I could give this rental five stars if…

I could give this rental five stars if the house was given some attention. The refrigerator in the carriage house was leaking when we checked in and the maintenance person said he would be back to fix it along with the shelf on the door. No one came back. The carriage house smelled musty. One of the stools at the kitchen counter is missing some screws so it wobbles. The wheels on the dishwasher rack are broken, so that every time you pull the rack out, it is hard to pull and forces the dishes together. One of the potholders is torn up and useless. Water stains on ceiling in downstairs bathroom. The vent over the washer and dryer is filthy. Things were not as sanitized as I expected them to be. The pictures on the website show 2 dining tables with chairs on the deck-they were not there. We had plans to eat meals out there, but we couldn't. There were 9 of us with only 8 chairs at the dining table inside, so we were unable to all sit together for meals. There were a few lounge chairs on the deck, with dirty cushions and a few other "deck chairs", however the cushions on those chairs are thin and uncomfortable. Doors to the deck do not lock and are not secure and the door knob is broken. The igniter for the grill does not work as it needs a new battery. There are nails popping out of the stairs leading to the beach. We were lucky to see them and not get cut. The balcony off the master suite was nice, but there weren't any chairs to sit on. It would have been nice to sit out there with a glass of wine to watch the sun set. Two of the beds did not have comforters on them. I called and a short time later, they were delivered. I appreciate that good service. Our 2 umbrellas and 4 chairs were set up every morning at 7 which was very nice, we made good use of them. We loved the location of the house and the layout fit our needs. We had a wonderful time with our family. With some TLC, this house would be perfect.
