I have to be honest...
First, I will say that Gene and Ed are quick to respond with their communication, that was appreciated. The beds were not uncomfortable. The air hockey table was fun.
However, upon walking into the, we were hit with this nasty smell that permeated the entire house and our stomachs turned....the smell was in the linens, the towels. I took me a few days to realize what the smell was. It was SEWAGE! Ed had messaged me not to use flushable wipes as a previous guest had used them and they had caused a problem. That smell HAD to be sewage. They had these gel air fresheners all over that were NOT working! That smell permeated our hair, our clothes, and our bags! When we got home, we had to wash EVERYTHING. We had to Freebreeze our bags and let me air our for days! NASTY!! It's hard to describe just how nasty that smell was...puke.
Also, their house is falsely advertised! This is NOT a four bedroom house! THIS IS A 3 BEDROOM HOUSE! They put a curtain rod in the front room, with curtains that are too short and called it a 4th bedroom. Ah, NO! So, whoever stays in that room is subject to all the noise from everything going on in the living room, kitchen, etc. Advertise your house correctly!
Third, They do not allow you turn the a/c below 73. Not a problem during the day, however, like many people we like the air low at night to sleep comfortably. So, the house was hot and we all slept poorly, which caused all of us to be tired during the day and our vacation plans stifled-we did not have a good time. Due to us being tired, we actually canceled plans one day and just came back to the house to nap, what a waste of our time.
Also, this was not a clean house! My husband pulled a big glob of brown hair from the master bathroom shower drain (I am blonde)! Gross!! I sat on the floor (on a towel) to do my makeup, and there was lots of brown hair on the floor with tons dust bunnies, a HUGE dust bunny on the side of the bed (like the size of my hand!), the floor boards were filthy (I took pics). I don't know who paid for the last cleaning, but you got ripped off! The kitchen sink was slimy with food.
This house touts it's gourmet kitchen with all the "basic essentials" that you will need. Yet, it did not have a basic coffee maker or toaster. Not even a cookie sheet so that you can use the oven. We just stayed at a hotel just before this house and it even had a coffee maker and toaster, so I'm confident that a coffee maker and toaster are pretty "basic" and should be included in a gourmet kitchen that touts "basic essentials provided."
All in all, we are super unhappy with our stay here. We wanted so badly to be happy as online the house looks great, with everything we needed it to be. But, false advertising and the smell of sewage permeating this house will surely ruin a vacation.
