We really appreciated being able to check-in early to the house. The communication with Laura was pleasant and smooth. We enjoyed sitting on the spacious deck. The house had million-dollar views and proximity to many great places! The exterior and grounds are in great shape.
The furnishings and kitchen appliances were in good shape and there were plenty of dishes. The water in the bathrooms was hot and had good pressure. The washer and dryer unit were in good repair.

Unfortunately, the house itself was shabby with many problems. Interior and exterior doors, screens, floors, and windows needed repair/replacing. The walls needed fresh paint. Base trim along floor, windowsills, and shutters were grimy.
In the kitchen, electrical outlet wires were exposed above the kitchen counter island. The kitchen cabinet doors and drawers were in very bad condition and looked original to the house. The dishwasher was hard to use because the DW door was in front of the sink and broken. The kitchen sink had almost no water pressure, so it was very hard to hand wash dishes. There was very little counter space, which made cooking difficult.
The two bathrooms were tiny, in poor condition, and had very little shelving or counter space. The showers were incredibly small and required that you step down about 16 inches. We are slim and it felt cramped in the showers. The size of the showers may be detailed in the house description but mentioning it in case it is overlooked. The shower doors had mildew along the bottom of the door.
Without AC, inside doors and windows had to be left open in all the rooms and the outdoor slider needed to be open at night for air flow. Sprinklers were very loud and ran for hours the day we left. This may not have been an issue if we could have closed the windows.
The murphy bunk beds were in good shape; however the bedroom ceiling fan is located slightly above the top bunk and the top bunk ladder. This was a huge hazard. As a result, the top bunk could not be used on hot evenings requiring the fan.
The front bedroom had two closets but no dresser. The second bedroom has no dresser or closets. Hard to organize and store belongings.
We recognize that some people will not care about these things. My family has stayed in many home rentals we would have liked to gather this information in a review of this property.
