CC039: Our Mulligan

We thoroughly enjoyed the home. Very spacious and plenty of room for everyone to hang out. I’m pointing out things that the owners may want to be aware of or consider as upgrades/repairs are considered:The lower level:King size room: bathroom fan is not functioning properly.The lower bunk room mattresses are uncomfortable. The upper is very hard, the lower mattress coils are protruding. That bed was so uncomfortable, our teen slept on the sofa. We take great care in picking our vacation homes with the expectation that everyone will have a comfortable bed.The carpeted areas are full of sand and probably the norm for being at the beach, but just thought I’d mention. Carpet could be replaced, especially the stairs. Extra towels would be nice to have on hand as the towels provide are small and thin. The quality is basic and much better once we washed the towels. We contacted housekeeping and they quickly delivered additional towels which was super helpful.Upper level:Kitchen sink drained very slow. Highly suggest a garbage disposal unless there is some restriction or problem to having this. We cook everyday would have expected a garbage disposal to be the norm. Cooking sheet type pans were not there. Would suggest having a few available for use. An extra touch would be to have some type of Tupperware/storage dishes for leftovers. I think we had pretty much every other thing needed when cooking.Loft was a nice little space to get away. Upon arrival one of the turtle flippers was completely broken off and sitting on top of the glass table. Probably could be re-attached.Powder room sink drained very slow and probably needs clearing or some type of adjustment.The ice maker in the island is not installed properly and makes it hard to shut the door. Kind of have to lift up the unit and maneuver the door closed. Kids my not be as intuitive and may leave it open. I was always keeping an eye, trying to be sure the door was closed.One of fridge door shelves broke while we were there. The white part that fits into the door was fine, the clear plastic insert that holds items on that shelf snapped in half. Not sure if it was cracked and finally gave way or what, but we bought super glue and fixed. Probably need to buy a new plastic piece to insert. We are happy to cover that cost as it snapped in half during our stay. No other damage noted.There were 2 bikes that we were excited to see but the tires were flat so we didn’t get to enjoy.These are the things we noted. All fairly minor. Biggest suggestion is the garbage disposal. I can certainly appreciate the expenses involved with upkeep and that would be a minimal cost to make a world of difference. This would likely help with the slow drainage as I’m sure guests may not be as diligent in scraping dishes into the trash before rinsing in the sink.The home was very clean upon arrival. I didn’t feel the need to re-wash kitchen-ware before use. We love the community and will definitely return. Having the trolley available for beach transport was super convenient. The pool was a favorite activity. It was nice to have some floats on hand to enjoy. The smooth surface of the pool with some ledges along the side was very nice. The patio deck and surrounding area was easy on the feet. Having music outside was nice. Plenty of seating at the table to enjoy meals together. The extra game table to the side was nice to play some Uno with the kids. We found poker chips at the end of the trip…maybe next time on some poker competition :)Thank you for allowing us to stay in this home and enjoy a wonderful week at the beach with family. Oh and the weather was super nice with minimal rain.

This house was amazing for a "family reunion" beach trip. The home is absolutely stunning; with comfortable furniture, beautiful decor, and so many conveniences. The upper level was wonderful - so much space and so many different things to do - we could have all twelve of our guests in that space, and be together but not crowded. The shuffleboard table was used many many times - it was a great easy activity for all ages! The kitchen was so well stocked - everything we could have wanted was there - plenty of pots, pans, serving dishes, coffeemakers, toasters, electric griddles....etc. Wine fridge, two dishwashers, ice-maker, and a well-functioning gas stove were all great conveniences. The bedrooms were nice sizes with comfortable beds, and lovely bathrooms for each. All 10(!) TVs were modern smartTVs and easy to log into with our own subscription services. The pool and hot-tub area were wonderful - and the outdoor speakers with ability to play any music from amazon music was a great feature! Furniture around the pool was really luxurious and comfortable. The kids especially appreciated that the hot tub had adjustable temperature control. The den area on the middle bedroom floor and the recreation area on the bottom floor were well used - it was so nice to have options so folks could spread out and get some alone time if they needed it. The elevator was a huge help for arrival/departure days, as well as bringing groceries up and trash down. We had only two small issues. The washing machine was broken when we arrived on Saturday. It took four days for a replacement machine to be provided (received Wednesday afternoon), which was a pretty significant inconvenience (we wound up doing laundry by hand in a huge bucket using the outdoor hose). Secondly, a couple of our guests mentioned they could hear road noise from 12 when they were out by the pool. All in all, this house provided an incredible experience for our extended family. It was a wonderful home for us to spend time together. I appreciate the owners offering this beautiful home to share - and I hope we will be able to return.
