Overall the stay was pleasant. Check-in was stressful. I received a quick response when I booked but I did not receive anything else until I called the owner at 4pm (check-in). I did send a message via HomeAway at 845am asking how check-in would work but no one responded. After the call at 4pm, I did receive a text from the owner with the code. The owner also followed up to see if we got in. I did not receive the "what to expect on the day of arrival" from Homeaway until 440pm after we already got into the house. The house is in a wonderful location and is beautiful. The pool was delightful and a wonderful addition to the trip. It was easy to walk to the beach and enjoy the sunsets. Restaurants were within a 5-10 min drive so it was nice to have everything close but be slightly away from the crowds. The note on the fridge stated we had to wash/dry the towels and linen before we left but there was no detergent so we bought some. I've never had to wash items that belong to the property on top of paying a cleaning fee so that was a bit odd. The request makes the last day less relaxing since you need to wake up and make sure everything is washed/dryed before leaving. There were no trash bags so we had to use grocery bags. We would have bought some but didn't realize there were no extra bags in the house prior to cleaning up. The cleaning group arrived right at 11 and stated that we did not need to do the laundry so we asked why the note told us to but they weren't sure. Overall the house was very nice, the location is amazing but there were various items that made me feel stressed or put off a bit. I just felt I've paid way less for better rental service.
