Spacious home w/hot tub & sauna. Walking distance to Old Town Orcutt

My family (husband, 3 adult children, my mother and his elderly father) and I just stayed at Ila's home to attend a wedding in Los Alamos. I selected the home based on the photos, and the capacity to house a large group (house can sleep 9 - very rare.)The good:Starting with communication - Ila was extremely responsive, even though she was not local. The beds were very comfortable, and there was an amazing cross breeze. There were plenty of sheets, towels, etc. Much of the house has been updated as well, even though it is older. The area is easy to get to, plenty of parking and priced low. There is a hot tub we didnt use.The bad: they advertise a downstairs bedroom, but leave out there is an oddly placed step off the kitchen that was VERY treacherous for my elderly Father in law, who we intended to occupy that room. If you have people with mobility issues, this is a challenge.The kitchen was not well equipped. For a home that can sleep 9, there should be more dishes, utensils, etc. Ila cautioned us that there were still personal belongings, which I respect - but they should be housed in a common and marked location.There are gorgeous cement steps leading upstairs, but the landing step is cracked and loose (see photo). The carpets are in need of replacement - full of stains (sample photo),normal for a home accepting pets, but gave an overall feeling of a lack of maintenance. The home overall is in need of a deep cleaning.

Softball Great location and well equipped with all our needs.

Very nice home in Santa Maria/Orcutt Perfect location for visiting family near by!
