We rented the property to be in North Carolina for our daughter's wedding, along with guests who were staying with us. When we arrived, the home exterior seemed "tired" and the front porch and railing, as well as the back porch and riling were in great need of sweeping and spider web cleaning- which I did clean myself. And on the back deck was a dirty ashtray- and none of us are smokers. The grill was covered, but was in really bad need of cleaning before use- which one of our guests spent an hour cleaning. The kitchen was obviously updated, but the were two bulbs out in the ceiling light over the island, and could not be replaced, and one of the two bulbs over the kitchen sink was about out, so we changed both and cleaned the very dirty glass pendants. So, the kitchen was a little darker than if the lighting was in good repair. The oven underneath the counter was so gross we put a sticky note on the door saying "do not use". The oven in the island was better, but still in bad need of cleaning. The two dining areas provided ample seating. The ceiling light over the dark staircase to the upper floor was out. The worst was the daily, scary, lights flickering along with a buzzing sound. Then afer day two of our stay, the lights would flicker, buzz, then go out. Last day there-fixed!The chairs in the small pavillion on the dock were well speckled with bird doo, so we covered them with the bech towles so we coukd sit out there- they would do well with seat covers.
