Property looks like it could be nice one day, but needs work and updating. Dishwasher is broken Not the cleanest Kitchen supplies are lacking. The owner is super nice and accommodating. He brought us ice in the middle of the night from his house. I want to return when things are in order or it gets finished. ##### Rob G. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Suzanne E. 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great location, nice beach and view The location and beachfront were very nice. The cleanliness of the house could have been better. For example, upon arrival the bathroom mirrors were dirty, wet clothes (towels and washcloths) were left wet in the washer - we had to dry them, the floors were dirty and the couch cushions were soiled. There were crumbs and debris under the cushions, and they smelled bad. We did not have a kitchen washcloth nor bleach for laundry or bleach-based cleaning solutions.Several of the dishes in the cupboards had dried food on them and the dishwasher did not clean the dishes and the lower cleaning element was broken. The MBR toilet did not flush well without holding the handle down and the sink did not drain without propping it open. The lighting in the 2nd bathroom was very dim. One of the dining room chairs completely broke and collapsed from underneath someone sitting on it. This could be a great place to stay if some of those items would be provided. The owners were away for the weekend, so it is possible that some of these issues would have been addressed and missing items would have been provided if they were home to assist. ##### Suzanne E.
