The house overall treated our two families well, however there are some basic rental home "must haves" that need to be added. One of the main frustrations was the inability to exit through the back of the home. The location of the property (lack of front driveway) really makes it frustrating to unload/load car/golf cart. I understand that the owner likely has their person golf cart in the garage area which is why they restrict owners from going through there - but there are other ways to secure a personal golf cart I've seen other owners do (adding "The Club" or securing with bike locks) that they can implement which would keep their cart secure and still allow renters to pass through the garage. There wasn't any cabinet in the home that allowed us to put away food - there just wasn't any cabinet that didn't have cups/wine glasses, etc. My wife spent an hour rearranging the cabinets so we could actually have a pantry to put food away. The owners have their personal cabinet locked up of course, but the pantry area below it had decorative3 plates, cups, etc. A complete oversight by the owners of this home to provide a pretty basic expectation of having a functioning pantry when you are renting a home of this size for this cost. There is also no clothes storage in the lower floor master, no chest of drawers or anywhere to put clothes away. The closet in this room and others provided a closet with a place to hang clothes (which they had 3 hangers in the house so we had to go out and buy hangars to actually put some of our guests clothes away) All of this combined with the lack of ability to unload the car from the back of the house upon our arrival really put a sour taste in our mouths when we walked in. These are pretty basic things that I think any renters would expect to have. The home is beautiful, and the openness of the upstairs living/kitchen was nice and comfortable. Great house, owners just to need to make few changes to accommodate common rental needs.
