Dream Home with Gulf and Intracoastal Views, Water Access

The house siding was coming off and some of it was missing , it also had moss growing on the side of the house there was a tarp covering the roof where the shingles were missing, and it was hanging down the side of the house also weeds in grass growing on the patio by the swimming pool and missing tile in numerous places, the heater on the Jacuzzi did not work at least three different doors would not close and one of the door knobs was even backwards to where if you locked it someone one could not get out not enough towels lightbulbs burned out didn’t have a TV remote in one of the bedrooms ceiling fan didn’t work , we didn’t use the grills. They were too dirty to even touch no ping-pong balls so you could not use it. No lights on walkway out to water,and numerous other things were wrong.

House has the potential to be a five star,but it needs a lot of TLC. Mold in the washer. The house is basically clean but everything in kitchen felt greasy. Missing boards on railing …safety hazard if you have children, rotting wood on deck. The elevator will only hold one person even though it says it will hold 900 lbs. Just so many things that are not being addressed. The house is spacious and the location is perfect. It’s sad that it is not being taken care of.

We arrived 45 minutes after check-in time - and the cleaning crew was still working. We were told that the previous occupants left the place in a mess - - so we tried to be understanding about that. I would say that the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and nicely appointed. I can't say as much about the main living areas. The floor of the main living area I don't think was mopped at all after the last occupants - the floor felt dirty to bare feet and the bottoms of our feet showed a lot of dirt transfer. The windows the the back were dirty, and we cleaned those ourselves. There was also a fair amount of greasy film on the kitchen appliances and I cleaned those myself. There were two area rugs that were in bad need of replacement. There was a decor item on the kitchen island that I moved to a much less visible area - it was a broken ceramic pitcher with some very sad looking sprigs of sea grass in it. There was some obvious signs of wear on the furniture. I communicated with the owner early on about some of the cleanliness issues and we came to a mutual agreement on compensation. We also had some concerns regarding the pocket door in the upstairs bathroom and the working of the elevator, and they were very responsive. My family enjoyed our time there. I don't know how often the owner stops in to check on this property, however as a former VRBO host, it might behoove them to check in on the general condition of the place.

Needed handyman - who came an hour after stated time - numerous lights were out - unable most, but not stair well bulbs due to height. Threshd\hold of Crews quarter bedroom a fall hazard, not nailed down & split, basement toilet leaks onto garage floor & occasionally water comes up in sink after flushing..............Odor in the driveway is nasty and overpowering, standing water in the driveway close to the house was always present --- there appears to be one electrical cord on the ground near the creek running through the water and an open plumbing exchange. Pool itself was fine, pavers were not in place around pool edge, not enough lounge chairs, spa tub didnt work, 3 metal chairs were left at the end of the pier that we had to relocate for more seating. The hose was a tripping hazard in front of the entry to the pier, the pool man on Monday wrapped it up and moved it aside when he came. NO pool umbrella. Ran out of toilet paper in ALL 3 bathrooms, no napkins in kitchen, wine frigerator needs a good cleaning.

Incredible property with amazing pool, hot tub with amazing view out to the channel and your own private dock. We had a large crew of 12 and felt incredibly comfortable. Thank you!
