We loved the house itself and the character. One of the reasons we rented this particular place is because of our dogs. The advertisement showed a small side yard with grass, a BBQ grill, a small dining table and a fenced yard. When we arrived we were very disappointed to see grass that was 1.5- 2 feet tall, multiple large weeds growing and some were 6 ft tall (used my height as a reference) and the weeds could be seen over the fence line. The fence was rotted and falling apart. We could not access the BBQ or the the table, nor could we sit out in the yard. Our dogs had minimal safe space to run and use the bathroom.
The back patio had pavers and ivy/ vine growth which was fine excpet for the fact that there were building materials covered by a tarp, yard debris, beach items, etc. It was also concerning that the neighboring rental space had door/ gate access (which they used) to our patio space which again was unsafe for our dogs and intrusive upon out privacy.
Again, we loved the house and the character and will say give this place a try with exception of the yard/ patio space.
