The house is situated amongst other rentals and some permanent homes. The location is stunning; we travelled all around the island and I don't think any beach compared to the one steps from our door.
The house itself was perfect for our party of 7 (grandparents + my family of 5) in terms of space. However, the house requires a thorough, professional deep clean. In my opinion, the house is only tidied between guests:
- All high-touch surfaces, including drawer and cabinet pulls, cupboard and drawer faces, the fridge/freezer doors and handles, and door knobs were visibly dirty. The ceiling above the top bunk is covered in dirty footprints.
- The cutlery doesn't match, there's a large, old crockpot which I doubt anyone has ever used, and the pots and pans are a mish-mash. This would all be minor though had these items been clean. The cups/mugs/glasses especially had either fingerprints or dried-up food on them. The cooking utensil drawer resembled a junk drawer with the drawer liner bunched up and folded over the utensils.
- The floors were not cleaned. The first thing we noticed when we walked in was dirt and hair around the bar stools. In the utility closet, the mop is still in its packaging. The island counter was sticky to the touch when we arrived.
- The toothbrush holder in the upstairs bathroom was full of brown gunk topped with a hair.
- Some of the towels were stained and need replacing. Only 6 beach towels when the house is for 7.
- No extra TP or garbage bags.
