The surrounding location is a bit of an “eye soar”. But that’s never been a problem for me as long as the home and it’s furnishings are great and it was. The home and bedrooms are exactly as shown.
My issue came upon check in at 3 when the refrigerator wasn’t working. The additional host replied w instructions on how to turn the settings up but it didn’t work. After he spoke w Becky she advised something w regards to the breaker being replaced and may have knocked it out. Regardless nothing worked and our meats purchased spoiled over night. However they did replace w a mini refrigerator the next day after 5pm on Xmas Eve. The only problem was we were out until late (across town at Disney) that evening w plans and had no way of food shopping the next am Xmas day. So once again it was day two of take out which was lots of unnecessary money spent. Not to mention the essentials we had to purchase. Bc the home is equipped w NO forks ONE spoon ONE butter knife FOUR plates THREE mugs and THREE bowls. Which is weird bc we were a party of 6 and the home has an offering of up to 8 guests. This is not an exaggeration either as you will see a previous review states the same. I personally figured bc this is a new host there was some things forgotten and would be implemented ESPECIALLY since I asked based off that review that came AFTER we booked prior to our arrival.
My other issue was an intentional charge for a fire stick remote. For one we never used it as I told Becky on Sunday after check out. Furthermore idk how she can attest that it was in fact there but didn’t see the error on the refrigerator to reflecting it being out. Also to add ABSOLUTELY NO WHERE in her house rules that she sent did it say a charge for said missing item. ONLY keys and late checkout. So the fact that your trying to charge me $20 for a remote that I never saw or used is insane. ESPECIALLY with what I came out of pocket for.. loss of food, unnecessary take out, utensils etc.
So now after I bring these things to her attention she’s wants to reference a smoke smell. In which NO ONE went against her house rules and her cameras can attest. Ive had my share of stays for years and have NEVER gone against a host wishes nor have they ever had a problem w me.
The smoking occurred in areas she allowed. After which upon walking through the home bc that’s the only way to come from said areas. It traveled and only stayed bc we checked out right after and of corse doors. Housekeeping showed up shortly after which was confirmed ALSO by the additional host. After calling bc the driveway gate falls off track.
Overall the experience part of the stay was extremely frustrating however, the actual setting was great.
