Check in was easy and communicating with management was easy. Although the house was dirty when we checked in. Sand and dried up food was on the floor and countertops were not wiped down. Found a modelo beer under the couch from previous guests. A fan in the master bedroom did not work, the shower in the 2nd bathroom was broken and tied up with a Walmart bag. Maintenance was supposed to come ck on the fan but never came. With some routine maintenance and a good cleaning crew this would be a 5 star review ##### Deanna M.
