This was the message I sent to the owners to communicate some of the areas we thought should be addressed. For the price, it definitely wasn’t up to par. My message went unanswered...
Hello!
We just checked out this morning and wanted to touch base on the property. I know you said you have a company handling the rental for you, so I wanted to reach out directly instead of leaving a review.
We loved the privacy of your place and the amount of space it provided; however, we were disappointed in a few things and thought some others needed brought to your attention.
First, I think it should be clear that there is no air conditioning in the unit. That was quite surprising to find when we arrived. I think most people would make that assumption, and it’s not clear in the listing that it’s not available.
We were disappointed with the condition of some things, too. I’m not sure if it’s something the rental company should be handling for you, so wanted to mention. (I have photos if you’d like.) The decks could use some love. There were cobwebs all over the light fixtures and leaves piles everywhere. It doesn’t look like it’s been swept in awhile. The small storage cubby is just piled with leaves. There’s a molded cooler left on the deck that has beer inside dated 4 years ago! And under the decks, when you walk the property, there are chairs thrown, broken screens, etc. It doesn’t highlight the positives the house has going.
Inside, there’s a slow drip at the kitchen sink, there was a toilet paper holder missing from the wall of the upstairs bathroom (and the drywall dust is still sitting all over the baseboards- not really making us feel like the house is being cleaned well!), many large ants in the kitchen and bathrooms, tape on walls, cobwebs on light fixtures, etc.
We’re really not fussy people and travel often. We were still able to enjoy the area as a family, but I was definitely disappointed in the condition of the things mentioned. We work hard to take trips and this one fell short a bit.
Thought it was worth mentioning and you’d like to know.
