Clear Communication Needed
My family and I recently stayed at this property, and while the home itself has potential, several issues significantly impacted our experience. I communicated these concerns during the stay, including a non‑functional grill that was pictured in the listing, missing bedding for the pullout couch despite the home being advertised to sleep 12, and cleanliness concerns such as utensils still having food on them.
To their credit, the on‑site contact responded once she became aware of the issues and brought bedding late that evening. She also acknowledged the inconveniences and stated that a compensation adjustment would be made. However, despite checking out and following up professionally, I have not received any communication from the owner or management regarding the adjustment that was promised.
I’m posting this review in hopes that the owner will reach out directly, as I would like to resolve this matter fairly and professionally. The rate paid reflects certain expectations, and I believe it’s reasonable to expect follow‑through on commitments made during the stay.
