Our stay was unfortunately far from enjoyable. The moment we walked in, an overwhelming stench nearly made us gag. The source quickly became clear: the garage was piled with what seemed like weeks’ worth of garbage, and the smell permeated the entire house. It’s clear the trash had been there a long time, as there were even maggots crawling on the garage floor.
The house’s location also left much to be desired. It’s in a rough part of town, and the surrounding neighborhood feels completely different than southern pines/pinehurst. Across the street, a mattress, toilet, and crib were left rotting by the roadside, adding to the area’s unappealing atmosphere.
To be fair, the interior rooms were clean, and the beds themselves were comfortable. However, it was hard to sleep well with the persistent odor of old garbage filling the air. Although the basics of comfort were covered, the lack of upkeep and unpleasant environment really affected our stay. This property could be decent with proper maintenance, but until the cleanliness and area issues are addressed, I wouldn’t recommend it.
