Overall, our stay was decent and the house offered plenty of space for everyone. The kids loved the playroom, and the views were fantastic.However, several issues impacted our stay:Non-Functional Amenities• The hot tub was completely unusable — it was green with algae, and no documentation, test kits, or maintenance chemicals were provided.• The main kitchen oven did not work properly, though we were fortunately able to use the smaller secondary kitchen's oven.Cleanliness & Maintenance Concerns• Upon arrival, the deck and outdoor table were covered in bird droppings, requiring us to clean everything before sitting down.• The back of the house was covered in dead bugs and cobwebs, making it impossible to enjoy sitting outside in the evenings.Host Responsiveness• The owner was non-responsive, leading to delay getting into the house. We ultimately needed VRBO to step in and assist.Recommendations for Hosts• Schedule a professional power washing of the home's exterior and deck prior to guest arrival.• Upgrade to a more thorough turnover cleaning service to ensure outdoor areas are sanitary.• Install bug zappers or pest control measures around the outdoor seating space.• Repair the main oven and restore the hot tub to working condition with clear instructions provided.• Improve response times for guest communication, especially around check-in.We had a good time overall and just wanted to pass along this feedback in case it's helpful for future guests.
