We were really hopeful for a stay that was depicted in the listing photos. What we got was less than that. The location was great and the outside was nice. The swings, chairs and dock were very enjoyable in the afternoons. We were however extremely disappointed in the accuracy of the listing. At no point was it ever indicated that one bedroom and one bathroom were in the downstairs portion of the house and totally separate from each other. Also one of the "bedrooms" is connected to the master bedroom and would have been awkward if it was needed.In the main area of the home the floor is downright dangerous. There are several pieces of flooring that are lifting and one person of our party did end up hurting her foot on one of these pieces. Its something that needs to be addressed immediately. The internet is horrible, do not plan on using it for much of anything especially streaming anything. We also discovered many of the outlets dont work unless you flip a switch. One wouldnt work unless the light was left on. The water in one of the showers is backwards, meaning you need to turn it to cold to get hot water. The kitchen is not well stocked at all with basic necessities. Our kids were excited about the game room and were disppointed that the majority of the arcade machines were not working. The arcade room was also downstairs disconnected from the main part of the house. Overall while the house did work for our needs we were very disappointed in what we got.

I can describe my stay in 4 words- Maggots, Water Damage, and Mold. We left after the first night. Wish we could have gotten out sooner. Stay at your own risk.

Liked: Cleanliness
The house itself is in a great location. The back yard, pool, porch and overall size of the house was perfect for what we were looking for. The washer and dryer were extremely convenient and the more open floor plan make it very comfortable for large groups. We loved the large kitchen and spent a lot of our time on the porch. There is also a restaurant within a 3 minute walk that has a nice atmosphere and outside, pet friendly patio that we went to multiple times. Unfortunately there are some issues we ran into. The bedroom listed next to the game room on the ground level is basically unusable as it smells heavily of mold and mildew. We ended up not being able to use it at all and had to rearrange the rooms in the main area to accommodate our group. Also, the water pressure in the two ensuite bathrooms are connected to the bathroom in the hallway. If someone is in the shower in one of the other bathrooms and someone flushes the toilet in the hallway bathroom, the water shuts completely off in the shower briefly and has to heat up again. It is very obvious that this house was bought and turned into a rental property as there are essentially no closets.
