NTB106 Scotch Bonnet Sunrise

This house was amazing. We will for sure be renting this house again!

The great ocean view!!

Great location and ocean views!

the beach, the pool, the house...so wonderful. Owner was there when I arrived. Had difficulty in using the keypad. He was so helpful. He handed me his business card and told me to call if I had any problems. Pool and hot tub were cleaned twice while we were there. All the time sparkling water. Extra refrigerators, two stoves, 2 dishwashers were all a plus. Had a problem with the kitchen sink running slow, addressed immediately. The owner and his staff were right on with attention to any concerns. We were there over the 4th of July, fireworks fantastic. This was a wonderful family vacation.

The house and location were amazing.

When we arrived, we could not get into the home with the code provided. We called and spoke to someone and they gave us multiple codes. One of the codes only had 4 digits, so I figured out the lockbox code and we just used that. Never got in with the keypad. Upon trying to move in, the door handle to the main level elevator entrance jammed up. This caused a whole bunch of grumpy folks having to lug things to the second floor to get the elevator. They did send someone within an hour of us letting them know, but we were already moved-in by the time he got it fixed (the repair guy was wonderful). The house was clean, but in much need of a deep clean. Lots of dense dust on the lamps, bathroom vanities, mirrors, etc. When cooking, we had to be very careful about not setting off the fire alarm. The vent hood did not have a vent or light in it. It looked like it was there at one time, but now just a rusty hole. The refrigerator in the kitchen had a lower, pull-out freezer, but the handle was broken. If you pulled up on it, it would pull right off. The layout of the family room was nice, with automatic reclining sofas. There were three of them, but only 4 of the recliners operated. And the rug in the family room is filthy with stains and dirt- definitely time for a new rug. The real icing on the cake was the heater on the pool was broken. The email that was sent to us, just prior to going, said "Pool Heat is no longer available for the 2023 season due to extensive repairs needed on the heater". Okay, then repair! This was an expensive house and we would have never rented it if we had known the pool wasn't going to be able to be heated! If these items were addressed, I would say it is a good house. The layout is nice and the multiple king bedrooms with ensuite baths is a rare find. It needs some down time and given some some maintenance, cleaning and to be refreshed. I was the one that rented the house for our group. I initially booked it with a local realty company. I read the reviews prior to booking and they were positive. Soon after booking the home, it's rental management changed. I was notified of the change and for whom I was to send payment and get instructions moving forward. As our reserved stay got closer, the reviews for the house were becoming less and less positive. Maybe the owners changed rental companies because they wanted to save money? You know the old adage "you get what you pay for"? Sadly we did not.
