We stayed at this property with a group of friends and young children. This property has a lot of “pros”:
-Beautiful location- the view off of the deck was lovely
-Secluded from general traffic and public
-Lots of bedroom options with adequate bathrooms; can sleep a large group comfortably
-Indoor pool for hot summer days
Unfortunately, there were also some issues that made us not want to return with our small children:
-Numerous safety hazards inside and out- my toddler found a bunch of wood screws in the foyer, space of balusters could easily fit a child’s whole body, areas that should have safety railings without them, cleaning supplies and tools left scattered about the home inside and out, exposed wires, etc. etc.
-There was no lock on the front door- check in was easy because of this; all you do is open the door! Unfortunately, that means anyone could also do that!
-There is a dog that wanders around the property- not in the listing.
-While not listed in the listing when we booked, the owner lives a stone’s throw from the property, and you will see him a LOT. He came into the pool house while we were swimming and was often seen on the house’s deck and on the grounds directly around the house. It was very off putting.
-The house was very dusty, had plenty of cobwebs, and we had to scrub the kitchen upon arrival.
Normally, when I see only a handful of bad reviews, I assume the bad ones are from people who are unrealistic- but in this case, I was wrong!
