Dog Friendly Nice Sized house

The floor plan is very spacious- nice layout. If you have trouble with stairs or don’t want to let dog out by going down stairs each time, not a good property for you. Under the house is fenced with a grass & nice cool area for pet to play. You have to drive to the beach & not in area easy for golf carts. Master bed was comfortable. Suggest owner get an upgraded shower head. There was mold on vents of AC. The shower had mold too at base of the shower. A dehumidifier probably needs to be bought & attic-vents checked. The bath tub was not clean. They should invest in better sofa at some point & bigger tv in living. Checkout is a hard stop at 10am with no grace time so be sure to get up early. Seemed a bit strict for being at the beach the previous day. Nobody can check in until 4 so seems a bit rigid for a vacation home. Pots & pans were dirty with rust. Bring your own spices. No cleaning supplies at all. Needs better towels. We enjoyed the pool. The area seems safe for walking. Cute neighborhood. It was okay but probably will look for another property.
