There's no option for less than one star or this house would have received it. Before renting this place for my vacation, I did check the reviews for the property. There's a negative review by Kenneth S. dated June 9, 2015 highlighting the problems with the house that caught my attention, but since then I saw 4-5 very positive 5 star reviews after that, I thought the issues have been resolved.
Well to my surprise, this place is still a mess as described in the previous review. Everything line by line from the old review still applies to my review of the property as well. Just to add on to that, the property manager is not at all helpful when it comes to replying to emails, or communicating the RULES OF THE HOUSE in advance. I received a really long email from Mr. Adams, just 4 days before the actual vacation. There was no time for me to make alternate arrangements. Please read the following very carefully before renting out this place:
1. The stated price is NOT what you pay. Additional cleaning and processing fees are added, so expect to pay much more than you think.
2. You pay for what you get. This house is exactly just that, walls, floors, ceilings and doors. Absolutely nothing is included, and when I mean nothing, I really mean nothing. Standard cleaning items like garbage bags, dish soap, sponges or even a broom to tidy up are not included. There is an extra fee to use towels and linens so make sure you bring those as well. On the positive, there was not an additional fee to use the mattresses.
3. The person responsible for answering emails will only respond to emails if he has a positive response. This makes it exceedingly difficult to plan what to bring when a response to simple questions like "does the house have salt, pepper or sugar?" goes ignored. Well the answer to that question is "No." If you are considering this house for a stay (which I would not recommend), bring everything, except for shower curtains, shockingly those were included.
4. You are limited to two garbage bags, which shocker, you need to provide yourself. It is also strongly recommended that you carry your own trash when leaving. The instructions for garbage include separating out garbage from plastic, glass, and paper, although it is unclear if these three separate bags count against your limit of two.
I wish I could write more but unfortunately there's a character limit I have to abide by. Refer to Kenneth's review dated June 9 for more.
