You Get What You Pay For

So when you get an awesome deal on a beach house directly on Folly Beach in Charleston for a whole month, you get what you pay for!  It’s not quite the beach resort I was hoping for, but at least it can’t get any closer to the beach.  The realtor sent us a couple photos beforehand that were so tiny you couldn’t really see anything.  After “seeing” these photos, we figured it wouldn’t be the Ritz.  Now that we are here, I see why she didn’t send us photos we could actually see.  We have to be extra careful in the bathroom so as not to flood the apartment below us.  According to the post-it notes all over the bathroom, if we move the rugs, or if we turn the shower on too high, we will flood them.  I’m a little nervous each time I step out of the shower that I may just fall through the soggy floor into another apartment!  The realtor mentioned something about the inside being updated, but I can’t see anything that looks like its been updated since 1982.  I think the icing on the cake is the really old peeling wallpaper that is “updated” with scotch tape to hold it on the wall.  I’m not even joking here.  Oh well, the beach is definitely the bright side of this situation and being in Charleston is going to be a lot of fun.
