I like to write honest reviews giving the pluses and minuses of a rental. I have rented a lot of houses through the years so I have an idea of good and bad. We are not extremely picky but at the price we paid for this we expected a bit more. We rented this house for 3 weeks - here are my thoughts:
Positives:
-Beautiful setting - privacy from neighbors, trees trimmed nicely for viewing ample wildlife, lots of daylight in the house
-large portable fans provided
-hot tub mostly works but no instructions on how to get all jets operating
-nice W/D and laundry detergent supplied
-owner/prop manager (not sure which) pretty responsive
-bathrooms good size and nice and lots of TP provided
-plenty of bath towels
Negatives:
-No welcome book of things to do, places to eat, instructions, etc
-kitchen very poorly stocked as far as basics - no foil, plastic wrap, etc, only one mixing bowl and few cooking utensils
-kitchen needs a thorough cleaning - cabinets, stove & oven
-sheets on beds very worn and pilled
-only one hand towel per bathroom, no spares
-face cloths very stained and look dirty despite being washed
-broken down charcoal grill, no gas grill
-only closet for hanging clothes is in the master bedroom - other rooms have either a shelves or a dresser
-although house can sleep 10, there are only 4 places to sit on the deck
-lots of firewood but smoke doesn’t go up chimney very well. We tried twice and smoke kept coming into living room (yes, the damper was open!)
Bottom line: if I stayed here again, I would bring my own face cloths, hand towels and sheets. I would also bring whatever kitchen items I needed to be able to cook.
