First with the good: The location of the house is great. It's a quiet neighborhood that is well kept. The views from the canal are nice. There are plenty of dining options nearby, along with a grocery store and a Walmart within a few miles. The house itself has good size and the layout is good. The main appliances worked well, as did the tvs. There were 3 full bathrooms with showers and we never ran out of hot water for our family of 6. The AC worked well and the pool temperature was great. The washer and dryer appear new and worked well. The owner responded to my texts and was very friendly.
Things that need addressed: The pictures on the listing are outdated. Some of the furniture pieces are different than shown. One of the rooms shown to have two twin beds actually had a queen bed. The slats on this queen bed were broken, so I had to rotate the box springs 90 degrees to straddle the bed frame in order to support the mattress so that my daughter could sleep on the bed. (I informed the owner and she said that she would be ordering a new bed frame.) Some of the blinds had broken slats or broken strings. Some of the closet doors were off track or wouldn't slide easily. The master bed is very hard and creeky (my wife didn't sleep too well during the visit). The house needs a good dusting and the vents need a thorough cleaning. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom wobbled, so we didn't use it; but there was a box fan there that we used (albeit with dusty fan blades). The outside of the house needs some TLC.
Things the owner addressed while we were there: 1) When we arrived, the pool water was green and the walls were covered in algae. We texted the owner about it on the day we arrived and the next day a pool company came and cleaned the pool and treated the water. We were swimming in it by the 3rd full day with blue, clear water. 2) The garbage disposal didn't work when we tried to use it. After contacting the owner, a new disposal was installed by the end of the week.
Conclusion: The owner is friendly to communicate with and addressed the issues we pointed out. For the price point, we liked the house and would stay there again.
