This “retro” house misses the mark and just feels outdated and somewhat abandoned. We rented this place specifically because of their pet policy, which is great. Though the ad leaves out some crucial information:
-Property is not fenced off! Just has a fence up in front for the street.
-1st master missing ceiling fan light cover and chain to control light.
-Cigarette butts on ground outside back door when we arrived, and in general the rest of the property looked condemned or like it should be.
-Hot tub dirty upon arrival and chemicals were so off that it had a pond like oder. Of course there were no chemicals left around to fix the issue, also the hot tub and hot tub cover lift had broken/missing pieces.
-Property has a separate upstairs rental so is not an actual “entire residential home”. And you can hear. Every. Single. Footstep. Especially at 2 am.
-Guest bath vanity has front piece missing.
-Back guest bed has ceiling tiles loose/falling down.
-Dryer barely works, problem with the “door closed” contact. You have to lift up the door and simultaneously press start, this wasn’t information provided. We only learned how to work the dryer after having to reach out to the host.
-Holes and cracks in the drywall throughout rental.
-Entire kitchen drawer missing.
-Most of the “retro” furniture is just old and broken.
-Smoke detector in hallway cupboard and MISSING a battery.
-All windows were SCREWED SHUT, and could not be opened in case of emergency.
-Water pressure is abysmal, it’s like trying to shower in a bird bath. Both showers look great in pictures but in reality are terrible.
I’m sure there is plenty more that was broken or missing that we overlooked. Overall the only redeeming quality of this rental is its location. Which is sad because it could truly be an amazing property.
