All parties enjoyed the vacation & the house was large. No fuss home. Easy to keep tidy & low pressure since it far from pristine. We loved the location. Close to hikes & an easy drive to the tourist towns. Overall, we felt the price of the house even with the amenities (pool, hot tub) was not the best value. We loved the yard & giant kitchen table.
Problem #1: Property is not clean & a bit worn. We spent a bit of time wiping down surfaces & were not hindered in fun or relaxation, but we suspect there was no cleaning between rentals.
Examples:
•lots of hair in bathrooms
•extremely dirty windows & glass doors
•scents from other people’s perfume/ products in one bed
•litter around the exterior
•Plastic confetti in pool
•moldy shower curtains
•left over debris from last renters under couches, in corners
Problem #2: Service people showing up unannounced.
•our first day a cleaner showed up and asked to vacuum all the rugs & take pictures. We had a baby sleeping, a mother napping, and one adult watching kids in the pool. So it was inconvenient & strange, but also disruptive.
•easter morning during our brunch another person showed up to cut the grass. We had to stop and clean up our lawn toys & had the buzzing of the lawn mower as background noise for our well planned & executed holiday brunch. Very annoying.
•our 3rd morning chainsaw buzzing rattled the quiet morning for several hours, starting around 8 AM
