"This is not a house to stay in for a vacation. While there was parking out front, WiFi, AC, and hot water, and the living room is spacious, the kitchen and main bathroom were in disrepair and not clean. The bedroom and bed smelled of mold and mildew. We had to ask for towels and were given two worn, stained towels for a one week stay. No washing machine, despite stating there was one. But even worse was the noise; the adjoining house had 3 small dogs that barked nonstop from 6 am until 10 pm,...

"1. Someone from the house started contacting me weeks before my family vacation to wire transfer a deposit. I wasn't sure if it was fraud so I politely told them I would pay when I checked in. 2. The address that Hotels.com reflects for the location is different than the one the location ended up sending me so I drove around for a while trying to find the location, so if your going to this location in a taxi make sure you confirm the address. 3. They didn't have hot water when we arrived. 4....
