Highlights are great location, a/c through out, many spots to hang out inside and out with incredible views. Updated home and design. We had some struggles with fridge not cold, very dirty blender, dryer door popping open causing clean, wet clothes to be on the floor, and a squirrel ate through the garbage barrel. Darren was very responsive to any msgs I sent and had someone come out to clean up the garbage. He also came right away to check on the fridge and dryer. Unfortunately, we had to throw away everything in the full fridge. Some recommendations would be to have clean towels/ sheets delivered and not rely on renters cleaning. Bath, hand and face cloths were dingy with numerous stains and dish towels in kitchen drawers were dirty. Get rid of all the excess trays, bowls, dishes to give space for food in cupboards. The house manual says to make sure not to move things around in cupboards and make sure to put it back in exact spot. This is inevitable if there isn’t space for food. Also, provide a dish drying rack. We have been renting in South County for 7 years and we wouldn’t say this is the #1 rental. The views are fabulous and house is setup great with kayaks, beach chairs, room for family but above changes would make for a more enjoyable week.
