Was an amazing stay

Chesley C2025-09-26

The house could use some updating but all in all we had a fabulous stay! It was clean and the water was hot with great pressure and it stayed cooled nicely at 72 degrees! It had everything we needed and the fishing was phenomenal. Now the not so great part…. Obviously the stairs… but hey it is what it is…. While the location was great and the house functional the downside here was the sleeping issues. The pull out couch was broken and we had to get a blow up mattress for our boys to sleep on. The maintenance tech came promptly after making a report and looked at the pullout and agreed it was broken. The main bedroom bed was HORRIBLE. It sank so bad in the middle you rolled into each other and getting out of it was even worse. The tech did flip around the mattress... but later that night we discovered that didn't work. Other than this everything was great for our family of 4! We will stay again! We just hope the beds are updated so we can leave a 5 star next time!

I can see why folks love it but to far from anything for me.

This field is required to submit other feedback to the company or we wouldn’t complete it. Since we must- 1. The view and beach access are really lovely 2. Vehicle traffic on the beach is a problem 3. There were large roach like bugs in the dining area 4. There are some structural issues- popcorn ceiling falling off and an uneven floor, for example. We expected the age of the home to present the need for some upgrades and updates and were okay with that. Having several issues in addition to the bugs will prevent us returning. Again- we tried to submit all our issues privately but to be able to do so we were required to complete this field. The information for private use is more detailed as we are not attempting to publicly air grievances.

Our family loved the location of this home! Seriously such a beautiful beach and loved seeing the island right across the way. Good location to travel to the 4 nearby lighthouses as well. We traveled to nearby cape San blas which has a beautiful beach but loved the area of this home more due to being more quiet and less businesses. Stairs up to home and down to beach were as pictured and not a problem. Deck was wonderful to sit out on. Couch makes into bed for more sleeping spaces. 2 bathrooms was nice. Kitchen was fully stocked with equipment to make food. Would recommend to others and hope to stay here again!
