Great house for a small group for a short stay. We rented for ~ 3 weeks, which is too long to have all the issues we encountered. We asked the owner, Colin, if he had been to the house – it felt uncared for. He seemed concerned, sent his “handyman” to meet with us. The handyman presented himself as the “property manager”; told us there was nothing to be done about our concerns, yelled at us, told us “this wasn’t the Hyatt, we couldn’t complain about things, & WE COULD GET THE HELL OUT if we didn’t like it". Obviously, we did not interact again with him.
The house looks pretty. It was a good renovation but has not been well cared for since then. Sofas are stained, mattress pads stained & dirty. Outdoor furniture broken & mildewed. We were there during a windy period & there was no way to get plant debris out of the bottom of the pool. The pool leaked 1” of water/day so we were refilling, which alters the chemicals.
There are counter stools for 3, no indoor dining table. The outdoor table was great for breakfast & lunch, but bugs arrived before dinner.
Pretty kitchen, but not equipped for any real cooking – scratched Teflon pans – we bought a new frying pan & sauce pan – both of which Colin reimbursed us for; only 3 wine glasses – we requested more glasses & received metal tumblers; the listing say it sleeps 6 but only has 6 dinner plates!, the dishwasher rack is missing 3 of 8 wheels, so it fell off the track every time it was used; sink in master bath dripped loudly all night.
None of these issues are large/all could be easily remedied if the property was being properly cared for. We would suggest professional management. We loved Delray & will be renting in the area again in the future, but not this house.
