Disappointed

We so awaited to go and relax in this place, but unfortunately we got disappointed. On our long way there we got informed by the owner that the dish washer does not work yet and there will be no grilling utensils. I was not eager to do the dishes on vacation. But this was only the beginning of the disappointment list. When we arrived and entered the burglary alarm went off despite punching in the correct code. We called the owner, she disarmed it, and could not answer the question when the dishwasher was going to be fixed. In the dining room we found dirty dining chairs with wobbly back support. The fridge was not cleaned and there were multiple open food items. We never ever found such things in a rental. The health hazard it creates in the time of COVID is pretty much self explanatory. At this point, lack of a water filter in the fridge to get some clean ice was pretty much minor. We did not want to take our chances with the water fountain filter under the sink, so we pretty much ended up buying gallons of water from the store. The listed community pool was nowhere to be found. Last night our dog fell with whimper on the completely dark side stairs leading to the yard because the lamp on the side of the porch was disconnected. At the end the screen door locked on us and we were not be able to run the last check. The fast working internet, some nice decor and good size yard could not make up for our overall impressions of staying in this mobile home. It has a good potential, but as of now unfortunately we would not recommend it.
