My friend and I got a deal on this place for a 3-night stay after Labor Day. For the money is was a bargain to get so much house, a block from the beach with a hot tub and pool. There is a public access parking lot right next door so I imagine during peak summer hours the beach would be quite crowded but for us it was wonderful.
I did bring my dog, who initially loved the fenced in back yard until he got a sandbur (google for images if you are not familiar) stuck in his paw bed that we had a heck of a time removing. Upon further inspection the backyard is COVERED in these things. I spent an hour pulling the ones I could find and didn’t come close to getting them all. I can’t imagine children being able to play safely in this yard. My dog, friend and myself got stuck with sandburs several more times throughout our stay.
The house was sanitary when we arrived. Linens and towels were clean and surfaces seemed freshly wiped down. But looking closer the house is in need of a good, deep clean. The HVAC air filter was in desperate need of a change, noticeable piles of dust on fan blades and curtains and the carpets need a professional cleaning. The furniture is older and shows wear but that is somewhat expected in a place that allows pets.
Overall, for the price we paid, we were happy with the property, the location and the amenities provided. If we had been staying for longer and paying premium summertime rates I think we might’ve felt differently.
