We rented this property from February 9th to March 11th, 2019 and the following is our experience and opinion:
On the internet we thought that this property was a fairly priced, and it would have been, had representation and condition been consummate with the presentation,
It was advertised that it sleeps eight. It only has beds to sleep six. Note there are two couches in the living room,
When we arrived, we met the owner who was very accommodating, however, we spent the first three hours trying to log on the internet, since the router wasnât working properly. We were on the telephone with the owner and Cox cable trying to solve the problem. Cox told the owner he probably needed to replace the five year old router. Once we were able to connect with the internet, we experienced periodic outages for the next couple of days and had to continuously unplug and plug in again the router. The Television wasnât really user friendly and kept going off. After numerous conversations with the owner and his visit to reset it, we final were able to view the TV. Detailed written instructions need to be furnished.
After residing in the residence, we started to notice various issues that needed to be addressed:
For example, the water pressure in the half bath on the first floor didnât work. (new faucet required); light in the bathroom didnât work (needed to be rewired) handle on the bathtub faucet in the master-bath was very loose and needed tightening. We were afraid that it was going to fall off. The furniture in the dining area was very wobbly. All of the legs on the chairs and kitchen table had to be tightened; lights on the microwave oven needed to be replaced and oven light needs replaced. Bar stools need new padding in the seats and donât fit the bar. The owner was notified and sent a repairman out to assess the job, so we had to set and hour aside for that and three hours the next day while the work was being completed.
We also learned that the ice maker didnât work and that the water was leaking in the freezer, which caused our frozen food to be covered with blocks of ice and ice formations throughout the freezer. The owner offered to replace the refrigerator, but we declined, since we didnât want to be tied up with delivery etc. Another area that needed to be addressed was that the lightbulbs
House was clean & beds were comfy, but no basic amenities . Cable was disconnected so no TV. Sliding door to outdoor space broken & took 2 men to open/close. Code to front door would not work so had to leave door unlocked whenever gone. Owner did not know code to garage door so had to run thru house to open garage door, then pull in. No bar soap, body wash, conditioners for bathing. No where to hang wet towels to dry. No coffee packets, or creamer tho had coffee maker. For traveler these are not items you want to or expect to have to purchase. Will not use this home again.
We really enjoyed our stay together as a family. The owner was very accommodating over the few things we called about⊠Porch lights not coming on and missing hair dryer, for example.
The property was extremely clean and near all services we required. The garage remote was missing. It would've been helpful to have it.
The only thing I thought would add to a family enjoyment would be several games or DVDs. I suppose those are things that might easily be stolen, though, so I can see an owner not providing them. There was, however, Netflix and Hulu and Amazon prime if you had an account.
Potential renters, be aware, all bedrooms are up an extremely steep set of stairs.
This home is very comfortable. It felt like I was at home. Not too far from the strip, local stores nearby, quiet. My family and I stayed Easter weekend and a neighbor gave my family a dessert. Lots of space and privacy.
Bianca our property manager was very pleasant and accessible. Unfortunately we didnât realise that a sensor/card was required to access the pool and werenât able to use it. The house was neat and tidy, everything was provided as described, we mentioned bits and pieces of marks/holes, etc., just to make sure it was not attributed to our stay. We liked the proximity to the Strip, far enough to lose the crowds but close enough to everywhere we needed to go. We appreciate that we were able to leave without rushing out -that meant a lot, so thank you! We will certainly contact you again the next time weâre in Vegas.
