My family and I were meant to stay for 7 nights- we only stayed 3. We started noticing by day 3 that every time we got back to the house we would all start coughing badly, including our 10 month old child most of the night. The coughing would only occur when we were in the house. When we started looking for the cause we found:
- Black mold by in almost all the windows
- Black mold seeping through the paint in the loft
- The fans in BOTH bathrooms were not working (an issue raised by another guest 2 months ago), which only exacerbated the mildew
- Humidity throughout the house was so bad that when we laid towels down on the carpet at night, in the morning they were incredibly humid
Besides the mold, there were also some more issues with the state of the property:
- The BBQ was horribly rusted and corroded due to the sea water. All the dials have turned green and the igniter no longer works. It didn't feel safe using it to cook our food.
-No lock on the living room sliding door. Instead, they provide you a stick for you to use as a security measure.
- Kitchen not stocked with the basics- no coffee, no salt, some "clean" glasses stained with lipstick
- Popcorn kernels and dirty napkins under the couches
This property is in a gorgeous location. Yes, the view was partially obstructed but the view to the ocean is still great. The property is in a desperate need of a deep cleaning and repair. There is no excuse for so much black mold and I regret having my family stay here.
