Our family had a wonderful time in this rental home. The instructions provided for check-in, wifi, and clean up were all clear and provided promptly. The front door code box was not working, but the owner knew this and provided another way to unlock the property. Even with a few undisclosed details and improper room listing, I gave our visit 5 stars because it did not distract from our ability to enjoy a family gathering and have a great time together. It is evident that the host spent a great amount of time thinking of the comforts and needs of her guests. We gathered in January for a post Christmas gift exchange with family. Our host had all the Christmas decorating up and a tree. This was an unexpected but delightful sunrise. It made our get-together that much more merrier.
I have made a full list of the perks and advisories of this home below.
Pros:
•Big open living room and dining areas, lots of space for gathering.
•Great covered patio with lots of seating.
•Communication from the owner is excellent.
•Well decorated space with care and attention to details.
•Keirig coffee maker, espresso machine, extra sheets, bathroom ammenadies, extra towels, and blankets.
•Crib and high chair on site.
•Primary king bedroom is huge and sweetly furnished.
•Convenient location to stores and activities.
•Very quiet neighborhood.
•A coffee bar was set up with sweeteners and creamers.
Advisories:
•House was clean but not deep cleaned. Cobwebs and dust in every room.
•Listed with 5 rooms. The queen room does not have a door, so it does not qualify as a room but as a loft. I would have made different sleeping arrangements with one of my couples had I known. The loft room with two twin beds has a sort of door that does not truly seal.
•The queen room is listed with a pull out couch. It is not a pull out couch. It is just a couch.
•The stairs to both the loft twins and the queen are not elderly friendly and are in part of the house that was an addition, so it has low ceilings. Use these rooms for teens or pre-teens.
•The angle on the stairs for the twin loft will not be suitable for toddlers.
•If you plan to make pancakes, bring your own griddle.
•You can feel the house is not level, there are problems with some doors not opening and others that will not close properly to lock (bathroom).
•The cookware provided has been well used by other guests. If you want a skillet that has a non-stick surface, bring one from home or make a run to Wal-Mart as we did.
