Part 1 or 2
First & foremost I would like to say that the owners of this property are extremely nice & helpful and this review has nothing negative about them personally. They were so easy to work with!
When I booked the property, I went off of the photos & reviews. The reviews were pretty much outstanding so, I took a chance & booked the house for a week for myself, husband, mother & two children. I knew the house was outdated but, it looked clean & to me, that was important.
The house needs a ton of TLC. Everything works but, doesn’t work 100%. The house does appear to be clean but, the surface is clean. It really needs a major deep clean. The first day, my children were barefoot & their feet with fifty. We had to go buy slippers because the floors are not clean. They were not barefoot outside the grout or the tile is just dirty. The exhaust fan in the master bath is extremely dirty (as all the vents are - so you are breathing in dirt/dust). The master bed was very uncomfortable, you can actually feel the springs as you laid on it. From what I hear, the other beds were not comfortable, either. The bathroom sinks do not drain in the main bathroom.When you shower in the master bath, the toilet bubbles so, there is obviously a clog. I personally took very quick showers because I was worried there was going to be a back up. There is fungus of something growing on the widow in the bedroom with the twin beds. My plan was that the kids were going to sleep in there but, I did not want them breathing in whatever was growing so, we did not utilize this room & shut the door for the week. The water dispenser on the fridge runs so slow, we couldn’t possibly fill up a glass of water in less than 10 minutes so, you have to purchase bottled. There are alarms on every window, which makes me think this is a higher crime area, and that can be frightening. The dryer doesn’t dry in 60 minutes so, you’ll need to run it twice. We baked a frozen pizza & the oven took over 40 minutes to heat to 450. The blinds in the sitting room are broken, so, they do not close all the way for privacy.
The garbage can is filthy with food & food containers stuck to the bottom. It stinks & there may be bugs in it. Not sure why this wasn’t hosed/bleached out.
All the door handles/light switches were very dirty. I cleaned some of them myself.
The pool is nice & we spent a lot time out there. There are a lot of dead bugs (and one dead lizard) in it but, you can easily
