The amount of money paid did not equal the experience. Unfortunately, for a 6-week stay, there were many things to be disappointed about (as detaield below). However, The A/C worked nicely, the house was spacious, the road is quiet, the washer & dryer worked well and the view was spectacular. It's a shame the owners charge the amount of money that they do and provide very little in the way of comfort or upgrades. That property could be incredible, and instead, we overheard walkers passing by saying “that's the Sanford and Son house!”.
The dishwasher was so old that the spinner broke in the first week so we were unable to use it the majority of the time. I hand washed most of the time and air dried on the counter.
We did not have a charger for the vacuum cleaner, so we would not use it. We went out and purchased Swiffer products.
Additionally, the pipe out back that I called about three weeks into the rental was still spewing water 24/7. Not sure anyone ever came out to address it.
There were days we wanted to open the windows to get some fresh air, but some of the window screens were ripped and the windows/screens had mold.
The inside A/C vents in the bedrooms had mold that needed to be wiped off and the first bedroom has water damage in the ceiling. So much that it concerned me that perhaps it was new b/c I couldn't imagine it would just be left like that. But luckily, it was not new damage.
The couches and throw rugs were old, and the remaining wood floors were unsightly!
We never even opened or used the garages since the light in there was not working, and there was no way to see in there without a flashlight.
Overall, we were pretty disappointed with the age and condition of the house and the yard which was full of weeds and hardly any grass. Both times the weeds were so high that we had to call to get someone to come out. The house smells terrible – musty. We had 4 air fresheners spread throughout the house the entire time.
We bought two floor mats and left them there – one for the main entrance, and one for the back entrance. They helped a lot with dirt and sand.
