Phil, the owner, seems like a nice guy and I hope this review helps him to improve his customer's experience and his business. The property is spacious with a large deck with a good view. However, it seems like Phil needs some help with making the guests feel comfortable. These are the things that could be better:
First thing we notice when we checked in was that there was just half a roll of toilet paper between two bathrooms, so we had to leave right away and get more toilet paper. Phil did apologize for this.
The towels/napkins were a assortment of old multicolored left overs. I have never seen this in any property I have stayed at.
Clean/fresh white towels would have been nice.
Couch in the living room where the TV is located, is ripped. Something, most people won't have in their home.
Kitchen microwave was dirty with red stuff splattered all over, seems like it was not cleaned from previous use. Toaster burnt half of the toast, the other half was OK.
There were a total of 3 old assorted utensils in the kitchen, only one had a cover. Seemed like something picked up at a yard sale. I had to use a baking pan to cover a frying pan. Salt/pepper shaker was empty. Salt and pepper are the most basic things ins should expect in a kitchen. Sugar was in a plastic bag bought from the store. Coffee container was empty, we had to pick up coffee the first night. Kitchen had a total of three trash bags.
Bathroom had no soap/shampoo/bodywash. Luckily we had brought our own soap. Shower did not even have soap caddy or a place on the shower to put the soap. We had to leave it on the shower floor. Shower head height is 5', 6", so even for a short person like me, I had to duck to wash my hair. One of the two towel hangers on the door was missing.
Out of the dozen or so vacation rentals, I have stayed in during the past two years, this was the worst experience.
I have pictures to prove everything. I hope Phil can fix these things for the next guests.
