We were very disappointed with this rental unit. It looks beautiful and spacious in the pictures posted online. It is neither. I would include a link to photos I took of the unit, but unfortunately, that is not allowed here.
The unit is much smaller than it appears. The main living space was very cramped, despite how it appears in the pictures - and we were only four people. The walls are very thin within the unit and sound really travels. The beautiful photos sold us on this unit; reality painted a much different picture.
1. The deck is in poor shape. The two bar-height chairs and table on the deck are old and rickety. We didn't feel safe using them. There was also an issue with hornets/wasps out on the deck.
2. There was a live hornet's nest in the recessed porch light (light cover is missing).
3. The unit has an overall look of neglect.
a. Cracked floor tile in bathroom;
b. Screw sticking out of the 2nd Flr vanity;
c. Nail sticking out of the wall by bench in mudroom;
d. Backsplash behind kitchen sink needs repair;
e. Numerous areas in need of spackling / painting;
g. The underside of the range hood needs a good cleaning;
h. A number of stains on the carpet;
5. No closet or drawers to unpack your clothes in the 2nd flr bedroom.
6. It would be good to explicitly state in the listing that there is no TV service - no local channels, no cable - only streaming with your own accounts.
Although the lack of artwork or decoration is evident in the pictures posted online, it doesn't really hit you until you're there in person - all of the walls in the entire unit are bare with the exception of three paintings. What you do see on the walls, besides the damage previously mentioned, are all the holes where decorations/artwork had previously hung. I will say that the unit was well-cleaned with the exception of an old band-aid that was stuck to one of the throws.
We've stayed in many places in the North Conway area from VRBO rentals to hotels and motels - and this is the first time we've ever been disappointed with our stay. Although some of the issues I mentioned may seem small, when taken as a whole they made for a very disappointing experience, especially at this price point.
