Nov 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### older home in good area I rented this home for employees of our company to stay in while working in the area for a while. One of my employees brought a dog which was specifically against the rules of the home. The owners worked with us until we could find a place for the dog to go. That was beyond reasonable in my opinion. I also swapped a person staying in the home without making owner aware. I didn't know or even realize that would be an issue. But it was. Understandably. The reason I had to swap a person was due to black mold growing on the walls in multiple spots of one of the rooms. My original employee is severely allergic to mold. Once I made owners aware they immediately went to home to clean up the issue. BUT, when I called to tell them of the mold I was told that this is Florida and mold is to be expected. Ummm. Absolutely not. I have rented 20+ homes in Florida(several in this area), and mold has never been an issue in any rental that I have had. We were given a list of specific rules to follow for their home. One was that the air conditioner not be set below 72 degrees (Owner also stated this was a FL law???) I felt this was unreasonable because it was sunny & 85+ degrees out on most days and this is an older home. Needless to say, we did turn the AC below 72\. Most rentals in the area have code locks on the front doors. This one does not. Check in was a little stressful just because we didn't know an exact arrival time and owner had to be present to give us a key to the home. I prefer no contact with an owner other than email. This is one of the few times I've ever been forced to have face to face contact with an owner. The house could use some updating as far as linens and furniture go. We only rented due to the limited availability of other homes in the area. ##### Lori P. Stayed 28 nights in Oct 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol Ann B.

The reason for the 3 stars was because we had issues with the television. The house has Roku but no cable. We were unable to watch a major network for a few days. The owners did bring an antenna, after much discussion, and then we were able to access ABC and that’s it. If you don’t care about TV the house is fine ##### Robert L.
