This house was incredibly poorly equipped with the basic items you would expect at a rental where you're paying thousands for a 6 night stay. That was a secondary problem to the HEAT! The house & bedrooms were HOT, HOT, HOT during the day and at sadly, at night too. We couldn't even relax in a cool house when it was 90+ degrees outside. Sweating in our beds, every night, under a sheet at 10PM at night. Seriously frustrating! Maintenance was called over and over and over during our stay and told us the A/C units were very old and the owners were well aware they units needed to be replaced for some time. So, we were just miserable from that perspective and the property manager essentially did nothing other than confirm that it was hot inside, shouldn't be hot inside and that she knew we were very uncomfortable. She said the owners were probably going to finally have to invest in getting new units AFTER THE RENTAL SEASON. Well, what good does that do us for our stay???
Second, this house was supposed to accommodate up to 20 people - there are lots of beds, which was nice. But the kitchen was ridiculously unstocked with the basic things you need to cook meals. We were a family of 12, cooking 3 meals a day and we had two tiny little skillets and a few small pots to work with. No mixing bowls, no measuring spoons or cups, no potato peelers, cheese grader, no salt & pepper shakers, no plastic bowls or cups - not even a single kitchen towel to dry our hands with. Just ridiculous. No wine glasses. We had to go out and buy kitchen towels.
We basically walked into this house and nothing worked. TV's weren't working. Internet modem unplugged, cable box unplugged. We had to figure out how to plug everything in and get it all working. Ridiculous. Remotes still wouldn't work on bedroom TV's. More visits from maintenance...
We woke up the first morning to realize the coffee maker didn't work. Had to go out and buy a coffee maker. Owners said she would reimburse us - never bothered to do this.
None of the bedroom or bathroom doors locked. More maintenance visits to try to get these fixed. He couldn't even get half of them working. Worst of all, the beds! Absolute cheapest and flattest pillows and bedding you can buy at Walmart.
Overall, this house had the most disappointing amenities we've ever seen in a high-priced rental like this. My family and I have stayed in many rentals in many places and this one was absolutely the worst.
