Sand castle has issues

We had a decent stay at this house. It was a lovely space but it was unfortunate for our group that the house was poorly maintained and we were in mid summer. Every room had a fan with each fan not working. Some moved a little air and some barely moved air, all set on high. We also had to call out an air conditioning company 2x because our units weren't working properly. The issues were not fixed before we left and Cobb realty hasn't reached out to make this issue right. We had a 6 week old newborn, an aunt who had a major surgery a few weeks ago and was recovering and an uncle there with Parkinson's. The house was very nice but we would not re rent this place due to these issues. It was 100+ out with the air conditioning not working properly and not cooling below 78 most times.

Jeep Weekend

Our stay in the house was great! All of have stayed for the big event many times in previous years, but the crowd was very different this time and not in a good way. Would definitely look at staying at this house again in future, but definitely won't be back for this event. The house was amazingly beautiful 😍
