Review Score:   8
Summary: Trying to retrieve several items that got left behind. Place was clean and well stocked. Might want to fi the toilet flapper handle as it doesn't closed properly and the toilet keeps running. Did figure out if you pulled up hard on the handle it would close but didn't realize it was as problem till the night of the first day. Worked around the problem but as it's on a septic a running toilet can be an issue for sure Wi -Fi worked great. The directions to the property and the beach were confusing but we figured both out. All and all very satisfied. Hoping I hear back on getting the itemd left behind returned.
