The price of the rental, the communication with the owner and the check-in process were all great.
There were several issues/problems with our experience.
- It is on a main hwy, so a lot of traffic, morning and NIGHT. I'm not from the area and didn't realize this.
- The kitchen was full of fruit flies, not something I want or should have to deal with on a vacation. We mitigated the problem within 3 days with glasses of wine.
- The kitchen glass door was extremely hard to open, it had no screen which would have been nice to open and hang out on the porch or opening while cooking. Also, there is a window company right behind the property so they could see in side.
- The toaster oven did not work.
- The Brita water pitcher had leaks and leaked on the floor and in the fridge.
- the upstairs smelled like pee, not sure if it was the carpet but not a great smell.
- 2 BDRS had no dressers, so we kept our cloths in our luggage and our children organized there cloths on the floor.
- The BDR with 2 twin beds, for kids I assume (my 2 kids took it) it had no curtains or blinds and was facing the street, not good. good thing I brought their blackout curtain
- the 2 BTHS had hairballs on the shower curtain and tub
- the 2nd BTH drain was clogged, standing water as I showered, yuck. Drano?
- the bedroom doors squeaked when I open/closed, hard at night when kids need to go to the BTH
I know a lot of these are simple fixes but not something I should deal with on a family vacation.
