The house and yard worked great for our family, and for friends that visited.
However, upon arriving and entering, i was very unhappy with the cleanliness. I spent 2-2.5 hrs cleaning everything in the kitchen, including washing down cabinets and such of past food spills down everything, throwing out leftover food in refrigerator and cabinets so we could make room for our own stuff. Inside cabinets were filthy and had so much of someone elses pantry items that I definitely would not use!
Also cleaned the bathrooms (including shower floor) before setting up our things.
Floors in the entire house were barely swept and no vacuuming was done on rugs.
I highly recommend not having so many of your personal chochkeys sitting around, as it takes up space that we could use as renters with all of our necessities. Plus, children love to touch and play with everything
The outside area is very condusive, as there is a nice size deck and large outdoor table and chairs. It would be nice if the trees by the table were trimmed back a little so we didnt get hit on the head with them! The little beach area was great for the kids, and the lawn size is great for playing games.
The pedal boat could use alot of maintenance, as it seems to be falling apart.
Thank you for having a descent washer and dryer...very important.
The large picnic style table in the dining area is wonderful, too!
