Summer Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Staff at Hollis was awesome as usual. Unfortunately, unit 314 needs some attention by the owners. Damaged appliances, paint chipping and pealing, everything is outdated. The unit was dirty. The AC unit wasn’t functioning, however that was due to a clogged drain and not a fault of the owner. Having maintenance in our room several times a day for 5 days wasn’t a great experience.
