I'll start by saying that the cover picture you see for the property is not this property. This one is at the back of the village.
We had been in this village previously and liked the quiet atmosphere, so booked this property. This year, the beach is not in great shape as we remembered it. A storm had washed away all the sand and it is very rocky.
The good: Owner was very responsive. Check-in was pretty easy. You can tell that there had been some renovations there. Appliances were pretty new and in good shape. Chairs, umbrella and boogie board available.
The not so good: Cleanliness was the biggest drawback of this property. When we went in, the place smelled really musty. Only superficial cleaning had been done. Most areas were dusty. A spider had made a whole web in one of the lampshades. The microwave had food splattered inside. Some of the dishes and utensils were not clean. Dryer's lint trap hadn't been checked in a while. The back patio was dirty with debris decaying from last fall probably. The grill was not clean, but thank goodness they had liner trays available.
Overall this property is pretty tight and we felt cramped with 2 adults and 2 young kids. I can't imagine having 6 people there. Kitchen is very small with limited counter space. It is in the back of the village and not exactly by the beach. Being under the cover of trees helps with the heat since there is no A/C. It also makes the inside dark.
This property has potential, but it needs a good top to bottom clean up. Having an owner who lives somewhere else and relies on others for cleaning and maintenance, does not help the renters. Everywhere I turned I saw things that would bug me as a homeowner. For $175/week on cleaning fees, I would expect a place in pristine condition. Too bad this review does not allow one to upload photos.
