Almost Great

Great location, nice room. Big snafu: the pullout was missing linens and a warm blanket. After an hour of multiple attempts and failures to reach the property manager for proper bedding, we finally went to Target and purchased our own. I understand that s*** happens, which is understandable, however the follow-up support was poor to non-existent. They never made an attempt or gesture to make up for the snafu, only a text apology. Good presentation but big miss on the landing.

Perfect little Bungalow! Clean and host was extremely responsive. My only advice is adding info about the washer dryer on site in the house info. I only found out on the last day when I walked by the laundry room by the garbage containers. I already booked the larger bungalow for my daughter’s college move in day.

Check-in was easy and clear. We usually do a couple breakfasts and lunches at home to save a little money so would love to see a toaster included for the kitchenette area but otherwise it's just right for a beach bungalow.
