Positives: location - very close to the beach, not crowded; pool - large and clean. The place does need some TLC - if things like just one stained oven mitt available or rusty shower curtains are going to irritate you, then this place is not for you. Our major issue was the pool heater. We could get past everything else.
The pool heater was on the fritz. We lost several mornings of pool time, and my husband had to play pool maintenance man each day on his vacation. What makes it worse was that we told Dan before booking that a working heater was of “critical importance.” He assured us the heater was working. He found out two days before our arrival that it was acting up and did not tell us. He had the pool on spa setting when we arrived to try and camouflage this, and it was too hot to swim. He only revealed he knew it was on the fritz on the 8th day of our stay. The heater could heat the pool, but it required work. My husband had to press buttons every 30 minutes to an hour every day. It constantly would shut off after a few minutes, 30 minutes on a good day. He also needed to back-flow the pump every other day. Dan’s offer to refund us the price for heating the pool was grossly insufficient.
Other issues (which we just dealt with on our own):
1. Master bed was noisy and uncomfortable. My husband realized the bed supports under the master bed were all misaligned while inspecting for more bugs after we found what looked like a cockroach (Dan said it was a palmetto bug). He realigned them, and the bed was now comfortable.
2. Refrigerator was very loud when it would draw water to make ice. The water filter was clogged, so we had to shake out debris a few times a day.
3. Both bathrooms had mildew smell, mold on shower curtains and loud ceiling fans.
4. Deck only had one plastic beach chair and 2 picnic tables.
5. Dishwasher was not mounted under the countertop. Be careful because the dinner plates are heavy and have to go on the bottom rack. If you’re not ready for it, the bottom rack can slide to the floor and on your foot.
6. Both front entry doors took some force to close.
7. Light in laundry room would flicker continuously after being on for a few minutes.
9. Master TV remote didn't work even after replacing batteries.
10. All lights are burned out by pool. If you open the kitchen and bedroom shades, you can use the light from those rooms.
11. Bedroom pillows were very flat.
