Gut: Sauberkeit
Beautiful location and helpful hosts, but property is lacking
We recently completed a 5 night stay at this "top of the line" house. The house is beautifully situated on the beach, and for those who love privacy, the location is idyllic.
The property is short of our "top of the line" expectations. First, the main living room has no window shades. The result of this lack of shades is that through most of the day you are wearing sunglasses in the house.
Second, during our stay, the living room air conditioner was not working. A floor air conditioner was available and we used it, but temperatures in the main room of the house were 90+ during the day. As much as we went to Fire Island to enjoy the outdoors (and we did!), we also avoided all houses without AC.
On the final day of our stay, the AC repairman came. He shared that they have replaced multiple components of the AC unit over a period of many weeks. The latest replacement failed yet again. An alternative approach would be to recognize that a "top of the line" house needs AC, and to replace it immediately.
The best hosts prioritize hospitality above all else, and in so doing they know that they will be profitable. This house is not "top of the line", and the details I have not mentioned (kitchenware, damaged boogie boards, etc.) further illustrate my point.
