Overpriced, too many concerns
I hope we could read review like this before rent this house. I will try to describe the property because it wasn't review and describe enough.
We rented this home for the Christmas/New Year week. This year because of pandemic we had make this trip as last minute decision and didn't have big variety of home to rent at VRBO. We paid around $100/day more than our previous winter trips to NC and expected to have a great vacation.
Communication with owner before arrival was Ok, but this was first time when for check in an owner doesn't use a lock-box and asked to met in the house. My wife is a medical provider and works close with COVID-19 so our family takes serious all safety regulations. Our first shock was when Varshana and Eric met us inside the house, they were walking around the house without masks and touching everything. Also we couldn't find in the house any COVID rules, sanitizers etc. This was our second trip to NC during the pandemic and previous house had everything to feel you safe.
The house itself is clean and spacious, but you feel as if owners have saved on you. Old furniture, cheap bathroom and kitchen, low amount of decoratons, microwave handle has been broken, toilets easy get clogged, water heater is small and only two people can shower before water is run out. Basement floor has a bed but doesn't have bathroom, so if you rent house for big group bathrooms can be an issue. Also make sure to bring entertainment with you, they have only old dvd disks.
When we arrived outside temperature was below 20 degrees and heating doesn't work properly. It took more than 24 hours to get 72 degrees inside. Our first night was terrible and freeze. Varshana tried to call HVAC guy but it was Christmas day nobody cannot come. So they keep us as is.
We also were surprised that in such expensive house we have take our garbage to the recycle center which is more than mile away.
I'd not recommend this house except you golfer and come to play at Mill Creek course.
