Owner's Response: I'm sorry you feel this way about our house. I really love how comfortable our house is, especially the white-washed old floors. I guess worn floors to one person are cherished memories of little feet running to another. Our house is well set up for family get togethers. We frequently rent to multi-generational families, which means that grandparents can get together with their children and grandchildren with lots to do for all in an environment where they don't have to worry excessively about ruining a "House Beautiful" decor. One consequence of this is that the house does get a lot of use. At the beginning of each Summer we thoroughly clean and replace things needing updating, including rugs, furniture and linens. During the course of the Summer, of course, things will break and we fix or replace them as soon as we hear about them. The back screen door is a perfect example. I specifically picked out the one we have so that I can hear the slap of the door as our kids run in and out of the house on the way to the beach or pool. Little fingers, no matter how often reminded, always seems to find a way to break the screen. Its a simple task to replace the screen, and we typically do it two to three times during the Summer. As soon as we learned about issues that you raised (prior renters had not told of them prior to your rental), we fixed them. For instance, the prior renters had not told us of the problem with the hot water heater (we have two and the one that was broken only serves one of the five bathrooms). Once you informed us of the issue, the plumbers replaced the heating element and it was back and operational. Similarly, we have replaced the solar cover for the pool and fixed the freezer (a rod holding the pull-out drawer had come out of its support which prevented it from opening all the way -- we simply had to push it back in). We also checked the upstairs bed master mattress and shower with our property management firm and subsequent renters and no one else felt the way you did, nor have we had those complaints before. The refrigerator is a full size refrigerator/freezer. Our extended family has had many family get togethers (I'm from a family of seven and have 21 nieces and nephews in addition to our three kids) and have not had an issue. I am glad the you all enjoyed the setting. Our property is very private and does have fantastic views from inside and outside the house. Its such a special place to spend time together with your family.
