Liked: Cleanliness
Listing is not clear. There were other guests that showed up during our trip that apparently rented out another section of the home? We then had to share the yard, firepit, grill and dock. This was never communicated to us and when reaching out to the owner, he stopped answering phone calls and text messages. Also, his voicemail box was full so we couldn't leave a message. Blackstone was rusted and could not use without 2 hours of cleaning. Broken toaster, no outside seating. Host said to bring inside chairs outside. Very disappointed in the host and lack of communication about the site. I do not recommend this Host or property to anyone. It was a shock to 11 more people show up randomly at our site.
