We did not stay a single night in the home. We arrived thirty minutes after check-in time and the cleaners were still cleaing, so we left and we waited for two hours before we returned. The inside of this property is as advertised. However, the entire lawn, front and back was obviouly neglected and weed infested. The lawn around the pool was weed infested. The planters in front of the home were weed infested. The pool was nonusable. It had a cover on it that was covered with moldy water with a dirty beach ball floating on it. This caused us to question how well keep the inside might be. We chose this property specifically for the pool. Very disapointed.

First off, know that this house is shared. It has 2 units. Neither our family or the other folks that stayed there knew it was being shared. We both thought we had the whole place. Second, it advertised sleeping for 16. The bedroom that advertised to have a double bed and two single beds is not accurate. When we arrived and started looking for beds, we called to see where the 2 missing twin beds were located. They asked us to send pics of each bedroom which we did. Crickets. No return call to help us locate these beds. So, 2 of us had to make other arrangements to sleep. Upon bringing this up to the owners, they still maintain those beds are there. They did provide a picture of a trundle under one of the beds, still leaving the space 1 twin bed short of what they advertised. Then, the house that supposedly sleeps 16, had no spoons for eating, no can opener, no dish towels and one partial roll of paper towels. In fairness, they did get those items to us the next morning. The beautiful pool in the pictures was slime green and unusable during our stay. The back yard was overgrown, in desperate need of mowing and trimming. Then there were the neighbors sharing the house. We could hear them yelling at each other into the night. And we got to enjoy their weed smoke coming in the windows, so much so that we had to vacate one of the bedrooms, moving the mattress into the master. Unless you have 14 sleeping in the house and don’t mind sharing the property with strangers, I would pass

The house was spacious and located in a quiet area. However, the house was lacking in several ways: the kitchen was poorly stocked. There were no kitchen towels, pans were old and left over so it was hard to cook. The living room had old furniture that appeared dirty, and the black couch was torn. We noticed roaches the first night and informed the property owners immediately. They sent out an exterminator the next morning, however a more thorough extermination will need to be performed because we continued to see roaches throughout our stay. There is a downstairs unit and the noise from that unit carries right through to the master bedroom which kept us up to 2am one night.

We had a wonderful stay in this property. The kitchen and common areas are large and accommodated our large family perfectly. Bedrooms are fantastic and beds so comfortable. Highly recommend!

Property was very nice and was spacious and clean. The kitchen was gorgeous. But the service was lacking, we did not have enough towels, no toilet paper, no bath mat, no garbage bags and no soap only in the master bath. I had go to Walmart and purchase all these things which they offered to reimburse. Front door access didn't work could only enter property from back door. I would stay at this property again but next time I would bring all my supplies or remind them of all the stuff that should be supplied.
