Reviewer Comments:
Marsh Mellow is conveniently located, but the property is showing age and badly needs a refresh. They recently had a water leak, so there is a large hole in the kitchen ceiling. The cheap laminate flooring is spongy, was dirty, and there is definitely water damage below it by the porch door. There was a pervasive odor of fish in the kitchen when we arrived that they had attempted to mask with some industrial cleaner - so it smelled like fish or a powerful cleaner in the kitchen the whole time we were there. The living room furniture is old and outdated and uncomfortable. The hot tub area is not very welcoming - kind of a dark, cluttered, dirty-feeling area - and we couldn't get the hot tub to function well. The carpet on the stairs is very old and dirty. We were informed that we would get a "starter roll of toilet paper and paper towels", which seems a bit cheap for a fairly expensive rental home. We had a towel rack, shower curtain rod, multiple handles on cabinets, and the microwave handle all fall off or already loose during our stay. The property managers did respond to us and fix some of the easy things, but it's just the general overall condition of the house that needs updating. Fresh paint, furniture, flooring, etc. - everything is just kind of "beat".
