I gave the house a 4 star rating because I could not do 3.5 so, I felt it was a happy medium. The pool, hot tub, back deck were great. The rooms were nice, but were quite possibly the most uncomfortable mattresses that I have ever slept on. While communication, location, and condition of the home in general were good, there were a few issues. First, there was an awful smell permeating the hallway leading to the bedrooms. To be honest, it smelled like pets had urinated somewhere in the house and it was not properly picked up. After searching the house, we finally realized the smell was coming from a set of curtains that conceal the washer and dryer in the hallway. I’m pretty sure a dog had recently marked the curtains as the smell was even more horrendous as you got closer to the bottom of it. I had to purchase a small bottle of febreze and basically spray the entire thing to kill the odor. Second, the pool and foozball table were great; however, the garage was filthy and there was broken glass on the floor near the pool table. We discovered the glass when one of my kids nearly stepped on the shards with bare feet, so my husband had to sweep the entire garage. Finally, the kitchen smelled like a dirty sponge. I realized it was the counters that smelled like they had been wiped with a dirty sponge and I suspect that’s exactly what the cleaners did. Additionally, the ice trays and freezer were filthy with dirt and hair. Again, the communication was good, the neighborhood is quiet and tucked away, which we loved. The house overall is nice. But I feel someone didn’t do their job in cleaning it properly. The smell of dog urine is very strong and very obvious, so there is no way that smell was missed by the cleaning company. A vacation home should not have to be cleaned by the renter immediately upon their arrival and that’s exactly what we had to do because it really was *that* bad - spray odor eliminator, wipe down counters with Clorox, sweep broken glass from a garage. Would I recommend this property? Yes. And I sincerely hope that all these issues will be fixed for the next renter as it really is a nice house!
