Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The property is a great setup for a large family, the beds were very comfortable, and the kids had a blast using the kayaks. We would absolutely consider staying here again because the location and layout were exactly what we were looking for.
There were a few areas that could be improved. At check-in, I had to reach out to request the door code because it hadn’t been sent automatically. It also took some time to locate information about the property since most of it was posted on a bulletin board inside the house. In my experience with other vacation rentals, that information is usually sent before arrival, so the check-in process felt less seamless than expected. I also wish a more secure, unique door code had been assigned for our stay, as it didn’t inspire much confidence from a security standpoint.
The biggest issue was the cleanliness. The home wasn’t unsanitary, but it was overdue for a thorough deep cleaning. There was an abundance of alive and dead bugs throughout the house, including a blanket behind the couch that was covered in them. We also ran into a few maintenance issues, a shower door that didn’t fully close & rocked while in use, one of the stove burners wasn’t working, & doors with testy locks.
None of these issues ruined our trip, and we genuinely enjoyed the property. However, for the price point, I expected a higher standard of cleanliness and a bit more attention to maintenance and the guest experience.
