Nice Home, Quiet Area
Everything went well with exception of air conditioning, when we arrived I went and tried lowering the thermostat and found that it was locked out with a passcode at 72 degrees. I contacted the property manager and he promptly arrived to help us, he could not lower the temp either. He told me he would reach out to the owner and see if they would remotely lower the temp. This did not happen our entire stay, I had to go to Walmart and buy four fans in order to help move air around. Could not run the ceiling fan in our bedroom because it was wobbling so bad, tried different speeds but wobbled on any speed. With this said, I will not be renting this home again due to an owner deciding how cool I need to be.

The house was ok, the bedding was very dirty as well as all the dishes. But there was enough beds and space for everyone.
