The home is exactly as the pictures show, however, there were some serious issues during our stay. First, as I was reading the other reviews, someone already stated that the listing has air conditioning as an amenity, yet there wasn't one. The rental adviser stated the listing was corrected. Unfortunately, what I found is that the listing still states there's air conditioning, but THERE IS NONE. Let me be clear, this property has no air conditioning.
Another thing that is not made clear in the listing, is there is a long term tenant living above the garage. That's right, the garage shown in the picture, right beside the home, has a tenant living in an apartment above. It is extremely awkward for various reasons, especially considering there are no mini blinds or curtains in the windows. So when the tenant sits on his back deck, there's clear views throughout the home.
**CARBON MONOXIDE** During our stay the home filled with carbon monoxide. Luckily, my daughter smelled something "funny" and started feeling nauseated. Otherwise, we would have all went to sleep that night and not woke up!!! We Immediately contacted the property manager. We spent two days dealing with repairmen and ended up cutting our trip short. The repairman stated that the hot water heater wasn't properly vented causing back flow of carbon monoxide into the home. After going back and reading reviews, it appears a guest in February complained that the hot water heater went out. My guess is that's when it was replaced. It makes me ill to think how many people have rented the home before we did and could have gotten carbon monoxide poisoning. Yes, we received a refund for the nights we didn't stay. BUT, NOTHING MAKES UP FOR THE TRAUMA AND FEAR WE EXPERIENCED. Imagine having your entire family in one home and realizing just how close you were to losing everyone. It was scary as h3ll and I still have nightmares about it.
PLEASE, PLEASE do NOT book this property until you have verification that the vent on the hot water heater has been properly fixed AND PLEASE take a carbon monoxide detector!!! Also, realize that not having an air conditioner and being forced to open the windows contributes to the back flow of carbon monoxide. PLEASE BE CAREFUL .
