Fun location

The owner offered us a discount for filling in an otherwise unfillable week, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a great stay at a nice house in a great location, but there some improvements that could be made. The proximity to the beach and the changing sandbars is great. The pool and pool area was beautiful, quite enjoyable, and regularly maintained. The house interior was clean, functional, and supported a large group very well; loved the pool table. Most everything was functioning, although the ice-maker in the freezer is incredibly slow (needs maintenance). Upstairs air-conditioning did not cool, but ceiling fans made it tolerable. The exterior of the house (deck, stairs) are not well maintained. We found the gas grill filthy with a thick layer of burned-on BBQ sauce and bones and only a melted plastic brush to attempt cleaning. The deck layout is very nice, but nails and boards on the deck were popped up in many places, and the wood is badly weathered. While there, the high tides washed away the back stairs to the beach (now water-front); I was disappointed that the owner did not reply or acknowledge the e-mail I sent informing her of the damage. Fencing along the public access walkway would be a useful addition. Many people parking for the day ended up walking (some relieving themselves) under the house or through the yard to get to the beach, especially during high tide (which was under the house by the time we left). Again, we had a wonderful time here for nearly two weeks, it met our vacation needs, and we have no major complaints. But with a little more loving care, this can be an outstanding property.
