We spent Memorial Day at this house, which wasn't well cleaned and smelled a little smokey when we arrived. The lower level was musty throughout the weekend. The kitchen is nice and big but some spatulas and pans were thoroughly dirty and the dishwasher is very difficult to use. Also, the ice maker didn’t make any ice during out 3 day stay.
It’s as though the house wasn’t checked before the season; there were cobwebs in corners indoors and the grass hadn’t been cut (8-10 inches of growth) so it’s hard to play on it. Also, the grills have old charcoal in them so they had to be cleaned out and there were no grilling utensils. There was a wasp nest that kept us from using the patio (between the patio door and the screen). And then one of the dining room chairs broke the first time it was used, and a second gave my daughter splinters.
There aren’t enough blankets for the beds, and while there are are towels, and there are only larger towels or wash clothes (the guide did say sparsely-provided, I guess). A more complete list of what to bring would be helpful—ie, very limited toilet paper and paper towels are provided, along with some dishwasher pods and soap that’s ok but we were never given a list of what to bring.
All in all, we were looking for an A+ stay and it was a B-. Not the worst—the house was newish and spacious, with a pool table downstairs and TVs that worked well, but we probably won’t be back. A bit more responsiveness from the property manager would have helped as well.
