Positives: We booked this house last minute, and the owners were quick to respond and accommodating. The golf cart in the garage was working and it was enjoyable to ride around the community. The house included many basic supplies like toilet paper, tissues, and dish soap. The air conditioning units in each room were quiet and comfortable.
Negatives: We have rented many houses in the past, and have been impressed with the cleanliness, organization, and care that had been taken to give the renters a good experience. This house had quite a few small issues that made our stay less enjoyable. First, storage for renters was minimal. All of the kitchen cabinets were full, leaving us nowhere to put our food. Bedroom closets and bathroom cabinets were mostly full as well, so there was minimal room for our clothes and toiletries. Also, we felt that the house was not cleaned well. For example, the stove griddle was full of grease, and there was garbage and food under the bunk beds. Other things were lack of curtains on many windows, missing light bulbs in lamps, missing batteries in remotes, holes in multiple walls, and the downstairs closet doors falling off. These are all small things that with a little attention could make a more positive experience for renters. I’m mentioning them not to complain, but to inform people so they know what to expect. If you are ok with those things, then this will be a good house for you. For us, it did not feel like a home away from home.
