The house was clean, comfortable, and I appreciated the fenced backyard for my dog. The reason for 4 stars overall is that it was very lacking in basic staples like plastic wrap, dish soap, and a few spices. There wasn't even salt & pepper! In all of the 20+ vacation rentals I've stayed in, the hosts understood that visitors don't want to stock all of the basics when only a small amount is needed for the stay. Normally we see what is there, then shop for the few things needed, like laundry soap or a spice. What we don't use we leave behind, paying it forward for other guests. For this stay, we had to buy everything, use the tiny bit needed, then pack it up because we were told they didnt want us to leave anything for next guests. We found this very inconvenient.
