The house was definitely as described! It was a nice neighborhood and area. The internet did great for all the people we had connected to the wifi. Awesome washer and dryers, big and fast. The owner was very responsive to all of our inquiries throughout the stay.
The downside. We had to wait [outside] past our check-in time to get into the house because they were still cleaning, yet the house was not thoroughly cleaned. At first glance, it was not bad, but after being in it for a few hours, we realized the floor was very dirty (not visibly, but if you didn't have shoes on... ew). There were other areas in the house that could have been cleaner as well. I think they need a new cleaning crew.
Speaking of the cleaning crew, they locked the door with the mop inside (we assume) and possibly other cleaning products, so we had to buy one. We also didn't have access to the garage, which would have been nice. There is parking around the lake, however. There is a trash holder in the front of the house that was overflowing when we checked in and not cleared out right away -- again, the cleaning crew.
There were areas in the house that weren't working, and we weren't notified. The AC upstairs did not work. The owner was aware and fixed it before the first evening. However, it would have been a looooong night if we we had gone out for the evening and didn't have time to check. It was supposedly fixed weeks prior, but it would have been nice to have a heads up to check it, just in case. Also, at the top of the steps, there was a loose board which could have caused major injury with the kids running around if we hadn't noticed it right away. We just took it off; again, the owner knew about this -- but no heads up.
We thought there wasn't an iron, but it was tucked away in the top of the closet of one of the rooms, so was a baby pack-n-play, if you're looking for one.
There was something going on with the fridge where it didn't stay cold, but that could have been all the people going in and out. Not sure why the lights on the icons on the freezer didn't stay turned on though.
We also had one person who had their hair turn blue after being in the pool, but it may be b/c her hair was dyed already, since she was the only one who had the issue.
