First off the day I was supposed to check in I messaged Carlos multiple times in which he never replied so I had to call him! He then stated he had no reservations he had to check with co host and would call me back! He never called back next thing I know I received notification for cancel and then refund!!!! I was in another state with a party of 10 and check in was at 4 and we were cancelled after 6pm! When I called him back he basically stated what was he supposed to do someone else was in residence and he would do absolutely nothing! It was horrible to be treated this way and then panicking to have to find accommodations for 10 ppl! Not to mention I made the booking in December and received all the information to get to home address and all! What if I would have arrived there and people already in the residence! This was a nightmare!
On the game room the pool table didn’t have any pool sticks. It had one but the tip was missing. The air hockey game didn’t not have a putt. Dart game didn’t have any darts. But over it was a great place to stay while me and my family was there for a graduation. The host Carlos was great, he responded quickly when I had a question or needed anything. If you have a chance to stay you want regret it!!

Disliked: Check-in, communication
Property was nice. Pool was great as well as the pickleball court. Nice game room. Mater bedroom and en-suite was very nice! All the bedrooms were decent size. Kitchen was big with a big island. That being said the communication was almost non existing. I never received an email with any info about check in. No door code. No WiFi password. How to turn on lights for pool or pickleball courts. No list of any kind about basic stuff like tp, hand soup, towels, etc. All these items were there which was great but I still bought and brought stuff I didn’t need. Game room was nice but everything was kind of packed in there. Dartboard had two darts (later found other darts in kitchen drawer). One pool stick and it had no tip. Not to mention they double booked the BnB! Two hours after arriving another family showed up saying they booked for the weekend also. They eventually went somewhere else. Not sure where. We had a great time but not after going through some issues.
