The reviews do mention it being bare-bones, but a few more necessities might be nice, such as bath towels, baking sheets, grill/broiling pan, cooking oil/spray, and food storage containers. The fence out back definitely needs upkeep. We had 3 neighborhood cats show up in the back yard while we were there. The neighbors were nice, quiet and considerate. The location is close to a lot of shopping and easy access to I-26. Overall, good stay.
