Cleaning
The house was ok it could have been cleaner and the tv in the master bedroom was so small we had to sit on the edge of the bed just to watch tv ! It’s only 2 tv in the house the other bedrooms do not have a tv ! The bathtub had black stuff all at the bottom of it ! The refrigerator needs to be cleaner as well.whoever is responsible for cleaning this house need to do a better job it was so much dust and dirt under the couches!

A decent place to stay
Overall was a good place to stay. I would recommend more tv’s. There were only 2 that was one in the living room and the other in the master bedroom and we had kids with us. They did not have sheets for the sofa bed, if they had them we could not find them. Lots of scuff marks on the wall. Again just little minor things that would have made it a 5-star stay.Overall a decent stay and I would return.

Not the cleanest
This house was dirty. I had to clean the bathrooms when we got there. The floors were also dirty. The sheets in the master bedroom had hair in them. I notified the property manager and they did bring us clean sheets. The check in process was more time consuming because the links sent were not accessible. The house was decent for the location.

Neighborhood
Unfortunately we were unable to stay at this property for more than 10 minutes. Upon arrival in the driveway we were greeted with a large bit bull dog barking ferocious at us.When pulling in the neighborhood, there were people walking in the streets & car blocking the road. We were a group of women & child going on a weekend trip @ felt uncomfortable staying in this neighborhood.. The pictures of the house on Vrbo were very nice, it didn’t show the neighbors house with bars on the windows & cars broke down next to driveway.

Needs TLC
The property is in need of a lot of love. The king size bed is completely broken in and needs replaced, the cleaning crew does not pay attention to details, fire detectors not in place throughout the house, several dings and marks on the walls, only one spoon to use in the kitchen, the shower in the guest bathroom doesn't drain properly and we had to completely clean out the inside of the washer before we could use it.

We enjoyed the convenience of where the property was located - it was close to most of the attractions we wanted to visit, however, it is not in the best area. It was hard to get in contact with the property manager - never received a response. We enjoyed the space of the home - it was just right for my family. We wished that the tv in the master bedroom worked and there was a better bed in the master bedroom. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! Just a few updates are needed.

Overpriced for what you get
The location was within a 10 minute drive of the regatta downtown, which was great! However, there definitely was not enough linens and towels for the maximum listed number of guests that the listing claims, and the mattresses were not very comfortable. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook a dinner together and do laundry after our races, which was great. However, for lack of comfortable sleeping options, we will likely not stay here again.
