The teak outdoor dining set is not well maintained and needs to be sanded.2. The home has does not have air conditioning (this really should be listed in the description). Additionally, the home has very poor air circulation and a small amount of working windows.3. The patio door in the master bedroom does not have a screen.With all provided fans running and windows open, the inside temps stayed above 85 degrees well into the night and early morning hours. ##### Darrell B.
