I'm not a person to write reviews but I had to share this one because of how bad it was.
Here's the scenario, it's myself, my wife and my 3-month-old daughter. Rented for 2 weeks.
I'll start with Narragansett Property Management...
Carly Fiorey is one of the most unresponsive and unprofessional realtors I have dealt with.
First, on our way to the house, we called because we thought we were going to be late. After a few phone calls and text finally got a response on after a sent email. Took her almost 2 hours to get back to us because she doesn't answer the phone and the voicemail simply says, "please text or email and I will get back to you" I don't understand why no one answers the phone...
When we arrived at the property it was unclear where we were supposed to park. I had to call back several times until someone finally answered to tell us there is a designated parking spot for the house around the corner. That is something that should have been communicated BEFORE we arrived on the property.
Next, I spent the first 2 days cleaning and killing bugs. I expected to do some light cleaning when I got to the house, but I didn't expect to have to do a lot because it should be cleaned beforehand. Everything was sticky and grimy. Faucets, floors, walls (especially bathroom walls), shower, the inside of the toilet bowl was nasty. Ants on the floors, counter tops, and spiders in every corner.
I emailed Carly to let her know the situation and she didn't respond or call me back. Instead, she sent an angry maintenance worker, who knocked on the door and came into the house uninvited, with no mask on, and proceeded to curse at me in front of my wife and daughter and tell me "I scrubbed this whole f*cking place with bleach". I tried diffusing the situation to get him out ASAP because I didn't want to deal with his anger. I never heard from Carley AT ALL for the rest of the trip. Not even for a follow up.
The property...
The post is misleading, PICTURES ARE MISLEADING. It is not a 1 bedroom; this is a studio. No headboard on the bed. Everything is one room. Pictures are nicer than the actual place. Bathroom is gross. The right side of the cottage is missing siding (probably why there are so many bugs). Walls need to be cleaned and painted, they're sticky. The washing machine/dryer ruined some of our clothes and daughters' clothes. This is in addition to the uncleanliness and the bugs.
The people next door...
You have to share the grill with the people (I guess the owner) next door because they don't have their own. On the 4th of July, we had some friends over to grill, but before that, the people next door asked if they could use the grill when we were done because they didn't have their own. I said I didn't know when I was going to grill, so I don't know when you can have it. They asked me if I could give them a time. RIDICULOUS. I'm renting the house and the grill; I have to rush to cook because the people next door doesn't have their own grill? Needless to say, I accommodated and cooked early. After we were done, they moved the grill and didn't return it.
The owner also decided to schedule the cable company in our second week to fix the internet. They didn't give us any heads up until the cable guy arrived. Although we didn't have any issues, it was on the owner's end. They needed access to the cottage. We were on our way out the door to go to the beach and instead we had to sit at the cottage for over an hour because the cable guy was coming in and out and all of our personal items were out. Thanks to the owners for scheduling this mid-morning on a perfect day for the beach (sarcasm)!
The only positive thing about this rental is the location to the private beach... THAT'S IT!
I will avoid renting through Carly and Narragansett Property Management again. Been renting up here for 12 years straight now, ill stick with Durkin or Ann O'Brien or any other private renter. They're more reliable than Carly and NPM. read more
