The property location and check in/check out were excellent. The house was great except we did have major issues with ants inside and outside the home as well as more than a dozen wasp nests. If you drop one spec of crumb on the floor you will turn around to a million ants. It was terrible. We had to go buy spray. The house also needs some work. The hammock outside literally fell when my daughter sat on it. Left a bump on her head, a huge scrape on her bottom and elbow. The hardware holding it up was rusted so it literally snapped in half and the wooden pier they had it in was rotted. The other swing on the porch is rusted and almost fell over when I sat on it. So we didn't use either. The outside water hose spicket is rusted and cut my finger. The water pressure was low so it made it hard to shower or wash dishes. Other than that the home is beautiful and the location was perfect! ##### Ashley C.
