Summary: We rented this house as a group of friends to enjoy our Memorial Day weekend. The house itself was good and the location was great. A few things that I want to highlight that could have made our experience better: 1. We asked the host for the code to the garage, which was shared to us. We wanted to understand if there is space to park our car in the garage and to understand if we could borrow firewood. Since the host shared the garage code, we opened the garage and went in to look for firewood. We understood that we were not supposed to use the things from the garage from a note there so we closed the garage. We then got a call from the host saying they have videos of us going through their personal property and that we were never supposed to have been in the garage. This felt extremely unprofessional. If we weren’t supposed to be there, we should have never received the code. They shared the code and then they called us and made it sound like it was our fault. The conversation felt very accusative which we did not appreciate. 2. The dishwasher was completely broken and was a major inconvenience. We hand washed all our dishes throughout the trip and had to clean the multiple leaks from the dishwasher.3. The kitchen was not very well stocked, it only had very basic condiments. The ice bag in the freezer was already open and used. 4. The swimming pool could have been heated a few degrees more for a much better experience. Overall, an average experience.
