Great location, wonderfully tucked away and secluded property. Home was clean, pool was clean, kiddos loved the arcade games, and we had a wonderful quick getaway before school starts. Thanks for letting us build some memories in the home, we really enjoyed the stay!
Not a great experience at all. Fire ants inside and out. Cabinet on the stove side has a hole behind a picture that had swarms of fire ants coming in. I spent everyday fighting them. Sticker burs all over the yard, the kids could not even play in the fenced yard due to the amount of them. Inside there were tons of them stuck in the rug and all in the furniture covers. Floors had been swept but not mopped because my grandbabies feet were extremely dirty from walking around barefoot inside. Dishwasher had standing water and smelled like ruined shrimp. Could not use the garbage disposal because it smelled so bad. Game room would not stay cool window units in there do not work well.Back shower does not drain had to shower in standing water. Furniture covers and rug were dirty/stained. Chairs in the dining room had chocolate melted in the wicker. The wicker chairs were in really bad shape. Broken with pieces sticking out. Air vents constantly dripping in the dining area we had to keep a towel down so no one would slip and fall. The back yard on the far side of the pool had pieces of tin lined up which was hazardous if we needed to get balls or pool toys blown over by the wind. There were 2 positives to our stay. The beds were comfortable however we were not sure why there was a window screen between the mattresses on one of the king beds, and no really close neighbors so no one was bothered if our dogs barked.
