Took off a star for the septic overflowing in the middle of the backyard. You couldn’t enjoy back there because of the smell & kids couldn’t play back there. Just FYI - this is only for the bottom floor as the top floor is a separate rental. House was cute, but small. It was only for 1 night, so it wasn’t a huge deal to us. They supplied coffee but no coffee cups, etc.

We stayed in the bottom unit overnight before we left in a cruise. There was another family who was staying in the upstairs unit. You could hear EVERYTHING they did. They weren’t partying or being disrespectful at all. The floors are all wood and there obviously isn’t much insulation between the floors. There weren’t any pillows or blankets for the pull out couch. I would not recommend this unit for 10 people. The one bathroom is small. One of the shower doors wouldn’t close properly so when someone showered the towel had to be there to soak up water. We have 7 kids and this unit would have been too small for us if we would have needed to stay more than a night. The living room area wouldn’t hold more than 5 people comfortably. If you’re looking for a cheaper place to stay overnight with a group of no more than 6 and bring LOUD fans to block out the noise this would be an appropriate rental. I did reach out to the host the night we stayed about the noise and they got right back to me. They stated something about the quiet hours.
