We stayed at Poseidon for 4 nights in October. The house looks beautiful from the photos, however, looks can be deceiving. The positives of this house were the flexibility and communication with the owner. We were technically over the guest count, however, we were traveling with infants and toddlers and his property manager okay'd that and gave us an additional vehicle pass. The splash pad and pool were within walking distance and well maintained, although the Bar and Grill area was closed (for reasons unknown).
Upon check-in, we discovered (cigarette) ashes in the kitchen sink and a full load of clean dishes in the dishwasher. The house itself appears very unfinished. For example - drywall patches in the downstairs gameroom, a hole in the wall by the wine refrigerator upstairs, no curtains or blinds in the main living area by the kitchen (which made that room very hot and bright at all times, and impossible to enjoy the beautiful view). The stairs themselves are incredibly steep and made of stone. I do not recommend this property if you're staying with children. One of the adults in our party tripped down the stairs carrying bed linens to the washing machine and ended up in the Palm Coast emergency room with an ankle injury. In addition, the property does not supply basic essentials like salt and pepper, laundry detergent, hand soap, garbage bags, or dish detergent, but does require you to use your own dish and laundry detergent to complete their checkout list. The beach access to the property was closed and the next beach access was about a third of a mile away, which wasn't an easy walk with kids. This could have been in part due to Hurricane Ian that recently passed through, but it would have been appreciated if that was communicated with us, as it may have affected where we stayed. The main floor AC wasn't working the entire stay, but we attributed it to the lack of blinds with the many windows upstairs. It was about 76 degrees on the main floor the first two days, and 80 degrees the last two. It was very uncomfortable. We made contact with the host on our last night, and he was responsive and polite, and had an A/C company out the next morning, but we were already checking out. Overall, we made the best of our stay, as we are a very resourceful group and look for the positives in any situation. Due to everything listed above, and the price per night it costed to stay, it was not a good fit for our party and we would not stay here again.
