The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: WE absolutely LOVE this place! The location and quiet have been great!! We have a couple of suggestions that would make it a more relaxing place if you don't mind....The main one being the sisal rug in the kitchen! We noticed a big water stain by the dishwasher when we arrived and in trying to clean up a raspberry that landed on it, I created a smaller stain as well, because its a natural fibre rug that is VERY absorbent!! They would be wise to put down a wool or synthetic rug in its place. The sisal rug in the living room is fine. We always take off our shoes....The kitchen faucet is rather odd. It turns off at random moments and for some reason appears digital and often requires patience to get the water flowing.Last suggestion is for a MUCH better vacuum as this one's battery runs out of juice in minutes and doesn't have the needed sucking power.Beyond that, everything was wonderful, though we had to take down some art. Big, black splotches just aren't our cup of tea and would likely not please others either!! But...those are minor issues and we really are enjoying our time here!!Very user friendly house! Oh! It might be a good idea to have a print out on how to use the NEST thermostat. It was quite a process getting to know that puppy!! Following on line directions was very difficult, so a print out might be good!!Hope this was helpful!!! Whoops! One more thing:some outdoor chair cushions would be great!! Hard metal isn't comfy!!! (I bought a few pillows which was not a problem!)
