Overall, we were able to enjoy the peaceful setting and unwind which was the goal. However, the property needs some work to meet minimum expectations for a property at this price point.
-the kitchen oven, cupboards, flooring, microwave, dishwasher were all filthy. Food particles were found on dishes, roaches were found along baseboards and in the cupboards over the microwave. This was supposed to be the ventilation we think but it is in need of repairs as it isn't venting anything.
Sheets were dirty with hair and smelled of perfume in the middle of the pillows. Although the owner had a cleaning person come, she said the perfume we smelled on the pillows was fabric softener. Then she didn't even take the pillow cases off for us to put newly washed sheets on. She also stated the cupboards needed paint. We wiped them down ourselves and removed the food.
The koi pond and dock were nice enough. There isn't a lack of remote controls and the overall upkeep on the property needs to be addressed.
We ended up not using the grill even after replacing the exploding battery in the ignitor only to find there was no propane left in the tank. Again, at this price, my expectations were not met.
I appreciate the owners communication and attempt to fix things but in the end, I don't want to arrive at my vacation to wait on things to be corrected. It should just be ready to go.
