Nothing crazy bad happened with us at the house, but we were a little disappointed in a handful of things. The listing sells itself well, but the actual house is just a little meh. Here were our issues:
- Both shower heads were very short, requiring me to bend down while showering (I'm 5'9")
- The house has a very old feel in person, not cool retro, just older
- Lighting not adequate at night in the living room, one wall sconce didn't work (we changed out the bulb, and it was the fixture that was broken), and there was only one lamp in the living room, leaving half of the room very dark.
- Most of the pots/pans were not clean, so we had to wash them before use
- There were 11 dead bugs on the carpet in the queen bed guest room
- The record player sounded terrible and needs a new needle (my guess), so we couldn't enjoy that fun touch
- The hot tub cover was in such bad shape it looked like it had been decomposing for years. The hot tub itself was not that deep, so it was hard for more than one adult to have much space in it at the same time. It was winter, so we didn't use the pool at all.
- All the pillows were huge (there were a lot of them, just all very very thick, so there were no options for people who don't like massive pillows)
- The owner never answered a question I sent over vrbo prior to our stay, and didn't send the house guide/check in information until a few hours before check in after I called them and left a message.
- The patio string lights seemed hung randomly, with nothing plugged into power (or even close to any), so we couldn't use them
We did enjoy the large TV, and the location. The house just didn't seem like anyone cared to put too much thought into making it a comfortable rental property. They took good photos, then just let it be. It was not at all a horrible rental experience, we all had a good time, but we all agreed that there were a lot of things the owners just seem to be neglecting.
