We took 30 photos we can send to show our concerns. We also communicated almost exclusively via texting, of which we kept copies.
PROS: The A/C worked well, and Don said to use it as much as we wanted, because the weather was extreme. They provided a fan. The TV was adequate and the owners allowed us to use our Roku
CONS: Shower floor ramp had exposed sharp edges. Don said to use the deck and BBQ, which was filthy, the propane tank covered with grease or other food. The deck had many layers of rotten wood. It was hazardous. We inquired about a privacy curtain in the kitchen, which Don denied. They asked to not wear shoes in the house, but the carpet was dirty so our feet got dirty. Toaster did not heat up at all and was supported on three legs, with the 4th one missing. We advised owner who replaced it with a used toaster that still had crumbs in it. A buildup of sludge in the Keurig caused coffee grounds to come out on top of the pods and into the coffee cup. I requested a $5 cleaning ball and my request was denied. We bought a new Keurig and Don took the unusable Keurig away. They supplied gallon jugs of water; but, the inside of the caps had rust and dirt on the interior. The love seat cushions had plywood under them. We put clothes on the bedroom closet shelf, only to find that the shelf was dirty and it transferred to our clothes. Owners said not to use Downy, and Morna would supply dryer balls. They didn't.
THE KITCHEN: The pans had burned on food stuck on them. They were unusable and we bought new ones to use. The glass top burners were old, and heated and cooled slowly. Apparently previous occupants had used abrasive sponges or steel wool to clean them. No glass top cleaning product was supplied to us.
The dishwasher did not clean sufficiently, and we washed dishes by hand in the sink.
The front door weather strip came loose the first week and we reported it to the owners. They texted back, "Thank you for letting us know." We never heard any more about that. We laundered sheets, pillow cases, and mattress pad and pillow liner. There was dried blood on both the mattress pad and one pillow liner. The first time we saw it we tried to get the blood out, however the blood had obviously been there for quite some time. We never got the blood out.
Bottom line: There were health hazards and physical hazards. Many of the appliances did not work. This may be acceptable for a one week stay. We expected better quality.
