Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing stay. While the location was excellent and check-in was easy, the property was poorly maintained and did not meet reasonable expectations for a vacation rental.There was visible damage to the property from the road, gardens were badly overgrown onto the porch, and cleaning supplies were left on the dining table and front steps. All of the beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable, and the blankets did not appear to be freshly cleaned. The towels were found in the dryer but did not have a fresh, clean smell.The most serious issue was a major plumbing problem. When someone was showering, the toilets would overflow, creating a substantial mess that I was left to clean up. I immediately notified the host, whose response was simply, “sorry bout it.” Given the severity of the problem and the disruption to our stay, this response was completely inadequate.Despite these issues, I stripped all the beds, placed the linens near the washer, and put the towels in the washer as requested in the checkout instructions.Unfortunately, we could never get comfortable or enjoy our stay. A great location and easy check-in cannot make up for poor maintenance, cleanliness concerns, uncomfortable beds, and an unresponsive host. This property needs significant attention before it is ready for guests.
