Gut: Sauberkeit
Absolutely Stunning Property, but.... there are Trade-Offs
The property and home are beyond compare. We have stayed at several top-notch vacation rentals and this was by far our favorite. The home is just so warm and welcoming, the backyard is idyllic, and the beds were comfy. The rooms were spacious and lovely!
All the photos were accurate.
BUT.
The kitchen -- which is stunning -- is not stocked for cooking or serving. For example, there are no casserole dishes, which I didn't know. I did ask in advance, so brought my own food processor and mixer. I had to borrow casserole and serving dishes from family. And I had to purchase plates, bowls and more at Target... we were provided 8 plates and 4 bowls for 6 guests. Which is doing dishes at least 3 times per day. So, to avoid that hassle, we purchased two more sets of plates and bowls... but that's not really fair.
In addition, we were provided with 8 bath towels, again for 6 guests. So, it was a lot of laundry to keep things clean over our 2 week stay.
There is a fair bit of deferred maintenance at the home. The dishwasher is fussy and ineffective, one of the ovens went on strike for a day (sadly, Christmas day) but recovered the following day. The shower handles in the main bathroom were loose and the hand shower actually fell off the wall. So... I guess that's pretty common with rentals. Things go wrong. But, at this price point I would prefer a higher standard.
Still... I would love to go back. The location is ideal. We had a wonderful stay.
