This property is not "by Owner" but by a property company... and it shows by the wear and tear and lack of upkeep on this house.
We saw all the negative reviews reflected by previous renters in our own experience. Our major issues with the home:
- Decking not safe for children, we had to ban them from touching railings after splinters. Outdoor shower does not work properly.
- Flooring in home was not level and sloped in the main area - can also see the support defects from outside of the home too. Flooring is uneven, damaged, and carpets riddled with stains.
- Kitchen: Ceiling did have a lot of food stains, much of the assorted kitchen wear was not clean. Pretty sure the dishwasher was not doing much - had to run it several times when we did not hand-wash.
- Beds are not comfortable and creaky. Pillows are flat and bedding was quite worn. Master bedroom door does not close and makes a horrid creaking noise when opening. A lot of the bedroom drawers were already broken and showing heavy wear. Weirdly, the main door goes through the twin bedroom, and not through an entrance area.
- Only white towels were provided, no beach towels. Kitchen is NOT stocked with anything outside of half full salt and pepper shakers, one bottle of oil, a few dishwasher packs, and dishsoap. There are a few rolls of cheapie Paper towels and two rolls of TP in all the bathrooms.
- Basement smells of water damage (but does have a new washer and dryer) - DO NOT depend on the futons in the basement for sleeping arrangements!
We have VOWED never to stay in another home that is managed by a company. The lack of care and maintenance of this home is obvious the moment you walk in. I would not recommend renting this home.
