Anchor Down Vacation Rentals

“Beautiful house, need better cleaning”

“The location is excellent. There were stains on the pull out couch mattresses. the walls had some noticeable stains and the kitchen counters had debris along the edges. These are not deal breakers but should be addressed. on our first day we did notice condom wrappers and cigarette butts on the pool deck. Otherwise we really like the place and enjoyed our stay.”

“This place has a great location but it’s quite small only one couch. Also not cleaned very well”

“Stayed at this spacious place while in town to visit some family. Great location, clean, and great views of the bay. Will absolutely be booking again!”

“There are many positive things about this home. It is a very nice home located within walking distance of AMI (about .75 miles to beach). The community is nice, quite and has good access to the water. The house was clean and neat and had everything we needed. The dock is very convenient if you have a boat and there is a ramp in the community to launch although the ramp had a big drop off at at the end. Overall it was a good place. On the downside, it's managed by a management company which meant fees for early check-in, unclear fees related to pool heat and somewhat slow response (about 8 hours) for a simple flipped breaker (electric panel was in a locked closet). The community is advertised as a boating community which is certainly is however the only place that trailers are allowed to be parked is in the garage. Boats on trailers are not allowed to be parked anywhere in the community so boats need to be launched immediately upon arrival and retrieved just before departure.”

“DO NOT BOOK! Wish I could upload pictures. Only good things are the pool and beach supplies provided. Upon arrival, the floors were filthy, shower loofa left by previous people, mold all over shower curtain, and large hole in the master bedroom mattress with a sharp metal spring sticking out. Contacted host in the morning and was able to get a mop and shower curtain dropped off. Same day 4 LARGE COCKROACHES found. Ceiling panel hanging down in bathroom. Messaged host again and was offered for people to come and spray for bugs. 19 weeks pregnant and had a toddler with us. 100% not comfortable with pesticides being sprayed or people having to come into our place several times with all of our stuff there. Small refund asked for so we could book another place, host denied and he insisted they can come and spray. after involving Airbnb support Rico (host) still only offered to come spray at 5pm, night before we left. Last 2 days no hot water either. Spent the whole trip dealing with host.”

“We have stayed for 5 days. Location is good close to stores, restaurants and beaches. Neighborhood is quiet. The house needs renovation to be done: some walls, outlets are showing worn.Grill grates needs to be replaced - it was so bad that we didn’t want to use it without foil trays. The floor was dirty like no one never cleaned it.Socks were dirty after walking for couple minutes. In our first day, we saw that the sink is leaking and I texted,then called the management right away. It was Sat around 3-3:30pm. They said that they received request and working on it. At 5 pm office was closed and no one replied back to any of my messages. After-hours, busy, leave a VM. They sent a guy to repair the sink next day / his window was 3-4pm - and they let us know at 2:55 pm. I would say that was inappropriate and shortsighted. Another problem that we had no WIFI for 3days. The network wasn’t in the list. After texting for multiple times - management kept sending me wrong network and password.”

“Pros: quiet gated community, easy check in and the unit was very clean. Stocked kitchen, plenty of beach towels and nice details like throw blankets for the couch. Comfy furniture made it easy to enjoy the screened patio in the evenings. Fantastic community pool, Publix and Aldi right down the street plus an endless amount of restaurants. Cons: as others have mentioned, this unit is run by a management company that has 75+ other units & they require a ridiculous amount of paperwork. Also, endless texts/messages trying to sell you early check in, late check out, an extra day, etc. These messages come from various people/phone numbers, it's difficult to keep track of who you're speaking with. Also: wasp nests at both the front & back doors, extra pillows in the main closet were visibly dirty, NONE of the battery operated candles work (found this out during a power outage.) You can't turn the thermostat below 72. Ever. And the list of check out chores is the longest I've ever received.”

“Property was not as expected. We arrived to a dirty home with a cockroach inside and a strong bug spray smell. During the stay, multiple family members developed bites on their arms and legs consistent with bed bug bites, and my son developed a rash. The situation worsened and we had to seek urgent care. Because of the health concerns, we were forced to leave early and pay for alternate lodging ourselves. We reported the issues but did not receive meaningful help resolving them. This was a stressful and costly experience for my family, and I would not stay here again.”

“The pool photo in the listing looks beautiful and big. The pool itself in real life maybe would fit 4 small kids comfortably and was dirty. It is shared through 5 apartments as well. There was also a musty smell upon entering and mold found in windowsills. Cooler was missing on day 1 but the host brought a new one right away.”
