For years this property has needed to upgrade its electrical outlets. Ordinary chargers for phones and computers will not stay "in" many of the outlets in the living room and bedrooms but fall out and only a few of the outlets are useable for this reason. The king and queen mattresses are very uncomfortable, bowl-shaped. I chose to use a twin bed this year and last year for this reason and my guests complained about the larger mattresses. Half of the hall lights were burned out and one of the porch lights was out. There were no spare light bulbs to be found anywhere and it would have been appropriate to have some available - more appropriate to see that none were burned out. A light to illuminate the grilling area of the lower deck near the hose would be nice since that is presumably where grilling is supposed to be done and it is not illuminated by the very dim porch lighting. For the first time in many, many times renting this property I had to make a noise complaint about people in the other side as it was filled with college students who decided one night to have a party that went on several hours indoors and out and the next day played loud music on the deck for several hours. Apparently someone finally got a message through to them and they were at last quiet for the remainder of their stay. It was my understanding that someone at least thirty years of age is to be on the property - but none of the guests on that side appeared to meet that criterion. When you plan this far in advance for a vacation and you choose the same house over and over again for, what, 28 years now - you expect to have the basics covered - comfortable beds, quiet neighbors, functioning outlets, adequate lighting. This year was a big disappointment.
