The Sea Star

The home was absolutely beautiful. Beds very comfortable. I feel like the cleaning fee you pay is not within the level of clean the home was in when we arrived. The floors were very dirty. Not sand but food crumbs etc. and one bedroom had not been cleaned and bedspread had food all over it. The garage was in disarray and the outside area were not clean and straightened. We cleaned every floor and washed the bedding on one bed. It’s frustrating to pay that amount of a cleaning fee and just arrive and it not be handled. Especially with the amount you pay for the rental itself. We also used the clubhouse pool one day and told in info we had access to clubhouse. My niece used code and went in and had a man tell her only homeowners have access. I called to verify to which we were told we absolutely did have access and the man came back out to tell us he was the property manager. The beach was beautiful and peaceful. As is Mexico Beach. No large commercialized buildings etc. Once all the construction is done it will be an awesome area. Lots of construction on every street with many nails and sharp things on street. We picked up as we were out walking. The construction was not disturbing or loud. We did also experience ants and fruit flies in house. I’m sure some of this comes from ongoing construction. Cape and Coast did send someone to spray outside. Cape and Coast has excellent customer service. Always very friendly and apologetic for issues and did try to handle quickly.

Pros: This property has an awesome location. It is fairly close to the gulf with a private beach. One day it will be a great place to rent. Cons: However, everything is under construction except a couple of houses. Also, trash not picked up and a ton of flies downstairs making the outside kitchen unusable. The trash was ripped apart by gulls before picked up. The house was infested with drain flies that got into all our food. Arrived Sat., trash not picked up until Tues. Had an exterminator out twice, still had flies when we left. We lost a lot of food with the flies even in the refrigerator. Had to cover EVERYTHING. Throughout all floors including bathrooms. The house should not have been rented at this time. Dangerous construction traffic the entire street. Need to rent a golf cart but it is dangerous on the streets with the construction traffic. Entire street lined with construction trucks, debris, etc. Children could not be outside in the front at all. Back yard has beautiful pool but sand yard with construction debris still mixed in. Glass, wood, nails, and pieces of insulation throughout the yard. Since it is dirty sand, there is no way to keep sand from blowing into the pool. Impossible with toddlers as they cannot go into the yard at all. Despite the loss of food, the awfulness of dealing with a bug infestation and massive construction going on... no partial refund or benefit was offered to us. We paid full price for this mess.
