The owner, Phil, is very friendly, kind, and accommodating, and this home has a lot of potential. It felt more like staying at a relative's house instead of a well kept vacation home. There is a beautiful view and it is located in a quiet beautiful neighborhood with convenient access to downtown. However, we were surprised to find it in a state of disrepair with a leaking toilet, broken door handles, missing light fixtures, etc. A lot of routine maintenance has not been done, and parts of the home are literally falling apart. The kitchen was also fairly cluttered, dusty, and we found some rotten bandanas in the fridge, and broken glass on the floor when we arrived. At night the sugar ants came out across the counter tops. It therefore didn't meet our expectations as a vacation rental, but did serve as a place to sleep our large group of two families. Our kids loved all of the stuffed animals that were in abundance in one of the rooms.
