very good

We liked the house very much, just one thing I would have liked if they had a mop to mop the floor, in case it gets wet, otherwise everything was very good and met our expectations.👍👍

Touch points

Very nice, although I think some attention needs to be given to cleaning the "touch points". Light switches and door knobs in particular.

Very Mixed Experience

Overall, we had a good time at the property. There were however a few items that we found to be troublesome. Upon arriving, my wife found a plate of food and a fork left in the refrigerator. The stove top also had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. I found that the grill at the house also had not been cleaned or apparently used for quite some time. It should not have been listed as an amenity. We also noticed that there were what appeared to be cameras in the TV room and the master bedroom. I don't recall the VRBO description or the rental agreement specifying that they existed. We don't know that they were in use during our stay. If they were, I consider that an invasion of our privacy. The location of the house was very good and the overall condition of the property was very good as well.
