Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall, our stay was okay, but the home didn't match our expectations. The biggest issue was cleanliness—we noticed dirty floors, cobwebs, dust, bugs, stained furniture, a musty smell, and visible mold in the showers. The property also felt dated, missing blinds etc. With better cleaning and maintenance, it has the potential to provide a much better guest experience.

Our Father

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Our Father. Everything was as we hoped upon arrival. Great accommodations for everyone in our group. The pool and hot tub were big hits.

The pool and hot tub were great. Great location. Property in need of updates. It was not very clean, no rugs, not comfortable. Check out required a lot of extra work when you pay for the cleaning fee.

Peace and quiet

Corolla Drive is a very quiet and pleasant residential area. Restaurants and groceries less than 3 miles. Home was more than we needed, but we like extra space. We really hope to return another season. Heated private pool was a fantastic feature! Wished for lamps for reading and end tables for coffee cups, but we worked that out. Thumbs up and 5 stars

Wonderful

The house was great for all our needs. We had a few things that needed replaced or fixed and our requests were taken care of in a timely manner. When we got there we noticed there was no gate to put up at the top of the stairs to keep my disabled 4 year old safe. We messaged the rental company and they got a gate to us within a couple hours. They also replaced the outside umbrella that was broken and fixed the hot tub when it wouldnt heat up. Overall we had a great time and i would rent this house again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The house was nasty. There was food on cabinets and in drawers. We also found dishes in the cabinets with food on them, so we had to wash everything before we could use it. The floors were so dirty and not mopped that when we walked barefoot are feet were black with dirt. The beds were clean as well as bathrooms. The pool and jacuzzi were nice. The host was pleasant. I cannot give a referral and would not book this home again.
