Our first impression of the house was it looks nice and updated inside. But once you start to use items that impression quickly changes. The appliances are old. The coffee maker didn’t work. The base gets hot but interior water heater doesn’t work, so no coffee.
The toaster lever does not engage and shoots sparks. We couldn’t use either and they were not replaced during our stay. Owner said we didn’t know how to use the coffee maker… seriously?
The deck was filthy and had debris everywhere and long term filth, dust and dirt. Layers of it. We called the owners for them to clean it and they tried ( again) to explain it away as “ tree pollen building up fast”. This was not short term filth. They cleaned it the morning of our 2nd day and it stayed clean the rest of our stay, no build up at all. They also wasted 45 minutes of our time whining & complaining about having to clean it. He brought a leaf blower and water hose. The dock has rotten boards with holes through to the water. The diving board has rusted through and is unusable. Not secured to it’s base/mount any longer.
Be careful the railing is very loose going down the stairs to the dock.
The grill was not clean.
The floors turned our feet black so we mopped them ourselves.
The upstairs hall bathroom door will not shut and the door knob does not work. The shower curtains in both bathrooms have a clear shower curtain liner that is covered in thick soap scum to the point it looks white. In the tub they have placed anti- slip mats and they have mildew underneath.
The floors are beautiful and the countertop in the kitchen is gorgeous. The decor is nice.
The beds were lumpy.?? The furniture is painted garage sale quality pieces. Paint chipped off in areas. Except the gold couches in living room, they sat comfortably. Take photos upon arrival & departing. Buy insurance. They expect you to strip beds, do laundry and haul it all down to lower level. But they do not tell you this. Instead they will charge you an extra $300.
We bagged trash and left it inside after the bin was full outside but they didn’t like that.
The fridge has expired condiments in the door, entire door is full. They encourage you to leave unused food in the fridge.
We had a very odd unsettling experience with these owners. We travel a lot, Virginia, Texas, Oahu Hawaii, Mexico, Branson, St Louis, etc
To name a few recent trips.
Our stay in this rental has been over shadowed by the people who ran it.
