We were disappointed by the overall cleanliness and maintenance of this home. While the property has potential and the location worked well for our family, it was not in the condition we expected upon arrival.Throughout the house we found stained bath towels, dirty drawers with hair and debris, dead bugs on window sills, dusty closets and shelves, cobwebs, dirty exhaust fans, burned-out light bulbs, and dishes that had been put away without being properly cleaned. The coffee maker contained old coffee grounds and had to be cleaned before we could use it.Several maintenance issues also needed attention, including a broken rocking chair, a broken toilet seat, a loose towel ring, a cracked family room window, damaged screens, and stained dining chair cushions and sofas. None of the bathrooms had towel bars, only high-mounted hooks that were difficult for children to use.The most concerning issue was discovering extensive black buildup around the aerators on every bathroom and kitchen faucet after a black clump came out of one faucet while running the water. While we can't identify what the buildup was, it raised concerns about sanitation.We also had to purchase basic supplies such as hand soap, tissues, a new dish sponge, and vinegar to clean the coffee maker, and spent part of our vacation cleaning the home ourselves. We shared these concerns privately with the host in hopes they would be addressed, but unfortunately we did not receive a response.
