While the house was very spacious my biggest concern were ants. I found several places in the bathroom and in the kitchen including the counter tops in which there were trails of ants. I was not happy about this - the whole point of me renting a house was so that we could cook and stay in rather than eat out. Major downfall. My family was expecting a newly renovated home as well. The home looked a little older and had a stale smell. We also didn't feel very comfortable with the backyard setting- I felt like we were looking directly in the back of someone's home and there was a cat in the yard the entire time so I definitely didn't feel comfortable allowing my daughter to run around freely. The bath tub was stained and had brownish marks in it . Overall I will absolutely admit that I was expecting something different. The neighbor John was very pleasant. We couldn't get ahold of the home owner at all on our stay to try to get some of our concerns addressed because he went somewhere without reception but i didn't learn about this until I met John. I was a bit sad, my family didn't seem to feel as comfortable as they would have at a hotel so I will have to do a lot more research should I decide to rent another home for a vacation. I was reluctant to be honest because I am beyond appreciative for the owner inviting myself and my family into his home and privacy but at the end of the day I was not happy about the fact that I spent over $600 and everyone else would have been more happy elsewhere.
