I'm going to start with cons, so they aren't missed by readers... Pros are at the end.
Overall - it was worth the stay; but was definitely not as nice as we were expecting.
Cons:
- The fridge wouldn't go below 50*. The freezer was fine, but at 50* food doesn't stay fresh for very long. The recommended fridge temperature is 37. They definitely need to get the fridge repaired to ensure proper storage of food.
- The dishwasher needs to be repaired, or most likely, replaced. It cleaned the dishes, but was unbearably loud in the process. There is no way you can run the dishwasher at night, or even while you're in the house.
- The door to the master bedroom is two inches shorter than the space for it - so there is a 2 inch gap between the floor and the base of the door; this contributed to the lack of sound proofing.
- The wood flooring slats they have the pool table sitting on are wider than the pool table. Multiple toes were stubbed on them while my kids were playing pool. This would be a really easy fix - just trim the length of the boards down.
- Multiple small things that needed to be fixed - like scuffs in the paint, loose tiles in the flooring, transition between tile floor and wood floors is chipped/broken/uneven.
- Multiple drawers in dressers were broken or off the tracks.
- Furniture is old and out dated. Couch cushions are stained and not very supportive.
- Bathroom closest to pool didn't have working outlets.

Pros:
- We loved the location. It was far enough away from the various parks that we didn't feel like we had crowds in our backyard, but close enough that the drive to the parks was not long.
- The pool was a great feature; we paid extra for it to be heated and used it almost every day that we were there.
- Having the privacy of our own rooms and multiple bathrooms was great for our group of 8 (2 couples and 4 kids).
- The gated community gave a comfort of security.
- The game tables
- Quiet neighborhood/area.
- Fun to see the various wildlife: lizards, frogs, birds, even an armadillo and opossum were spotted by people in our party.
- Beds were comfortable, with plenty of blankets/pillows.
- Plenty of dishes - including some tupperware. The only thing that wasn't available was a baking sheet. We purchased one and left it there.
