Friends get-a-way

It was wonderful having the space to spread out and have our own room; large gathering space in the living/dining room and the kitchen was functional. If your’re looking for a very modern contemporary place, this is NOT it. But if you are a group or family looking to spend time together, this may be perfect! It’s older and a bit worn but you don’t have to worry about every little move you make might cause damage. It’s pretty basic.

The stay was just enough for me and my group! The convenience of the location in a quiet setting made it even better. It wasn’t crowded with other homes in the area and gave us that country Carolina feeling.

Meh

This property needs some serious love. It is an odd shaped large house, with some issues. Their is a distinct smell of mold in the house. The light directly over one of the beds is filled with brown water. The back sliding door didn't close properly. The bed in the back room needs the frame fixed and the mattress thrown away. Each time my husband or I moved the whole frame made noise and felt very unstable. The mattress was so uncomfortable, I chose to sleep on the couch cushions on the floor the second night. We all felt the need to wear socks at all times because the floor felt "swiffer" clean...The ickyness of the house is particularly annoying because I was required to pay 125 in a cleaning fee. The good part of this rental was the price and the proximity to the highway. We only stayed for a quick weekend trip, and that was enough.

Can't get in property

Horrible experience. We arrived after a late flight and the door code would not open the lock. We tried to reach the owner but got sent to voice mail. Reached out to VRBO and they could not reach the owner either. Had to find alternate place to stay for the night. Finally heard from the owner and got a second code. Went to the property the next day and that code did not work either. Called the owner and got a 3rd "master" code. That did not work either. Told him that he needed to get to the property. Arrived and he could not open the door either. Had a fistful of keys and none of them worked either. He went to try the back door. We told him we were cancelling and wanted a refund. I have never had an occasion where the property owner did not reach out on the day of arrival to confirm that we got in and everything was satisfactory until this one. This was ridiculous. There was never an apology. Beware!

beware!

We looked at this property on VRBO and never even booked and they charged us over $600. We made the owner aware immediately before the stay was even supposed to start and they ignored all communication then stated we were beyond the point of cancelation. No refund even though we never booked the place. They even charged a cleaning fee for a booking that never happened. I would not have anything to do with this owner.

Fair

This property is in need of updated pictures. They didn't truly reveal the properties outdated decor and the many imperfections. There was mold in the master bath. The counter top was in need of repair. There was dirt around the ceiling vents in the bedrooms. We give it a 2 out of 5 with 5 being the best. It needs an update desperately. We were grateful for the convience of being near family but I would not recommend this property nor stay here again.

Big house

I did buy a few things to make our stay more comfortable (laundry basket, forks, sheets for the pull out sofas, and some plastic table wear for the kids), but other than that, it was great. The kitchen appliances all worked well, and the AC was very responsive. The smart TV's worked well, and the backyard did attract butterflies! We really enjoyed the screened in porch at the back. The owner was very attentive, and we had a good experience.

The house was in the right location for us. The AC was cold! The house is spacious. The only cons were dirty dishes in the cupboards, no hand towels in the kitchen and no working washing machine.

Great Space!

This was a great space in which to stay. With 4 bedrooms, it was perfect for our family group. We loved the set up and the back patio was awesome! I do have to mention there were some issues with the AC, but the property manager did stay in communication with us while troubleshooting. There is also some stagnant water in a bird bath by the front door, which attracted a lot of mosquitos. Overall, we really enjoyed the space. :)
