Pros
• Location is wonderful. It’s easy on/off the island and everything you need is nearby – food shopping, restaurants, etc..
• Views and beach are awesome.
• Open floor plan allows for gathering and bedrooms provide privacy given their locations – nice to have both.
• Feels much larger than the noted square footage.
• Service/communication from rental management company was excellent. They were highly proactive, something that was noticed and appreciated very much.
• We were there in the off-season and it is a very quiet area at that time of year – peaceful and tranquil.
• Kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need.
• Plenty of parking – easy in and out.
• The fact they have YouTube TV signed in makes it easy to watch sports.
• We had 8 adults and two kids – the place easily handled us, with room to spare.
• Might seem like a minor thing, but the fact they collect trash twice a week is a big plus. A large family on vacation generates a lot of trash!
• Place was very clean and organized when we arrived – that isn’t always the case with home rentals.
• Lots of notebooks and instructions – if you needed to figure something out, it was at your fingertips.
• LOTS of seating – a huge plus.
• Private walk to the ocean – really feels like your own beach.
Opportunities
• Could use more updating. Living space and kitchen have been upgraded, as well as the master bedroom/bath. The other bathrooms/bedrooms are a little tired.
• Hot water seems to have a tough time making it to the upstairs showers.
• Bit of a bummer to have the icemaker on the fridge be down for the two weeks we were there. The rental company provided ice and a thoughtful gift basket for the inconvenience.
• Closet space is limited – probably not an issue for a visit of a week or less, but we were there for two weeks and it was a big inconvenient.
• It’d be nice to figure out a way to ensure the pool can be heated no matter the temperature. We have a pool at our home and can get it up to 85 degrees even if the outside temps are in the 40’s. Of course, it requires more energy (cost), but we would have paid more to have a functioning pool.
• Electric stove – ugh.
• Updated washer/dryer would be great.
Overall, the place is terrific! The positives far outweigh the areas of opportunity and I suspect as they continue to invest in the place, it’ll only get better and better!
