The house isn't bad, and the location isn't bad either. But it seems like the house has been empty for long stretches of time. There are no real usable cups, they were old plastic with cracks, and many had spider webs in them. The beds had plastic wrapping over then like they never took the plastic off the mattress when they bought it, all the mattresses were brand new. I imagine that is to protect the mattress but that makes for some very hot, sweaty sleeping. There were also no hand soap, or any other toiletries.
At the end of the day, we were there for short periods as we were there for the Florida game. It was fine for something like that, but definitely not set up yet for a getaway where the house is a main part of the trip.
