The location is perfect. Quiet and peaceful. Great beach access and a cute bench overlooking the back end of treasure island. Just minutes from central. The kitchen was well equipped.
Place was as advertised, walking distance to the beach and restaurants. We’ll be back again.
Our stay was ok. The house is quant and had everything anyone could need as far as standard supplies. The beds and linens did have some hair on them so we opted to not use the pillows. The master bed did not feel sturdy and felt like it could fall at any moment it was also very uncomfortable. The grounds were not as well kept as in the photo. We found a bag of cigarette butts tied to a pipe on the house which was gross but probably left by a guest. There was some staining on the walls in the bathroom I assumed were pee however after reaching out the cleaning company called immediately to provide explanation and were very kind on the phone. Upon checkout we noticed that the van with who we assumed the cleaners kept circling the house and looked very grumpily at us each time they drove by which left me feeling frustrated as I felt it was unnecessary. We locked the doors right at 10 am but we’re apparently inconveniencing them by staying in the driveway another 4 minutes to set our gps and get situated.
From the Owner:
"Morgan, thank you for informing us of the master bed. This is the first I'm hearing of it and will have it either fixed or replaced immediately. I apologize for the inconvenience it caused. Often we don't find out something is broken until a guest discovers that it is.
Regarding the other issues, it sounds like my guest contact was able to address them in a timely fashion. She is typically very responsive and helpful. Unfortunately, guests do indeed leave weird things in weird places and sometimes they are missed. I will inform my cleaning crew to be more thorough.
I also apologize if the cleaning crew appeared to be circling during checkout. That doesn't sound like them, but I'll make them aware. I do know that sometimes there are days when they have to clean and turn around the house for a same-day check-in so any delay in checkout can greatly hinder their job, I hope you understand. Thank you so much and I hope you had a wonderful vacation!"
