Nice Big Open Floor Plan

We had a good time at this place. The pictures make it look a little nicer than actual but the layout is good for large group. A couple minor things could make this place perfect. They only give you a small amount of toilet paper and paper towel to get you started. The pool heater wasn’t always working but when it did, the pool was nice. Outdoor lighting by the pool is little to none and I think that would help the outdoor area tremendously. Neighborhood is a little rough to go through but no issue with the neighbor's.

Decent house in a quiet neighborhood

The house is nice inside and setup well for short term rentals. There are a couple small things that could be improved upon but overall everything worked. The exterior of the house and pool deck was in acceptable condition but would absolutely shine if they put the same effort that was put into the inside (even though the pool is starting to fall apart it was very nice having one). Very nice quiet neighborhood that's kinda off the beaten path but still close enough to everything.

Awful property!!!

Filthy dirty, no hot water in the kitchen, pool area disgusting and pool green with algae and not usable, slippery unsafe concrete “ramp” to enter property, blood on shower curtain, washer loaded with dirt and never cleaned. Highly disappointed in this stay.

no power

on our arrival there was no power and after being lied to for over 5 hours, the right person was contacted and paid the power bill....also they were suppose to refund us 2 nights stay but not sure if thats happened or not ..the house is nice inside but the house directly beside it looks like a junk yard and the people next door were yelling at each other so loud one night that we could hear them inside our house.....the dad, I guess got so mad at other family members that he spray painted a vulgar message on the side of a trailer that was in the yard. we were afraid of what might happen at any time.
