The house is okay for a large group. The towels smelled moldy so we had to rewash before using them. The showers did not all have hot water. The upstairs gets very warm as circulation in the house is not optimal. The owner/manager of the house (Mia) is difficult to work with. From the first day, she asked that the contract be placed into the mailbox within 3 hours of arrival. The mailbox was locked so we placed the contract nearby her garden stones in the front porch so she could easily retrieve it. She did not pick it up that evening or the next day. It happened to rain on our last day so the contract was wet, which Mia complained about. However, that was not our responsibility at that point as she was supposed to pick it up within 3 hours of our arrival. Just a head's up before checking out of this place, take all sheets off the beds otherwise she will not refund your deposit. You pay a fee for cleaning of the house so you would think that a cleaning crew could handle that, but she will find any reason to take the goodwill deposit as well. I understand we left a few decorations but nothing that couldn't be thrown away in 2 minutes. But we emptied all the trashes, did the dishes, and even swept. This is much more than I have ever done for any home rental property. You would think the rental fees would cover some of these basic things, but I guess not.
Furthermore, one of her handymen or lawn care guys left open the side gate of the house and she blamed us for it. She claims there are videocameras showing her men didn't do it, but she does not share the footage with you.
