Bonita Vista: 3 BR, 2 BA House in Gilchrist, Sleeps 13

Even though there are some upgrades that need to be dome ( it is for sale though) we had a very good time. The house was located right on the beach and was clean and quiet. Wish it had WiFi but other than that, five stars!!!

To access the house you have to drive over 8 miles away to get key and return the key. They do not provide paper towels or toilet paper. House was super dirty and had an awful smell. They did send someone over to try and clean that helped a little with the smell. Had to buy candles and room spray to be inside. Mattress covers, pillows, and comforters were stained and almost unusable. Spent half the time there washing the blankets. Charge of 125 plus tax for linens and towels! Not even a kitchen or bathroom hand towel provided.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was large and very comfortable. Lots of space on the decks with large captain chairs on the top deck with greats views of ocean and bay. Everything worked well in the unit and great spot for large families and friends. Definitely would book unit again.

Reviewer Comments: GREAT LOCATION, HOUSE NEEDS ATTENTION, MOLD IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM, NEEDS EXTERMINATED ROACHES, RENTAL WAS NOT CLEAN VERY DISAPPOINTING MATTRESS PROTECTORS NEED TO BE THROWN AWAY , BLANKETS ARE DIRTY

We really enjoyed our stay here! There is a whole second deck I wish we were prepared to use. The kids enjoyed the loft space upstairs. You cannot beat the beach access and location. We were able to grab food, get souvenirs and hit the candy shop all within a quick drive. Not a modern vibe, very homey and dated but we didn't mind that. If you want to be right at the beach for a good value, this is a great option.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and views for this rental are amazing. They have the most unbelievable views, and the staff at Swedes was great as always. The owner double booked so that was awkward when a family showed up and told us we needed to leave. Swedes handled everything though. I was a little nervous knowing that other people had the key to a house we were staying in for days though. The house needs a very deep cleaning. My grandson was covered in white hairs the entire trip. The furniture feels dirty, in fact my son broke out in hives when he sat on it. The footstools are hard to open and then will just pop open unexpectedly too. We covered all of the furniture with sheets so we could sit on them, the white sheets came up brown when uncovering them.The flooring is borderline dangerous for baby’s/toddlers because there are big gaps in it.The vacuum does not hardly work, and the air vents drip water onto the couch. The house needs a major update.I really loved the location and just wish the house didn’t feel so dirty. When you spend the kind of money you spend on these rentals you expect a clean house and floors that are not separating at the very least. Do not rent if you have a young child or you need a comfortable bed to sleep. All beds are extremely uncomfortable. There are also mouse traps under the beds and we found mouse poop on the stair to the loft.Also if you want deck gates don’t rent this place. Even though the pictures show them the top one does not latch and the second deck does not have one at all. I will not rent this house ever again, sucks since the location and views are so great. I really feel I deserve a partial refund for this house because it was not worth what we paid at all since you could not relax inside.

Reviewer Comments: We visit the peninsula 3-5 times a year.. we have stayed in several beach houses on the beach and on the Bay.. the location and the views of Bonita Vista were magnificent!! Literally 10 feet from the beach!! The home does need some serious TLC.. a deep clean, there was a strong smell of mold in the master bedroom.. we could not use it.. but overall we were happy and would stay again.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our beach house rental was mistakenly given to another family. We had 2 options, cancel our rental or stay at theirs. Management could have cared less, maintenance guy was frantically trying to sort out mix up. At check out I explained AGAIN what happened and I was promised a call from management.... still waiting.
