The location was wonderful with surrounding amenities galore. The house is grand and is exceptionally well stocked. The hostess was very communicative and thoughtful in her gifts, presentation, and item preparation.New towels, kitchen linens, and phone chargers were left for us as were gifts of wine and fruit in lovely displays on our arrival.
However, the house was very dirty despite the owner's efforts to clean for 3 days before we arrived. The kitchen was the worst with grimey cupboards and drawers. Spills that hadn't been cleaned and crumb filled drawers were abundant. The area under the counter cutting board was filthy as was the garbage bin areas.
Thick dust covered areas that weren't easily reachable. Rims of some toilets had not been attended to in a long while. The floor was superficially cleaned only. Sand, dirt, dog kibble,dog hair and dust were prominent especially under small area rugs or easily moveable furniture. High touch wall areas near handles and light switches were filthy. Baseboards were thick with dirt. The stairs were very dirty. There was broken glass on the garage floor.
It took many hours of cleaning throughout our stay to feel somewhat comfortable in there. We did not dare turn on the furnace not wanting to stir up more dust. Night time temps were down to 43F.
This place could be stunning however the lack of cleanliness affected our enjoyment. Granted it is large and on water but better upkeep is essential to rent at that pricepoint!
