Great week with some disappointments
I am really not one to leave a negative review - but I do want to give a realistic review of this house for people who are potential renters! Here are some pros and cons.
Pros: Lovely location, right on the bike path, very convenient to ponds and bay beaches, quiet neighborhood. Great kitchen! Nice livingroom/dining area. Nice to have linens provided.
Cons: The listing on VRBO said the house included access to tennis and pickle-ball courts, which was not true, as the owner had let her membership lapse. (Del Mar has since removed that from the ad.) Outdoor shower is literally underneath the deck at the basement level and is totally dark and grungy. The three season porch was missing screens (and one fell off upon our arrival and fell through a crack in the deck and down to the basement level!) so we didn't use it at all - it was too hot! Other than that, the house was in pretty run-down condition, considering how much it cost to rent. The pictures (as they tend to do) overstated the house.
The good news: Del Mar Vacations was really great to work with. Christina helped us navigate the issues and was very accomcodating and friendly.
Overall it was a great week with a few disappointments.
