For a 5-bedroom house advertised for large groups, we expected a well-maintained, properly equipped vacation rental. Instead, our Sunday-to-Saturday stay became something of a cautionary tale. It started with doors that were difficult to shut/lock, reversed shower valves, squeaky beds, dirty floors and stairs, unclean primary rugs, stickers still on the windows. On Day 2, the Wi-Fi stopped working. The host was extremely slow to respond, leaving us tied to the house for extended periods waiting for someone to address it. The amenities provided their own surprises: a broken refrigerator shelf, unusable broom, limited cookware, and a tiny Keurig that made roughly two cups of coffee, no full-size coffee maker. The grill was small for a large group, the pool table is essentially unusable where it sits, and the back theater seats don’t raise enough to see the screen properly. There were also safety concerns, including a raised/loose pool-deck drain cover, a leaking hose connection, and no gate at the lower deck. With several rainy days, there was no dry outdoor space. There was no trash pickup during our entire stay, and trash was scattered around the property. Ongoing construction and the home’s active sale also affected the experience. The house has potential, but there were simply too many maintenance, cleanliness, safety, amenity, and communication issues. Future guests should ask questions before booking. I would not book this house for future stays.
