This cute home has so much potential, but fell short in many areas. With a little TLC and a few finishing touches, I am sure it will shine. Our stay was still better than the average 2-3 star local hotels with kitchenettes though.
We stayed with 3 generations; my parents who are 69, me (47) and my daughter who is 6. We chose the home based on the accessible layout and the large backyard.
The good:
Cute neighborhood with gorgeous tree lined street
Large front and back yard
Home has recent updates
Close proximity to everything you could need for food, store, eating etc.
Comfy king bed in master and comfy full bed in 2nd room
Nicely stocked with kitchen amenities
Washer/Dryer
Clean bathrooms with shower supplies
AC works wonderfully
The Not-So-Good
No instructions whatsoever or welcome info anywhere upon checking in or out
The home looks to be a work in progress - Hole in ceiling for wired lights, missing bulbs in fixtures, ceiling vents hanging off the ceiling, paint splatters on mirrors, windows and other areas as if the painter didn’t finish or clean up the work.
Each room has a remote controlled new ceiling fan with a light; all identical…here’s the issue - every remote controls every room - so people are turning your light on and off from another room while you’re sleeping, but with their own remote. They’re all on the same frequency. We simply shut off all wall switches but that meant we couldn’t use the fans.
The cleaning company missed a lot - cobwebs in every corner and light fixture, moldy keurig with old pod in it, and filthy trash can that smelled and was covered in grime
No properly fitting window covers in bathrooms
None of the doors close properly and some don’t stay shut at all - very old home and the bedroom doors need adjusting. You have to shove them shut with considerable force, which wakes everyone up any time you need the restroom.
No TP holder, hooks for towels and no trash can in master bath - with a sign not to flush any feminine products, there really needs to be trash cans
Barn Door to master bath is missing stopper so it slides off with use
Sofa recliner features were broken
Slow Roku speed - there was an antennae but it was still slow
Gorgeous backyard but not usable - overgrown, no furniture or light, and fire pit filled with weeds
Home smells of mildew
Not enough supplies for a 10 day stay for 4 people
No hangers
Super hard mattress in 3rd room
Need chair or bench in master would be helpful for seniors
