My family and I stayed in this home for a week and overall had a great experience. Brampton Park was very accommodating and on top of communication, which I really appreciated. There were some pros and cons, which I will include below..
PROS
* As I mentioned, Brampton Park was a great host company. They even made sure to leave things like milk and water in the fridge for our arrival.
* House was very clean. I’m a major clean freak, and I was satisfied with the cleanliness.
* Location was convenient. Cute little neighborhood, nice neighbors, very close to anything you could possibly need..Target, Dunkin, Grocery stores, highways, etc.
CONS
* The listing stated that there was a crib available, but it turns out they rent one through a local company called Family Rentals. This company is extremely outdated, one look at their website says it all. The crib was pretty gross and beat up, the mattress was even worse; dirty and disgusting with holes. They expect you to leave it in a zip tied plastic bag WHILE using it. We thought this was ridiculous and would never ever let our son sleep on something so filthy. We ended up buying our own mattress and leaving it there since we didn’t have time to return it. Guess the next person with kids will be a bit luckier thanks to us.
* The quality of the home was pretty bad in some areas. It’s clear that this was an investment property with very quick updates made. The doors were flimsy and paper thin; this is a problem if you have small kids who go to sleep early and are concerned about noise. We basically had to stay in the bedroom with the door closed at night or outside to make sure not to wake our child in the next room. The closet doors were so flimsy they fell off the track if you’d even touch them.
* There were no window coverings on one of the back patio doors and windows. This may not be a big issue for some people, but I felt uneasy at night in an unfamiliar area with no coverings on windows.
* The yard was great, but since this house likely appeals to families with kids due to the pool and big swing set, it would’ve been best to have a fence around the pool for safety reasons.
* Our arrival flight was cancelled due to weather and we weren’t able to get another flight to Florida until the next day. The owner would not refund us for 1 night, which I thought was super insensitive since we were already staying for an additional 7 and there is a 5 or 7 night minimum on the house anyway. It’s not like someone else could’ve booked it in the meantime. Regardless of their ‘policy’, this was out of our control and could’ve benefited from some basic human understanding.
Overall great stay and would definitely rent through Brampton Park again.
