This property has the potential to be 5 star. I’d rate outside a 5 and inside a 2. We were asked to leave 5 star reviews about the house by Austin vacay and if we were not happy with something let them know so they can make it right. We let Austin Vacay know about the cleanliness issues and all they did was so sorry, we will speak to our cleaners - that doesn’t make anything right for us and our stay.
The most important things that we look for in an Airbnb is cleanliness and comfortable beds. This house is clean in the way your son cleans up before you visit. On the surface things are clean, but peak at a cupboard, shelf, windowsill etc. and you realise the house is filthy. As an asthmatic, the dust was the worst. Every time a curtain is moved, pillow or blanket is moved, so much dust can be seen in the air. You can tell the place isn’t thoroughly cleaned, there was hair stuck to the walls and in the fridge, food and spilled drinks down the cupboard door fronts (and inside) and empty toilet rolls on the floor beside the toilet.
The air conditioning is great except for in the bedrooms. It is a sauna in 2 of the 3 rooms. Be prepared to sweat (one of the hot bedrooms has a standing fan in recognition of this fact - the other does not).
The beds are ok - better in the two rooms than the master. Pillows are either too soft or too high/hard (no medium options) and bedding below average.
The backyard and pool are amazing and the best part of this house. The kids loved it, so did we. Strangely, there are no pool towels. You’ll be using your bathroom towel to dry off. There could be more lawn/pool furniture to lounge around in given the number of guests this property supports and the size of the yard.
Finally, the property backs on to SR2222. You can’t hear it inside when it’s daytime or noisey, but you can hear it when you’re trying to sleep in the master. Just be aware if it’s the sort of thing that bothers you.
