Good location, but repairs and upgrades desperately needed
This home has some good waterfront features as there is a long seawall and it’s just off Collier Bay with dolphins. I was advised in advance a portion of the dock had hurricane damage that was not repaired, but was told there was enough remaining undamaged dock for dockage and fishing. This turned out to be true, but the damaged portion of the dock is a mess which poses a safety issue. If anyone was to fall off the seawall near the damaged dock, there are exposed nails, screws, broken wood, and other debris in and out of the water that could cause serious injury. The owner should not rent this house again until the dock is repaired. As for the house itself, it is pretty run down as anticipated (worn out furniture, cracked mirror, significant carpet stains, tiny ants throughout the master bath that got into all our stuff, a lizard in the master bedroom, and sliding glass doors that need to be replaced as the old wheels constantly came of the tracks, and in any event, one or more could not be secured which caused us concern for our valuables). The air conditioning system is inadequate on hot days which the owner acknowledged when I brought it to his attention. The jacuzzi was also broken. The owner, Jim, was responsive to my calls and had folks come to address some of the issues. I just think he needs to invest some money to get the house up to a better standard. If Jim fixes the dock and makes necessary house repairs and upgrades, I would consider renting again.
