Overall good, but really needs cleaning and some minor fixes
The location and house size worked well for our group. The kids really enjoyed the heated pool in the unseasonably chilly weather. The biggest issue we had was just how dirty the house was. The bed sheets, towels, an bathrooms were all clean, but the floor throughout and the kitchen required some extensive cleaning. I even had to buy cleaning products, because there weren't any. Rather than spend my vacation scrubbing floors, we did a minimum floor cleaning and just made sure to wear something on our feet. It was so dirty, that the kids' bare feet were black within 30 min of being in the house. The kitchen took a couple of hours to clean. I did bring this to the owner's attention. The owner was communicative when needed, but didn't say more than "thanks" about the cleaning issue. Second, the master bed was in pieces. We had to remove the mattress and reinsert the support boards more than once. We weren't going to go to the effort of actually fixing it, but we made it work. The house is in need of some repairs, but mostly minor. The backyard lights didn't work at all and there were some exposed wires where a light used to be on the back patio. Several outlets had loose fittings and one had no cover at all - fortunately, it wasn't accessible to the toddler with us. One of the screens in the front bedroom was broken and just propped in the sill, and the middle bathroom TP holder needs fixing. The house did suit our needs for the week and the pool/backyard were great; however, overall, it was expensive considering the cleaning we had to do and the minor repairs needed.
