Cozy Family Home w/ Pool – Walk to Pinelands Plaza

It was great value for money Positive: It was very comfy/cosy Negative: Nothing🙂

Disappointing for a week long Christmas stay Positive: The house itself has good potential — the beds were comfortable and the pool was appreciated during hot weather. Location near the train station is excellent. Lots of room to spread out. Negative: The condition of the property did not match the listing or the price paid, particularly for a Christmas-period stay.On arrival and throughout the week, we experienced numerous maintenance and amenity issues, including: No hot water in the upstairs shower and poor drainage Several lights not working Only one functioning fan in the living area Wi-Fi repeatedly dropping out and needing resets Living room TV malfunctioning (screen issues, volume changing randomly, remote not working properly) Broken fan control and missing TV in one bedroom Wall damage in another bedroom Dirty, heavily discoloured carpet in the master bedroom Leaking shower in the master bathroom Patio furniture cushion badly torn and unusable without covering Kitchen poorly equipped for a week-long stay (no frying pan, minimal utensils, no potholders, inadequate linens) Multiple remotes with dead batteries and no spares provided Very limited basic supplies (toilet paper, towels) We ended up purchasing basic items ourselves (kitchenware, batteries, toilet paper) just to make the stay workable.

On a whole it was a pleasant stay. Positive: The location was so convenient. Negative: The process to confirm booking and then access keys was stressful.

We had a ball Positive: The property was very spacious had all the utilities we needed Negative: Some of the cups and pots were dirty but everything was fine
