Upon arrival I was a little concerned when we got to the front door and you know what they say about first impressions. The front door looked dirty and numerous dents and it was difficult to open. The house is spacious and it did look like they tried to make some improvements to update it.
This place needs a professional deep cleaning! We went to put out things in the kitchen cabinets and most of the doors and handles were so covered with grease we had to wash them off. We could not entirely get the grease off. They need to be power washed. I went to get the dishes out of the cupboards and after I had taken out several plates realized they were dirty along with bowls as well. This is a three-bedroom house, if you are a family or group that uses the kitchen, there is only a service for 6. You will need to use the dish washer more than once per day. If you plan on cooking, bring your cooking supplies there are no spices or cooing supplies of any kind.
As said above the entire house needs a deep cleaning. The doors and base boards are covered in dirt. In the half bath the base boards are black have not been cleaned for a long time. The washing machine, a front loader, had mold. We cleaned the machine so we could use it.
The back yard is really nice. Has a BBQ so u can cook outdoors. The sliding door to the back yard was covered in dog slobber, really gross. All of the windows and door needed to be cleaned.
The upstairs bathroom shower door has mold and mildew all around the trim on the inside of the door. Since we were here for 6 weeks, we would have thought there would have been adequate cleaning supplies but no mop or kitchen towels. We called the person who was handling the rental and requested the supplies. I must say at first, he was quick to respond and sent us the supplies.
There were also issue with the TV system and we were unable to obtain some of the standard networks and we having trouble navigating the system as well so we call and he responded promptly and walked us through it. We still continued to have the same problem so he had an antenna delivered via Amazon which somewhat helped and told us when it returned back to town in would stop by and check it out. That never happened.
I must say the bed is extremely comfortable so for the most part you can get a good night’s sleep. The dresser in the master bedroom is a joke it looks like they pulled it out of someone’s junk pile the top has stains and scratches all over it. It has snagged numerous shirts of mine because the drawer doesn’t open correctly and catches above on an unfinished edge.
When we rented it, the host did state the pool is not heated. We had asked the person who was handling things numerous times if we paid to have it heated would he be willing to do that. We were told that the reason it was advertised as no heat was that the heater had been broken but now had been repaired and worked. He said that he would turn it on when he came over. This never happened.
This was such a disappointing trip. We were here for six weeks and had planned to have family and friends come and stay even though there was basically 1 bathroom we could still work around it but we were too embarrassed with the condition of things that we decided not to.
I really don’t understand how this could fit it with the standards of an AB&B? I give it 0 stars.
