My extended family stayed at this property for 3 nights the week after Christmas. For full transparency, I was satisfied enough with the house. It definitely had its drawbacks, such as the overpowering mothball smell of the 3rd floor (impossible to sleep without the windows open, and caused concerning burning in nose and throat), lack of wifi (Not listed on listing, but was listed as available on the confirmation), and the lack of clear water in the pool, but it was not enough to affect my overall enjoyment, nor my children's. However, my inlaws were a different story. They were very dissatisfied with the overall condition of the property, and if you are staying with people who are on the pickier side, this may be one to avoid.
Concerns as follows: Non working smoke detectors (either out of batteries or non-functioning) and a lack of co detectors. Concerns about Lights dimming on and off. Heavy mildew smell and noticeable black mold in the pool area. Some showers had mold issues as well. Unsafe placement of dehumidifier in the pool area, and wire exposed from where it was being closed in the door. Black soot around the perimeter of the room vents (leading to CO concerns about no detectors). Additionally the gutters were overflowing and walkways outside had loose stones making for dangerous conditions for elderly guests.
Other non-safety concerns;
Master bedroom on the 2 floor had some kind of rodent living behind the wall that was scratching and making noise early in the morning and late in the evening (making many sleepless hours). The carpet is stained and in dire need of cleaning throughout the house.
We've stayed in a fair amount of VRBO's and similar and we get it. It's tough to make updates when something is making good money and staying occupied, but there are a lot of concerns with this property, and I don't think it's too many steps away from generating some real disappointment. Book with caution, it's possible to have an acceptable stay here, but only if you have fairly permissive standars.
