Stayed here for five days and thought the pictures looked way better on the listing than in real life. We walked in and were disappointed with so many little things broken (door locks, toilet paper roll holders, one oven broken, stove knobs missing, broken lights, etc.) The place also wasn’t the cleanest, despite claims it would be cleaned by a professional crew. I found hair in the dining room and in bathrooms and found tabletops in both the living room and kitchen with stains and marks that were easily removed by wiping it down. Good thing I brought my own Clorox and Lysol cleaning supplies. There were stains on the rug and broken light fixtures and trash in the backyard. A bunch of leaves in the pool too so we had to scrape those out. My son tried to take a shower and pulled the handle to turn on the water and the handle broke off. It was clearly already broken and when we told the owner he offered to send someone to fix it the next day. Being in a COVID pandemic, I declined and he credited me what he thought was worth losing one bathroom for the week (but to me it was almost insulting). We paid for three full baths and ended up with only two working showers for the week.
Amenities and supplies were lacking. There were no paper towels in the kitchen and I had to ask the host about it. He told me where to find it. No detergent for the washing machine (even though I was told there would be some before I arrived) so I had to go buy my own because the owner said it would take 3-4 days to deliver it. No matches or lighter for the fire pit #smoresfail. We were told we would get two coconut waters in the fridge... again, nothing. Total disappointment.
The cooking supplies were awful. Cooking pans were old and handles loose, baking pans were as rusted as can be and of course there was no foil to cover them so I went to buy my own. My plans of cooking and grilling meals all week quickly went away.
The corn hole in the backyard was super old and dirty that even the kids didn’t want to play with it. The only saving grace was the kids enjoyed the pool in the 110 heat. Note that the pool is NOT heated so you have to rely on the sun to warm it up. There’s also a pool guy that comes once a week but the owner just tells you when and nothing more than that.
Overall the house has so much potential and I’m sure was awesome at some point. We made the most of it and still had a good time. It only takes a few adjustments to make it amazing again and I hope this review doesn’t keep anyone from renting the place, but allows you to rent this house eyes wide open.
