Grear location but

This is a great location for a close walk to the beach. The air condition works very well. The garbage disposal was clogged when we got there but when I called the office they sent maintenance right away and they fixed it. The beds are not comfortable at all. It was pretty difficult to sleep and we woke up with a lot of back pain. I thought the frame was going to fall apart every time I barely moved. The pillows and the matresses were stained and there was hair in the sheets when we got there. We called the office and they came with clean sheets right away. There was a gigantic roach in the bedroom downsrairs but i guess thats might be expected at the beach. The water heater was not very hot. The refrigerator door opens facing the wall and not toward the kitchen. That was awkward. Also the microwave turntable did not work. The diswasher is not screwed in properly and comes out on the right side. The toaster oven does not work properly and tears up the bread and pieces fall through it. Also you cannot read numbers in the stove to know if it is high low or on because it is electric. Other than all of that we had a nice time because we were with our family and friends. But i do not think it was worth the price at all. Now if they were to replace the stained pillows and put comfortable matresses then it would have been worth the price and they could actually say it is luxurious but it was not. The house was nice but the comfort was under average.
