Beautiful home needs improvements.

The home itself was clean beautiful and in a great location. We quickly noticed the beds were of very low quality and by our last night I dreaded having to sleep again. Lol There was no queen in the second room as stated so my 18yr old and his girlfriend slept on a futon. They all have those mattresses protectors that sound and feel like they never removed the plastic. The Hot tub was the highlight of the trip but on the first night we realized it was physically impossible to enjoy due to mosquitos. We lathered in hug spray and had citronella candles but they just attack your face the entire time. I mean literally every other second your slapping one from your face. I'm not sure if the owners could spray the yard or what but it was extremely disappointing. We even eventually sprayed our faces and heads but it was ok help. Very disappointed because again the home was clean and beautiful but these key points just made it very miserable.
