Disliked: Cleanliness

Lots of deer

We’ll start with the positives: owner was responsive to questions and concerns; location was a short walk to The Island where we could watch the sunset over the water. Beyond that it was, sadly, a disappointment. The front yard/entry was overgrown so the entry path wasn’t useable. The house itself is dated and shows obvious wear, and hadn’t been used in a while. There were clumps of dust in the corners, burrs in the carpet, old, mismatched, dirty dishes & glasses and so much mold in the master shower it was unusable. Lights were missing bulbs, there were flickering lights in the entry, the master bed was horribly sagging & creaky, there were only 2 bath towels & 2 very flimsy smaller towels, no hangers anywhere, the appliances need maintenance, the outdoor furniture was too dirty to use & the backyard was not as pictured. Overall, the experience was not nearly worth the price.

Needs a fenced in backyard

I thought there was a fenced back yard, but there was not. The inside of the home was very nice and comfortable. The outside needs work.

Adequate

Outside was unkept. Inside was clean. Couch and beds were very uncomfortable. Bedding was very poor quality. Deer were the highlight.
