The pictures are very deceiving. The upkeep needed to be better. The grass was not cut. The smell of the house was terrible, had to by lysol and other cleaning products. Floor boards were lifting , vents coming down from the ceiling. Pool needed to be redone all the way. The only thing that worked was the A/C. The appearance of the house is horrible. There were so many bugs, flying roaches , the house was infested. This house was not luxury at all. On the outside steps it felt like it was about to cave in. The upstairs was already unlock when we got there. The ice maker was not working. We only seen 4 restrooms and had to find the additional room behind what we thought was a bookshelf. There needs to be repairs on top of repair if this is going to be listed on your site. We have rented off this site before and the homes were beautiful and lived up to their description but this one needs to be listed as House of Horrors.

August 2026

upon arrival we noticed that half of the fence around the pool was demolished or missing. Inside the furniture looked like people could not control their bodily functions while sitting on it. There was also mold growing out of many of the air conditioning vents, and in every bathroom. There was an extension cord running from an outlet above the counter to under the sink, I did not investigate why. The upstairs game room floor was bowing even as my tiny daughter was walking across it, and the flooring looks is coming apart or possibly was never together to begin with. With the fence missing I was unable to let my dog outside unattended and considering the mold growing out of the A/C vents we did not stay. I did not have room to upload all of the pictures of the issues. The Company renting this property has refused to give a refund, not sure what my next steps will be.
