We booked this stay for the 4th of July week to have a quiet place to stay for ourselves and our dogs. The most important feature for us in choosing a place was to have a fenced in yard. This house advertised as being fully fenced in, so we selected it.
Unfortunately when we arrived, we saw the gate to the fence broken and haphazardly held in place by some rocks. We would not have rented this place had we known the yard was not secured. I messaged the host on our first night to bring this to her attention. We stayed for 6 nights and I never received a response from her.
Additionally, without any notice, someone entered the yard to do yard maintenance during our stay. I understand if this needs to happen, however the host should have given us a heads up that someone would be entering the yard in the middle of the day.
Finally, this house was not well-stocked with standard kitchen supplies. I had to spend nearly $200 to purchase bowls, wine glasses, forks, hangers, etc. I left these in the house so the future guests will be able to take advantage of these.
