Overall, we had a decent trip, but had some issues with the property.
1. The cleanliness of the property just wasn’t top notch. Kitchen cabinets were dirty with stuff dripped down them, dishes had dried food in them, kitchen sponge was clearly old and disgusting, etc.
2. The home needs some maintenance. Both full bathrooms had missing towel rods. Several light switch covers were cracked or broken. There was several places were drywall just wasn’t repaired properly. The ice machine stopped working one day into our stay.
3. The pool was in rough shape. This was clearly an older pool, but in need of repairs and cleaning. I actually ended up vacuuming and skimming the pool myself several times during our stay. I understand there’s some tree debris that no one can control, but the bottom of the pool was just dirty. I wasn’t about to swim in a pool like this. Additionally, because the concrete around the pool had been painted, it was incredibly slick.
4. I didn’t love the cameras around the property. I understand needing to protect your property if you aren’t present, but having a camera directly aimed at the pool was unacceptable. We had a young child present so we ended up covering the camera, as you just never know these days.
5. The kitchen isn’t stocked with what you need. They had some basics, but good luck finding a measuring cup. Again, due to cleanliness, every item we used was washed before and after use.
6. Communication with the owner- quick replies but rude.
