A group of 9 of us (4 adults and 5 children ages 5 and under) stayed at Ken’s house for 2 weeks over the 4th of July. The house suited all of us and had plenty of space. It’s well kept but pretty outdated. The pool could use an upgrade as the outer border is metal which was wobbly and scratchy when our children tried to climb out. He did not have any chaise lounges or umbrellas anywhere on the property to offer shade.
We did have issues with the host, Ken, and would not stay at any of his places in the future. We had to maintain the pool while we stayed there and he was continually texting us to remind us to check the filters and water levels, which we did on his behalf and did not need the constant reminders. He again texted he needed to mow the property over the 4th of July weekend. We told him the lawn looked fine and to please hold off until we left the following week to respect the time our family was seeking on vacation. He insisted the lawn had to be mowed that weekend and he would do it on Sunday. Instead he showed up unannounced on Saturday the 4th and began mowing from 11am-2pm. We had to keep our children indoors to make sure they did not get in his way which was not only a huge nuisance but very disrespectful of our request and time and not something that was clarified as a requirement before we booked.
