Renting almost all of July 2022 was a Fiasco. We left 4 days early. The home is very poorly maintained inside and out. The Owner/Host was difficult to reach & offered a lot of lip service but got almost nothing fixed. The description about the home in the ad is deceptive especially about all the amenities available. Nothing is Luxury. Nothing is New. Actually, the kitchen appliances (dated 2013) all need significant repairs. The dish washer flooded the kitchen; the laundry dryer door is ready to fall off the hinge and hard to lock; the ice maker is broker; the freezer & refrigerator light are broken; the gas oven took 1 hour to reach 350 degrees; the AC barely worked in master bedroom, master bath, office, kitchen and dining room; many upstairs windows are inoperable; the cable TV/netflix/amazon constantly freezes ; we found expired fire extinguishers dated 2013, 2014 and 1995 and also one totally empty ( used?) extinguisher; there are wires hanging from ceiling where 6 smoke detectors apparently should have been installed; we had incessant beeping on several occasions from the ADT security alarm that isn’t connected to remote monitoring; the towels, kitchen mitts, linens, duvet cover were bleached stained, torn and worn out; one fireplace protective glass section is missing.
I am stopping here but there was more.
I have attached 10 photos since you may think I am exaggerating. Nearly every single thing in this advertised as new, luxury estate home needs to be replaced, repaired or at the very least refreshed. One group of guests ( family of 5) that planned to stay for the weekend but decided not to spend even one night since the mildew odor was so intense in the basement bedrooms/living area.
We purchased for ourselves some pots, pans, towels, a CO2 smoke detector, a toaster, batteries for flashlights, and non slip strips for stairs. Only the non strip slips remain for another rentor.
We have rented vacation homes for over 20 years and this was hands down our worst experience.
We would never stay in any property owned by this Owner.
Forewarned is forearmed.
