The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was advertised with a dryer and washing machine, The dryer did not work. The washing machine leaked water badly. The laundry floor waste was blocked, and the floor flooded. Two visits to Winnings to have it repaired. The cockroaches were friendly. The house was extremely cluttered with un-needed furniture and belongings. Windows didn't lock and fly screens are damaged. The house is in need of considerable maintenance. My wife spend her first hour cleaning the bathroom. ##### Allan M.
