We loved the location and the property. The cleanliness needs some work... multiple dusty cobwebs around the house, some with dead bugs hanging in them. All of the plastic colored plates were dirty with food stuck on them, as well as other dirty dishes. The washing machine did not work, and there's a big hole in the deck. Overall, we did enjoy our stay and enjoyed the property, just wished the place was better maintained.
