We rented this property for my adult children to enjoy a pre wedding celebration for our youngest daughter. We consisted of 8 adults, and 5 grandchildren ages 8,5,4,2 and 9 months. The property was spacious and the layout was perfect for our group.
Safe seating in the outdoors , dining area and sun room were issues. Bar stools out side had weathered and my husband actually fell thru a seat. He is not obese...Upon inspection we noticed that the metal joints holding all the bar stools had weathered and weakened. (4 SEATS) The property manager was quick to remove them and new stools were brought the next day. The seats in the main floor sunroom were also weathered . My 2 year old grandson fell thru the seat and This alerted us to the problem. When the management came to replace the bar stools, the gentleman was kind enough to return and replace the webbing on the 5 chairs in the sunroom. (5 SEATS) The dining room chairs had some legs loose and needed tightened. (2 SEATS) The sunroom screen was very torn and and the door to the porch was hard to open because of weathering. FOR AS MUCH AS WE PAID FOR THE RENTAL, I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE WAS NOT A BEGINNING OF SEASON SAFETY CHECK ON SEATING....
The other situation was the kitchen. The gas stove had problems with the burners. It was a 6 burner cooktop but we could only get 1 and Occasionally 2 to light. This was a major inconvenience, particularly when cooking our meals. The oven only had 1 rack and someone had left a mess in the oven prior to us renting. It made an awful smell when we first used the oven. There were alot of lids but only one glass mixing bowl. Food prep was difficult for lack of bowls...I have rented many places over the years. I feel that the owners should have taken a before season assessment for safety issues particularly with seating. THe kitchen oven and cooktop need attention or replaced. THe kitchen dishes and food prep items need checked. This rental is in a beautiful location, the layout was perfect....it just needs TLC. the management was accessible but it could not fix the kitchen issues. If you plan to do alot of meal prep like we did I would make sure the kitchen situation was addressed,
