Overall a nice stay at this property, with a few flaws…
Pros:
Very large home with lots of storage space and a large kitchen, with ample outdoor space for the kids to play.
Quiet neighbourhood within driving distance of most things.
Nice comfortable beds and pillows.
Cons:
The dishwasher in the kitchen didn’t work properly, after the first day the water wasn’t draining away, so we stopped using it and just hand washed everything.
The property needs a DEEP clean. When we arrived the cleaners had cleaned everything to a good standard but upon closer inspection there was a lot of dust under beds, sofas, cabinets, skirting boards etc and when you stand upstairs and looked down into the kitchen, the amount of dust on top of the kitchen cabinets is bad.
The fridge and the oven were filthy!!!! They both need a deep clean.
The bath in the master bedroom hadn’t been cleaned properly either, there was still hair around the edges.
There is only one wine glass in the cupboard. They need to buy some more.
The outdoor sofa cushions and seat pads were so filthy! Really not inviting to sit on, they either need to be washed or replaced.
The games in the living room cupboard were all jumbled up and unorganised, just not very thoughtful when guests arrived, it would have been nice if they had all been sorted though again before our arrival.
I really do think this property needs to have a highchair, and pack n play stored away in a cupboard somewhere. It would have been so helpful, and I know for a fact families would opt to rent this place more if they had those things available to them.
I had to rent them from another company and it was such a hassle having to do that.
Also - curtains. They’re so thin! Some thicker curtains/ black out blinds would have been a nice touch. One of the windows in the master doesn’t even have a curtain on it at all, not so great with the sun shining through early morning.
Overall though we were happy there, and we did have a great stay albeit all the issues above, we loved how big the house was, the kitchen was lovely, the large yard for the kids to run around in and the decor inside was nice.
Just needs a better deep clean and it would have had 5 star review from us!
