1)Main floor bathtub had 20+ dead bugs in it, and the rear shower door was off it tracks and inoperable.

2)All patios were covered with pine straw, and interior floors were so dirty we could not go barefoot without turning the bottom of our feet black.

3)Six overhead light bulbs in the main area did not work, and several in the upper bedrooms did not work.

4)Advertised with "outdoor grille", but it was totally rusted out and unusable and the type you would find in a state park for hot dogs. We had advised owner we planned to cook out 3 meals and were expecting at least a 4-burner gas grille, but the never responded.

5)House needed to be thoroughly cleaned-floors, shabby dusty upholstery; three mattresses must have come from a yard sale because they were so lumpy, worn, and uncomfortable.

6)There were only 6 water glasses, so the 5 of us had to constantly wash glasses each time we wanted to drink. We finally bought some Solo cups for our own use.

7)Butcher knives would not cut butter and there was no sharpener available.

8)There is a serious problem with water under the glass and on top of the wood on the breakfast table, so we were unable to use it. This did not impact our stay but was very unpalatable and indicative that there had been no cleaning or maintenance in the house for weeks before we arrived.

9) Patio chairs were very uncomfortable and definitely need cushions for regular use. Chairs and tables were covered with pine straw.

10) Home was advertised with a large fishing pier, and we were advised before arriving that the recent storm had wiped it out, and when we requested a 10% discount to compensate for not being able to fish from the pier, the owner advised he could not grant our request.

In summary we were expecting a much more upscale interior and would have gladly paid more for an environment to which we all five are accustomed to in our own homes. It was not pleasant to downgrade our living standards while on a "luxury" vacation. The owner had promised to stop in on Monday, and we had already prepared a list of these comments to review with him, but he never showed up, so we dealt with the situation as best we could.
