We were looking forward to our stay on this property but in the end it fell short for many reasons. If I could upload pictures on here I would, to show everyone many of the issues/concerns we had. Although the property owner did reach out about how our stay was going, these are issues that most likely would not have been able to be resolved within the timeframe of our stay, so we did not mention them.
1. Overall, the property had a lot of dirt/dust and spiderwebs in multiple locations including windowsills and fans. Its obvious that only minimal areas are cleaned prior to renters arriving (counters, sheets, floors, etc). They also need to make sure regular maintenance/cleaning(blinds, baseboards, fans, etc) is done to provide a cleaner feel in the home.
2. The baseboards had dirty splashes all over them. I would understand a bit of dirt, but these were gross splashes and clearly had not been cleaned in a long time.
3. There was garbage already in several of the cans inside the house when we arrived, even though he expects the guests to empty them upon their departure.
4. There was no handle on the dryer.
5. The coffee maker was unusable because it was rusted in several areas including buttons and inside of the pot.
6. There were no batteries in the remote for the tv outside.
7. One of the adirondack chairs in the backyard was broken, so we were missing a seat for someone.
8. The whole house has a strong pet odor in it. Was really gross to not have it smelling clean.
9. The pool table pockets were all ripped so the balls would keep flying out the bottom while playing. They could at least do a temporary fix on it, not saying a whole new table.
10. The toilet seat in the hallway bathroom was broken/swiveling and wasnt even the correct size for the toilet. It was larger than the bowl.
11. Wifi didnt work across the house so the kids were unable to play their video games and phones didnt have connection via wi-fi
We would not stay here again and feel that the house is overpriced for what it is. The owner was also overly communicative about the house rules. Within the messages, he reached out 3 different times about no noise after 9pm, 2 different times about putting out the garbage cans on Sunday and 2 different times about check out time. All of this information was in the house manual that he provides after booking the property and has a print out version in the property so this felt very excessive and annoying. We would not stay here again.
