“Outdoor Dining Area” "Outdoor Patio Furniture" (listed as an amenity):
The rental provided one table and one chair only (see photo). When questioned about this the host told us to haul the indoor dining room table and cloth chairs outside if we wanted outdoor dining.
“Covered patio area perfect for entertaining”
No seating whatsoever was provided in the covered patio area. Note: there is a separate "Entertainment Room" with a pool table that had a couch... however the covered outdoor grill area that is the covered patio has a spacious counter area for food serving. But we had to stand around the counter because there was nowhere to sit.
Online Photos showing lamps in Sitting Room
Not there. Host said they were ALL broken by a previous guest and taken away for repair. The only option for lighting in the living room is bright overhead can lights. Some beds had a nightstand and lamp on just one side of the queen or full sized bed.
Kitchen supplies for cooking
No big bowls for either serving or mixing. Only cereal sized bowls from a place setting and large disposable aluminum baking pans. No kitchen towels. A bare minimum supplies for cooking.
Host did not appear aware of specifics at the house. Salt, pepper and cooking oil listed as amenities were not there, when questioned he said they were with the other spices. There were no spices or cooking basics whatsoever at the house. They host did provide salt, pepper and oil upon request. We felt there should have been pool towels as the indoor bath towels were very thin. The host did provide extra bath towels upon request but again, he did not seem aware of what was available to the guests. He stated that the extra towels were in the closet but that was not the case.
Other things for guests to be aware of:
This house is described as “Unique”. It is definitely weird. It appears modified to maximize bed availability. The layout is not ideal, particularly if you are friends or acquaintances rather than family. This is because the full bath outside of the master suite is directly adjacent to the master bedroom...and the door is not very sound-proof. The amenities list 3 full baths... this is not accurate. It is 2-1/2 baths as the downstairs bath is a toilet only. And the light switches are in odd places. you have to navigate to the back of a dark kitchen to find the one light switch.
Many accommodations provide a book or information sheets about things like recycling or nearby attractions or restaurants etc. There was no guidance provided.
