While this home has potential, it is not near the quality depicted in the photos and we were disappointment when we arrived for our one-week stay July 29 – Aug 5, 2019. And even though the host, Shawn, is nice and very responsive, I cannot honestly rate this property with the 5 stars he kept asking me to give him on this review. Inside, the property has been updated as shown, and was generally clean, but a deep cleaning is needed, wiping down walls, perhaps repainting some, cleaning the door jams of the exterior doors etc. And setting each room up with a lamp and some basic décor. Some new linens are needed for some of the beds. There are only two lamps in the entire home. The security of the property is a concern. The dead bolt on the main door works fine, but the door handle was extremely loose. We had to purchase wood sticks to secure the two sliding door jams as one of the doors did not lock properly and the screen doors were ripped making it look very shabby. The pool could be this home’s main feature – it is big and was a great place to swim and had some furniture as shown. But the diving board has been removed and the set up was stark. There is cement and dirt, no landscaping. It looks horrible and not someplace you’d like to spend relaxing. The water drainpipe from the rooftop AC unit drips right in the seating area and created a dirty puddle. Furthermore, various weightlifting equipment and miscellaneous junk is piled in the patio area - very unsightly. The other side has a bunch of construction materials with a plywood board leaned against the gap to try to block if from view. NOTE: the host is remodeling the garage into a second separate unit and he was staying there in part while we were staying in the home. We settled in for the week and dealt with it because we had already paid and were in the area to visit family. Our final day, was marred by the AC going out. Shawn tried to trouble shoot on it for a few hours and said he couldn’t get a repair person until the next day because it was Sunday. He should have called right away. He brought us a free-standing AC unit to cool the living room area. We had to move mattresses out there for our last night; the windows do not have any screens so we couldn’t open them when it cooled off. Shawn did refund us some money for the inconvenience. We shared suggestions with Shawn on getting this property to the level most would expect in a vacation rental. I really think he should take it off the market to get it fixed up so that others are not disappointed. I question the validity of some of the other reviews on this home and I don’t think this should have Superhost status.
