House was in great location and had a great set up for a large number of people. Pool was fun for the kids. Our only complaint was the house being in disrepair with water leaking in the hallway after raining and soft spots on the bathroom floor. Owner was very nice and helpful!

Overall it was okay. The pool was green when we got there but did clear up the next day. One of the beds had sand in it. There were stickers all in the rugs. The pictures look bigger and better than it actually is. But all in all it was okay. The beds were comfortable and the location was good.

So many issues with this property. Inside and outside was dirty. There was food all outside around the patio and pool. Which brought in bunch of ants. The bbq pit was disgusting.Inside in the living room it is not as in the listing as you put a Huge cover over the sofa due to all the stains on it. The wicker furniture is broken and coming apart. The rug needs to be taped down. The corners roll up it is definitely a trip hazard and it was for granddaughter and my mom who uses a walker. The remote situations is for TVs is ridiculous. Especially the one in the bedroom which I had to figure out how to change input manually and change volume. The play room was not vacuumed or picked up. There was balloon pieces everywhere, trash and the games ere all sticky. The bean bags are torn and stained. The floors in the house haven’t been swept nor mopped ever. Our feet were black within an hour of being there. Kitchen couldnt find light switch, no soap for dishwasher . The oven was caked on with grease and food from months of not being cleaned. The handles on the stove are broken and fall off and let me tell you it’s painful when it hits your toe. No pans to cook, no cooking utensils to use. Had to go and buy our own. It was a very bad experience. Sent text and pictures but was not address nor cleaned up.

There are definitely issues with the cleanliness and overall maintenance of this home. We immediately noticed the cleaning was not done properly in the home and outdoor areas. There was trash around the yard. The patio area was not clean. The grill was dirty. The outdoor sink area did not work. There was also an issue with roaches and ants. We noticed the couch was stained. There were areas in the home that had not been swept. There was a loose board on the step down in the hall. The bean bag was torn and stained. We noticed pillows with stains on them. Both the oven and refrigerator were dirty. Two knobs on the stove were broken. The showers were slow to drain and there was a problem with low water pressure. There was also a strange smell when we tried to run the dryer so we decided not to use it. I expressed my concerns about cleanliness prior to our arrival due to negative reviews. I was assured this would not be an issue. Although the owner/property contact is apologetic the issues are not actually addressed. No real action was taken to remedy the situation nor were we offered any kind of discount for the inconvenience. This is not acceptable. We as guests had to sweep and clean several areas so we could be more comfortable. Staying at this property was an expense for our family and it is unfortunate that we had a negative experience. At a minimum we expected a clean and well maintained property. Based on our experience I would not recommend this property.

Our overall stay was great, the kids had an awesome time swimming in the pool and having a sleepober everynight in the game room. The only thing I would have changed was to have a better selection of cooking gear for the stove top and oven. Everything else was great, we would definitely stay there again.
