This house has a lot of potential. It has a beautiful layout, plenty of space, and the kids really enjoyed the pool. The host was also very polite and pleasant to communicate with.There were, however, several maintenance issues that need attention. The pool steps were broken and roped off, the yard needed considerable upkeep, and the downstairs mattress needs to be replaced. The ice maker did not work and no ice trays were provided. We also had only half a roll of paper towels, no hair dryers, no washcloths or hand towels, and several lights that did not work. The biggest concern was a significant drain fly problem in the bonus room.Overall, we enjoyed the home and its layout, but with some attention to maintenance, supplies, and cleanliness, it could be a wonderful vacation rental.

As a property that is family owned and run, we thank you for your thoughtful feedback and we are glad you enjoyed our communication, the home’s layout, space and the pool. We’re sorry that some maintenance concerns affected your stay. We take your comments seriously and like we mentioned in our texting communication upon your departure we immediately treated the issue with the drain flies. Again, we apologize for that. We have also addressed the yard and pool ladder. We are confused as to what the problem with the downstairs mattress is, as it is a brand new mattress. When choosing mattresses for our guests, we tried to accommodate the sleeping preferences of most sleepers but mattress firmness is ultimately a personal preference. We are sorry this mattress was not within your preference. For clarity, during your stay we let you know that additional paper towels were available in either the laundry room or the kitchenette. Upon servicing the house, there were still additional paper towels available for your family’s use on the countertop located in these areas. Hand towels were provided for each guest in the bathrooms with additional hand towels on the open shelf in the laundry room. There was a hair dryer in the master bathroom drawer and as for the ice, we did have a bag of ice in the freezer for your stay. We always want guests to feel comfortable reaching out so we can help locate any supplies during their stay. Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing feedback that helps us continue improving.

The house was super clean, the host was very polite and responded quickly, the pool area was so nice and pretty, this house truly had a place for everyone, some rooms were perfect for adults, while other rooms were kid friendly with bunk beds, toys, and books. I absolutely loved this house and definitely want to stay again in the future. We almost didn’t even want to leave the house to go to the beach we loved it so much!
