The manager was very responsive and let us check in early/store our luggage in garage post-checkout for a few hours.
With that said, we had a lot of issues. The place hadn’t been properly cleaned upon arrival—dingy, old rugs full of hair/dust bunnies, half eaten candy on floor, soiled bath mats. (They did had the cleaning service return to quickly vacuum and change mats but it still wasn’t clean like rentals typically are.) The outdoor rug is dry rotted. There was a broken window that let in rain. (They did had a repair man come and patch it up a couple days later.) The listing showed beach supplies that were broken or not there (broken wagon/beach chairs, bikes with flat tires, no kayak). The air conditioner broke for a day and it was hot (until a repair man could come). They asked if we would let a couple into the garage to pick up a fridge. (We went back to let them in; they stayed 30 minutes looking at it but didn’t even take it.) So, while the owner was responsive, I can’t say I’ve ever stayed in a rental than required a fraction of the communication. It wasn’t relaxing to be texting the owner/coordinating repairs every day and having to go back to the house to let people in. The place isn’t rental-ready.
