• Limited amenities, do not recommend

  2/5

  The house was very clean and nice but there was a major lack of amenities. When coming in, most toilets were out of toilet paper and only had 1 roll for the 4 bathrooms. Ended up having to buy a pack to use. No hand towels in the house. Came with half a roll of paper towels. Provided with no trash bags and had to buy some for the house in order to take the trash out. No one parked in the garage because it reeked of garbage due to the overflow of trash into the cans. The house itself did not feel very homey and felt very thrown together just for the rental money. It provided a place to sleep but other than that I would not recommend it. Maybe for a night it would be okay, but not for several days with a larger group like we did.

  4/5

  We celebrated a graduation, toured Washington, and relaxed. We were even surprised by a fireworks display. The home was situated in a nice neighborhood. There were shops and stores close by. The home was really big, so our family of eight enjoyed all the space. Complaints I would give it, the dishwasher was full of dirty moldy dishes when we arrived. I called and they immediately said someone was coming, but the cleaners never showed up. I called back, they said someone was on the way. I called again, they asked if someone could come the next day. I that point, I refused the cleaners coming, because we were leaving the following day. If you plan on booking this home, bring extra towels and buy some plates, cups, and coffee cups. The kitchen is very limited on cooking "things". Positives, beautiful home, very spacious, lots of bathrooms, and in a great location.

• Lovely Property

  5/5

  My family enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. There was plenty of room for our family of five. The beds were comfortable except one, my daughter said it was too hard lol. The separate office was great since I had to do a little work while I was there.

  I do recommend adding TVs in the bedrooms and nightstands on both sides of the bed in the primary suite. We did have a few problems that I hope the homeowner fixes.

  1. Something was throwing the breaker which cut off the lights in the dining room, hot water and the outside light to the back yard. I would have liked for someone to come check out this issue while we were at the property.

  2. Cleaning supplies - there was no detergent for the dishwasher. No mop or bucket. It rained and there was no way to get the water off the floor but with paper towels. The broom was locked in a closet with no dustpan, I had to email guest services to get the key to unlock the closet. I do have to say their response was quick.

  3. Kitchen supplies - there were no oven pans. I needed to cook cornbread and had to purchase a pan.

  4. The outlet in the primary suite by the bed did not work. I had to plug my CPAP machine in the wall by the window stretching the cord as far as it could go and had to set it on a book because there was no nightstand on that side of the bed.

  These were minor things that will not keep me from staying at this property again. Thank you for allowing my family to stay at your property.
