Carolina Cottage review
The property has potential, needs a little tlc. Internet did not work but host will probably get the ISP to fix this, one of the showers doesn't get hot but I think this is another issue that the host will probably address with the plumber. Lawn was not cut so again a little tlc might improve things. We had to put 1 older adult in the upstairs childrens area which is cluttered but probably fun for little kids.

Review of stay
The property is in in great location; beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Very easy to get to and from Lillington where the family is. house is very large and and can accommodate a large group.There was a nice welcome basket when we arrived.The master bathroom was set up nicely for guests.There were travel bottles of shampoo, lotion etc in both downstairs bathrooms but nothing in the upstairs bath. Here are the issues: 1. The televisions did not work - all of them. 2. There no movies for the movie projector; no game room per se accept for the loft area for children. 3. There is no hot tub or glass top stove 4. There is no leather lounger in the livingroom as the picture notes. 5. There are holes in the walls in every room where items were removed but walls not patched. 6. Screen door was completely gone but hardware there 7. floor was sticky so you couldn't walk barefoot. 8. Bins in loft against the wall were removed and sign laying against the wall (picture is different). 9. Empty bottle of hand wash in downstairs bathroom 10. no extra blankets or bath towels. sheets are polyester and keep popping off the mattress so every day you had to pull the bottom sheet back on to the mattress. 11. deck is full of moss; one of the steps is rotted; the deck table/chairs haven't been cleaned in forever. There are 3 dirty plastic adirondeck chairs; one broken 14. Window treatments gone; blind slats broken; clocks hadn't been set to daylight savings time

Perfect family gathering place
My 2-year-old grandson loved this place. Tons of outdoor spaces to run around in, climbing structures, and swings. Inside the entire upstairs was mostly geared towards young people and family time. The crib was a huge benefit...and the home being kid-friendly was a primary reason for choosing the house. With 2.5 bathrooms and five separate sleeping areas, there was space for all to be away from each other if desired. We were in town for a wedding and wanted a short drive time between the rehearsal dinner in Fuquay Varina, and the wedding venue at a castle in Angier. The Carolina House fulfilled our needs. The cost wasn't extravagant, and the amenities were not posh...it just felt like home. We wanted comfort and convenience and got both. A couple of minor fixes would enhance the property but we weren't paying Four Season hotel prices and didn't have lofty expectations. The home is comfortable and nice to have the added amenities of a w/d, movie projector (didn't use though), and the kid/toddler set up of crib, toys, and outdoor space. The cleaning crew was in the driveway right at check-out time and had to move their vehicle so we could get out, so be prepared for that...and in the age of bogus listings, etc., knowing that you won't get the "keys to the property" info until shortly before check-in time would be helpful. I was starting to panic if we had a legit place. Overall a pleasant, convenient stay.

Wedding event
The house was nice. A few issues that we saw was they listed and showed pictures of the movie projector and movies. There were no movies. The master bedroom had a tv was not hooked up to anything, It did have roku but I found the connector and original box in the bedside stand. The stove in the listing showed a glass top stove. the stove that is there is an old electric burner and the inside of the stove was dirty, looks like never cleaned and must of been switched out. Also mentioned early in the year, the doorknob to master bedroom is installed wrong, still had not been fixed. The 2 trash bins outside were filled, not sure if we were supposed to see that the trash collector picked them up. The pictures really need to be updated with the current items in the house.

Place was perfect for us. We pretty much just slept there and had breakfast as Family Thanksgiving get together is held in Apex so most meals, turkey trot, pickleball tourney and games are held there.

Improvements…
**Overall Rating**: 2/5 Summary: Despite a favorable location, the property is marred by outdated appliances, lapses in cleanliness, and a few specific concerns that detract from the guest experience. Not recommended for repeat visits. 1. **Location**: The location remains a notable advantage, offering excellent proximity to local attractions and conveniences. 2. **Appliances**: The age and functionality of the appliances leave room for improvement, impacting the overall quality of stay. 3. **Cleanliness**: The property maintains a basic level of cleanliness, but there are notable areas that require attention, such as a wet bath mat and dirty dishes. 4. **Bath Mat Issue**: The soaking wet bath mat was a significant concern, questioning the property's maintenance standards. 5. **Kitchen Concerns**: Additional issues included wet dishes left in the cabinet and expired salt, which are points of concern for hygiene and guest comfort. 6. **Window Coverings**: The absence of a curtain for the large kitchen windows affects privacy and comfort, and is a surprising oversight in otherwise furnished accommodation. Final Thoughts: The property's drawbacks, especially in cleanliness and upkeep, outweigh its positive aspects. Given these issues, it is difficult to recommend for future stays.

Ok Property but could be great
The property fit our needs, however the rental seems to be an after thought. There is leftover 'junk' left behind from when the owners moved out.

A short family vacation
We all had a great time, the kids enjoyed the play area, there was a little mud by play area outside and a tree hanging over fence, and the tv in the master bedroom didn't work, but over all we enjoyed ourselves there
