Not the best experience.
The pluses to the property; location and sleeping areas. The beds were comfortable and had the layout that we needed for adult children and spouses. However, the house was dirty. The lawn was not mowed, outside garbage cans overflowing and no where to put the garbage from inside the house when we left. The front entrance had just had new cement walkway and was caution taped off. The basement entrance was unlocked and the door handle fell off in our hand. My husband bought a set of tools and fixed it so we wouldn’t have anymore issues. There was painters tape in many places and half painted areas throughout the house. There was a missing threshold between one of the bedrooms that had exposed carpet tack strips. Understandably, it looked like they may be trying to fix the place up. We can accept that to a degree. Outlets hanging out of the wall not acceptable. It was a very dirty home. The ceiling fans and air vents are covered in dust that is just hanging. However, the stick on breast covers that were stuck to the closet doors in the downstairs bedroom were the final straw. Very disgusting. We were not able to get in touch with host contact after finding all of these issues. Her phone went to voicemail with a full inbox. We have never had to leave a bad review when renting. This one warranted it unfortunately! Hopefully, they can turn it around and hire some decent cleaning people and be better with this property.

It’s rare that our whole crew has a bed to sleep in, but this place was a comfortable, clean and convenient stay.

Great house in lovely neighborhood
Perfect for our needs, well stocked, clean, pet friendly. And best was the neighborhood, very safe, cute, well kept homes that backed up to paved walking trails around a marsh& creek which my dog enjoyed. Bedrooms were all big, had more than we needed! Owner didn't respond by email but when I called phone # she was very responsive & helpful re a small issue with the lockbox. Lots of room for sleeping, 5 queen beds - one they used in the lower level family room to make it a 5 bed. 2 bds up, 3 lower. Only thing is main level family room could use extra chair or seating if you are a bigger group but we weren't. Had eat in kitchen and cute dining room. Nice overall space and well kept yard. Quiet neighborhood but central to main roads so quick access to whatever stores you need.
