As with many properties today, the photos oversell the reality. Overall, this house is decent, with the swimming pool being its best feature. The kids really enjoyed the slide. However, the rest of the house shows its age, something that photos often donāt capture. There are several small issues that, if addressed, could significantly improve the experience. For example, some appliances donāt work: one stove is functional, and one is not, one microwave is functional, and one is not, the ice maker doesn't work so you'll need to buy your own ice. The fire pits don't work, and the doorbell is broken.
Another concern is the fifth bedroom, which lacks any bathroom facilitiesāno shower or half bathājust a room with two beds. It does back up to a guest bathroom, which has a toilet and sink, so adding a "jack and jill" bathroom with a shower would be a relatively easy and impactful upgrade.
Additionally, the furnishings feel outdated, the mattresses are quite firm, and the linens are on the cheaper side. For a rate of $1500 per night, everything should be in working order, and the overall quality should be better. The house definitely needs repairs and upgrades to maintain its appeal; it can't just function as a rental without regular upkeep.
