Disliked: Cleanliness
Great house, but not clean
3 stars because house itself is great, but there is a mouse problem and the house cleaners didn't finish cleaning in between visitors.
The bigger concern was mice. First thing we noticed when we stepped inside was a mouse trap, and throughout the house there were about two dozen, all set, but with no bait - apparently just for show, not many mice are going to be caught in an un-baited spring trap. More likely to get a kids finger or toe. And if one was caught, I guess they expect the guest to take care of it?
When we climbed up to the loft (which was a cool space) we found that the cleaners hadn't swept up there and it was covered in sand from the prior visitors and quite a bit of mouse poop. So the mice are definitely there. We swept the loft and accumulated an impressive amount of dirt.
At bedtime we realized none of the beds were made. We found sheets and made the beds. Not sure if that was on purpose or not, they left sheets with towels almost like they meant to leave the beds unmade, but I've never seen it done this way in any other vacation rental.
Finally, the house is also infested with potato bugs. They don't really gross me out, but each morning we found about 10 new dead ones in the bathroom and throughout the day they were seen all around the house.
Seems to me they should take care of the mice and insects before renting this to people for this much money and the "cleaning fee" apparently only covers a partial clean.
