Initial impression wasn't great--main floor toilet was leaking. Turns out it just keeps running so rather than deal with maintenance people, we turned off the valve.
Sticky kitchen counter tops, crumbs on the "clean" dishes in the cabinets, dead bugs in the fridge, and an inside temperature of under 60 because the heat was off and then we found that all the floor vents were closed. Towels in the washer, sheets that were maybe not clean...
We spent the first hour changing the beds and cleaning the kitchen.
After that, we had a fabulous time. It's literally under 5 minutes to the beach and it's wonderfully quiet. The firepit was perfect and there's tons of parking.
The wooded grounds of the house are marred a bit by a couple trash dumps but we avoided them after the first day.
The hot tub was great and we knew it was clean because the hot tub maintenance man showed up the second day. So much for solitude.
The storm that knocked out power for 18 hours was thrilling but the beach was still wonderful. There's games and tons of emergency lighting. The gas fireplace was a blessing.
We enjoyed our stay but we expected a bit more for our money. The towels were tatty, paint was shabby and no welcoming touches like at other VRBOs we've stayed at.
I think we'll stick to non-corporate owned in the future.
