Excellent stay!

House was so cute! It was clean, cool and had everything we needed. We rent several places in the summer and this is on the top of our list. If it is available in the future I will be booking it again.

Good vacation spot for the family.

This house was very nice for a week long stay. It was clean and just about everything you need for a household is there. The shower spigot was broken and spraying water when we got there but, one phone call and a few minutes later someone was there and it was fixed quickly. The stickers in the grass in some areas of the yard were bad. I would not recommend bare footing in the yard. Use of the lift would be nice. My mom and aunt who are in there 70s really could have used it. Hauling stuff up and down stairs is quite a pain but that comes with renting a elevated house. All in all this was a good experience and we would rent this house again.

Not a comfortable stay.

Issue from beginning air conditioner broken., refrigerator temperature was set very low took 24 to finally cool. Dirty pots I couldn’t clean and had to purchase to cook. One of the beds the foot broke. Some of the Furniture was not comfortable . The smell of Clorox was very strong as we walked in. Supposedly the house had just been cleaned before I arrived but it did not feel clean . Also if housekeeping had cleaned why did they not report air conditioner being broken. The temperature inside was 84 degree. The refrigerator was set 4 why would housekeeping leave at that stage if normal should be 5 and stayed that it would take 24 hours to cool . If rental office knew house was going to be used why would it not ready.
