I am an avid vacation home renter and I have never had such a frustrating experience. There is literally nothing in the way of kitchen supplies, no place to store your food item (except out on the counters), and the heater consistently malfunctions. The pull out sofa upstairs was a complete disaster, definitely unusable as it slopes straight down and has a massive crater in the middle. Was kind of like sleeping on a waterbed half full?!
We had to buy EVERYTHING to make a meal—including aluminum foil, salt and pepper, oil, etc. There was absolutely nothing in the kitchen aside from some dish soap (which we were surprised to find). The pans/pots were so difficult to use for basic breakfast cooking (eggs stuck to pan despite all efforts, and cast iron pan was basically useless for pancakes bc it is bent and had hot spots, burning half of the pancake). I’m no chef, but I can scramble eggs and make pancakes—except for in this kitchen. Forget it. Bring bagels and order pizza.
This house has so many rules and there are signs posted everywhere so you don’t forget them. Makes you feel like you’re in a boarding school versus enjoying your vacation. And don’t forget to wash all of your towels and linens before you leave 🙄. Seriously?! Who has time for that?!
Isn’t that what the cleaning fee is for?
I found this place to be habitable, but not enjoyable, as I couldn’t sleep on the pull out, couldn’t cook a decent meal, the heat stopped working twice In two days, and I was too concerned about breaking a rule to relax and enjoy myself. Would not rent again. Not my kind of vacation home.
