This house was set up well for our family. We enjoyed the split floor plan and big primary bathroom. It was weird that much of the house felt super clean, even new, but some things, particularly the floors, were so dirty that I didn’t want to let our kids play on the floor or walk around barefoot. I wore socks when I’m the house and they were so dirty that I’d change them before putting my sneakers on. The check-in process of having to message them with a selfie after 4pm in front of the house was annoying… we waited 10–15 minutes for a reply, which isn’t terribly long, but with two tired kids and a 4pm check-in, it just seemed like an unnecessarily inconvenient process that I’ve never had to do before.
I know it’s tough managing properties and people often only share negative feedback, but as a guest, it really stinks when your expectations don’t align with reality. I’d probably book this house again, but I’d definitely be communicating in advance with the owner/managers about cleaning and check-in.
