1st going back to the beginning of the booking, Vrbo charged one fee - the property manager another - so I ended up paying more than what was advertised. You are not allowed to check in until after 5pm, when we got there, the remoteless keylock did not work, we had to call the property manager, they were closed, they close at 5, after some time, someone finally called us back - and we got in. Not sure why you would have a check in time when there is no one to handle problems. Think you would either make the check in time earlier, or close later. The entire walk and steps were covered in sand, and I had a hard time getting into the cottage. The property manager said that they would text us a new key code, which they never did, and told us to call back in the morning about the sand (which was Easter Sunday)
the cottage was clean with the exception of the counter tops which were dirty and sticky - they also had a huge crack which was repaired with epoxy - the sofa seat cushion was missing a zipper, many of the windows were missing screens, the fans did not work - etc.... all in all, what you can not beat at this cottage is the location - It is right on the beach, and the views are amazing. Although the sand drifts made it very difficult to park or move our car.
