Near Downtown w/ Pool! Oatland Island Escape

The house is older and could use some updating. But the biggest issues were that the house had a musty smell to it that permeated everything. Also, the hardwood floors were not clean. Walking on them for a short time with white socks would show exactly how dirty they were. The bathrooms were very small and while manageable were not luxurious. The location to Savannah and Tybee Island was very good and the neighborhood was very quiet and felt safe.

The location was good. It did had a little bit of flies but it was a nice stay and the communication was awesone with the propwrty nice and quiet place

RUN, as fast as you can, all PATRIOT FAMILY HOMES are not taken care of, and all have black mold in them. They are all dusty and dirty and the pool was green with a dead lizard. The relocation home was barely step up from the roaches. RUN AWAY FROM PATRIOT FAMILY HOMES

This stay was an absolute nightmare. When we arrived at the home and entered the gate to go through the backyard, we noticed the pool was unusable. It was green, algae was growing, and there was something at the bottom of the pool. We called the property to let them know and asked to send someone out. When we entered the home, it was not clean. There were crumbs, dead bugs by the door, and utensils were left out. We asked why they did not communicate the issue of the pool prior to our arrival and they stated it was the first they heard about it. The review listed before this one was posted during our stay. That review states the same issues including the pool so the property group did know. Later on, one of the guests had water drip on them while getting ready in the upstairs bathroom. When we looked up the vent was covered in black mold. Past reviews have also complained of this issue. At this point, we contacted Vrbo as we did not want to stay at the house. They said they could not move us. We called PFH back later to let them know they only had 7 towels for our 10 guests. There were several calls, texts, app messages, and emails exchanged during the stay. They offered 30% of stay for lack of amenities. The contract did not reflect that. No one was sent for the pool. People came out for 20 min to clean around vent. Never signed contract but they did issue about 20% of PFH cost back. Initial contact stated if signed, we would have to leave no less than a 5/5 review.

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with our stay. The home was in a state of disrepair between the floorboards coming up, trim and tiles coming out, and holes in the walls. The home was very dirty (I have many photos) with other people’s hair and gunk through out . Within 10 minutes of taking our shoes off our feet were black from the floors. The pool was dirty upon arrival, and someone was sent to shock and clean the pool on the 2nd day. After the cleaning the house pool had gone completely green and nasty for the remainder of the stay. But possibly the biggest let down was the original post included the garage, which is where laundry and the ping pong table were located had been locked. When we contacted Patriot Homes we were told it had never been available and we had imagined seeing it. It was confirmed later that week by the pool employee that is was included in the home until recently. It had been locked because of a complaint involving the back door. My 79 year old mother also fell on the front stairs as there is no hand railing. She had to try holding onto the brushes branches to stable herself to leave or enter the home. Many of the light bulbs were out and the several outlets looked burned and questionable. We tried not to use them. The home did maintain air conditioning throughout our stay and was located nicely between Tybee and downtown Savannah.

Had a very damp moldy smell not good for allergies. Cleanliness was not good at all house needs a pressure wash and driveway sucks. Would not book again.

We loved our stay! The price was great, and it was only around a 15 minute ride from downtown.

Our family and I had an amazing time last Christmas staying in this place. It was very nice and cozy.

To start with, I had to email the company day of to get the address and check in information as apparently the automated email did not send as the listing says 7 days prior. Once I got to the house, the back french doors were unlocked, the back garage door was wide open and various windows on the ground floor were unlocked. This was cause for concern as I was unsure if there was someone still occupying the residence -whether by permission or not. After checking the house, I noticed the wifi was not working. I looked over that house from top to bottom to try and reset the modem/router. When more of my family arrived, I let them know that we needed to find the modem/router to reset it. We still could not find it. While looking for the modem/router I looked down into the gap behind the couch and saw nothing but filth to include multiple empty water bottles. Also, throughout the house various light fixtures are missing working light bulbs. For example, the light over the table has 4 spots for bulbs a d only 1 was working. There were also missing bulbs from outside the house which was a security concern. The entire process of trying to get the wifi fixed so those that needed to work remotely and do schoolwork remotely was an ordeal that was never solved. There were many communications issues. Even after checkout I am having to continue to deal with the communication failures as now they are not wanting to honor a minuscule discount that was offered.

The house is as advertised. We arrived a day after Hurricane Idalia and thankfully were not effected by its passing. The king bedroom on the first floor is pretty spacious, with a beautiful claw tub. The bunk room on the 2nd Floor was bigger than expected. And the two queen rooms were suitable, with enough space just not as roomy as the other two rooms. The kitchen, dining room, and living room were GREAT for hosting a large get together. * not related to the property, my keys were lost the day I was supposed to depart. I reached out to the owner who was incredibly kind and understanding. They allowed my vehicle to stay on the property until I could get a replacement that afternoon and didn’t charge me any additional fees * The price range is appropriate. If you would rather not spend 3k on a flat in downtown Savannah for a weekend, then this home is ideal.

House still needs a lot of work. It wasn’t dirty but you could tell it still needs a lot of work. Really not worth as much as it’s listed for to rent. Can only have 2 cars parked there when it sleeps 15. Location is good to most things if you don’t mind a flipped house that’s half done.
