Not what it seems
"The staff were very nice and went above and beyond. The room was "clean," the kitchen area was not very clean. The appliances were rusty and very dated looking, the cabinets and refrigerator were not clean. The drain area in the bathroom looked like they had not been cleaned."

Overall good experience

Great home, perfect weekend get away
"Perfect home for a weekend get away! Close to the beach, restaurants, and other fun places. We did not use the pool bc it is off-season, but it is right across the street which would be nice in the summer. Hoping to come back soon!"

It had clearly been a while since it was cleaned...
"At first glance, everything appeared to be in decent order. The more we unpacked and established ourselves is when the dirt, dust and cobwebs appeared. The closet door that appeared to cover the HVAC unit had fluffy tufts of dust and dirt stuck to the slats. The counters were greasy. There was residual ..."
