The property is beautiful and large. It has the capability to house many guests and be a great retreat for a large gathering. There were a number of issues. The listing does not indicate that the property is not fully ready for guests at this time and should have been more upfront with the details of basic missing items.
1. There is no kitchen table and chairs or any barstools for the counter seating in the kitchen to be able to eat at a table. Adults may be able to balance a plate on their laps to eat but this proved difficult for the small children we had with us.
2. There are no sheet pans for baking on and no toaster.
3. Most of the kitchen items, glassware, pots, griddle, etc still had the labels on them. We had to remove labels and packaging in order to cook with the pans.
4. The dishwashers are not level and it was difficult to load and unload them as the racks come crashing out. One had to be wary as toes would be smashed by the handles of the dishwasher as it comes down fast and with force.
5. One of the dishwashers had dirty pots and plates left in it.
6. The oven had an extremely dirty pan and burnt on griddle that took a day to soak to get clean.
7. One fridge had leftover pizza in it and the coffee maker had old coffee in it.
8. Many of the beds did not have proper sheets on them. Some had no mattress protecters and other had the wrong sized mattress protector. Others had no sheets and only a thin blankets on them. We had to search for bedding and make beds up in order to sleep.
9. One bed, when entered had a previous guests dirty socks in between the sheets. This would indicated that the sheets were used and not cleaned. This is unacceptable and totally gross.
10. There were 4 regular sized bath towels, but all the rest were not much bigger than a hand towel. One knows it is bad when the tiny six year old comments “This is so small and cold.”
11. There were wet sheets in the dryer and wet towels in one of the washing machines.
12. The worst was the the entire house was not cleaned properly which included the bathrooms. All bathrooms had urine, hair, poop, dirt on and in every toilet. Toothpaste, random red goop and scum on every counter and in the sinks. The showers were not cleaned. We spent the first hour in the rental house with five of us deep cleaning every bathroom so we could use them.
