For $2000 for 3 nights, we expect a clean environment.
This house was filthy! The kitchen counters were dirty, there were splashes of pink liquid on the backsplash and walls, the stair handrail was gray from dirt, there were splatters of something on the wall going up the stairs, the couch in the master had stains on it and the carpets were GROSS. I had to spend hours of my vacation wiping down the disgusting house and I also washed the sheets since I couldn’t trust that they were clean. There was also COOKED CHICKEN IN THE OVEN! We had to pay a $285 cleaning fee! For what? Now, on to the backyard. I understand that the grill was our responsibility (per your rental agreement), but that was really dirty also, and we had to buy propane and a lighter because the grill does not ignite. One of the lounge chair cushions was in the bushes on the other side of the pool, and the most disgusting part of it all was there was a pair of DIRTY UNDERWEAR outside by the grill. The hot tub doesn’t heat up. It is the same temperature as the pool. This was not a comfortable place to stay at all and there’s no way I would recommend it to anybody.
Here are some recommendations for Jason and Kevin:
Hire a new cleaning lady, or at least INSPECT WHAT YOU EXPECT.
Clean the nasty carpets, including the area rug in the front room.
Turn the thermostat on to a reasonable temperature when you are expecting guests at your home.
Replace the broken vertical blinds in the kitchen. The Western sunlight/heat exposure is unbearable.
Invest in some new towels and washcloths.
Repair/replace the towel bar in the upstairs bathroom.
Spend $100 a year on propane so your guests don’t have to.
On the bright side, we had a great family reunion...in spite of the accommodations.
