reading or working and others for just putting on your shoes. Mattress in master bedroom needs replacing. Other than the bathing challenge, we had a good time. ##### Patricia M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sue W. 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### 2024 The Crystal The grass is not mowed and has not been for quite some time. There are snakes all around this neighborhood and the grass not being mowed is dangerous. The house itself was clean, but it needs quite a bit of work done to make it safer. The banisters on the decks are loose, and a piece of the ceiling actually fell off while we were there. The water pump messed up and we had no water for two day, and it took three days to get the Internet on in the house. If you have small children, I would recommend finding a different rental. ##### Sue W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 25 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach Property was fine. Needed more kitchen dinnerware and silverware and a dust pan. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Margaret F. 2 Aug 2020 Liked: Check-in, location #### Needs some improvement Clothes were left on floor of 1 deck from previous tenant. When sitting on left side if couch and at the dining table we had water drip down on us. Weeds were high and even after contacting someone they were not weedwhacked and there was poison oak all around the entrance so my grandson couldn't walk around outside. The cable wasn't working for 3 days until someone came to fix it. Sofa bed is unsafe to use as the frame is all rusted and matters in bad shape. Bed in master bedroom has a bad mattress that should be replaced. Anyone who has trouble walking alot of steps don't stay here as there is alot in house and alot to walk up/down to get to the beach. ##### Margaret F.
