Large house, needs a little TLC

The house has a good layout and good location. The teenage boys all stayed in the lower level with the games. The house needs minor repairs, updating, the trees trimmed. Some of the bedrooms didn't have blinds, some didn't work. The patio furniture needs replacing. It only has one smaller oven on the main level. The AC didn't cool evenly on the second level. It was nice having two refrigerators and a separate ice maker. I would love to see the house updated and repaired because it is a nice house with great potential. The rental company was very friendly and responded to an issue at the house quickly.

Disappointed

Love the location of the property. The community grocery store, Sons of Arley was very convenient and equipped with all the basic necessities for the long weekend. The most important focus of the weekend was family. However, The property is in need of updating, thorough cleaning and all the deferred maintenance needs to be addressed (wood rot in the lower level bath, and around door frames, windows/screens in need of cleaning/repair/replacement, burnt out Light bulbs replaced, storage closet full of junk and disorganized. Under the kitchen sink-the smell was indescribably awful) My sons boat and my car were visited by ants. Deck Patio furniture/cushions off bedrooms were mostly broken or risky to sit on. Kayaks were either broken or full of dirt/spiders. For a classified Premiere property this was the farthest from the truth. We won't be back.

Great but needs some maintenance

The size of the house is wonderful and the water is wonderful. However there are some maintenance needs that need to happen in the off season. 1. The Toilets are wobbly and are prone to stopping up. 2. The air conditioning is not sufficient for the summer in Alabama. At times during the day it was up to 80 in the house and you couldn't turn the air lower than 76 at any time because it could freeze over. 3. Some kitchen Appliances were broken or struggling. The wine fridge didn't work and the kitchen fridge froze all of our vegetables and drinks. We tried to turn it up put the fridge wouldn't let us. 4. The lighting on the dock doesn't work. 5. The speakers either didn't work or the instructions were wrong 6. The carpets were badly stained in the upstairs rooms. 7. The light fixture in the living room needs new lightbulbs and a good cleaning. Lots of spiderwebs. 8. Water pressure in the master bath was low. It is a nice house and it fit what we were doing. However it could have been amazing and you could charge more than a 1000.00 a night if you fixed those few maintenance problems. The kitchen serving ware and other appliances were great. The grill was great. The dock during the day was good. Huge house and the game area was fun. But the air conditioning is a major deterrent.
