This home was nice enough although it has some issues. The owner, however, was not so nice. He has falsely accused my family of trashing the rental; Each of his particulars is either not true, a result of his own issues or of such insignificance that to complain about it is laughable. If you stay here, be sure to take pictures when you come and leave to protect yourself.
The house is well located and has a nice layout. Concerns
-Outside: the outside grill was crusty inside and out; we ended up not using it. Small pool was nice. Driveway is narrow.
-Inside: No broom or vacuum. We asked for a broom and one was provided but no dust pan.
- Eating porch: Chipped paint, dirty window ledges and surfaces; rotten section on porch rug.
- Bathroom: Only one small towel rack in the master bathroom. Plenty of towels but no place to hang them. The toilet paper was as thin as could be - like something you would find in a porta-potty.
-Kitchen: the ice maker only worked sporadically; The tap water was undrinkable, and I am by no means a water snob. Owner claimed pots/pans weren’t clean but they had been washed in his dishwasher and we had scrubbed them before use because of spots; Insufficient trash bags; dirty cabinet fronts. They did give us some wonderful avocados.
- Lots of lights but I couldn’t find a light bright enough to read from at night. I had to find a bulb and substitute it for the bedside lamp so I could read.
Edward insulted me and my family in a follow up phone call after our stay. He was somewhat incoherent and raging. We tried to discuss particulars - dishes/pots etc had all been run thru the dishwasher; most of the tables, counters and sinks had been wiped down with the glass cleaner from the house; left sweeping/vacuuming to the cleaners he said were coming as we had no tools. Bedskirt that was slightly torn when we arrived was blamed on us. We were shocked at his reaction and claims. We did not mistreat this house. We have stayed at other rentals and always had good reviews.
We also suggest the owner update the info booklet that we found in a drawer under some placemats toward the end of our stay. Having this on the counter to help incoming guests would be useful.
