The amenities that were offered in the listing were not available to us. I only rented this space because of the pool and spa. As I understood the pool wouldn’t be heated, the heating of the spa was unconditional with our $20 per day agreement. Upon arrival our host told us it would take 20 minutes to heat the spa, 4 hours later it was only at 64*. I explained that I need the spa as we were doing a lot of hiking, after arguing with me about the inclement Southern California weather she said she would let it run. Finally on Saturday night we were able to use the spa, this was day 4, first time in. I told her again that we needed the spa for the remainder of our stay. I asked her about having guests and she never said guests weren't allowed only no pets. There is no smoking on the premises when my son went outside of the property and onto the street to smoke she said that was not allowed. She does not have domain over the public roadway. We finally got a spa day on Sunday we had 3 adult friends over, and she told us we broke the rules ( her original listing said no more than 5 guests) This Felt like a " look but don't touch place" the fire pit, grill, and lounge chairs, were ALL covered and bungee corded, not for US to use, they're clearly listed as amenities. As far as noise goes we had a four inch JBL speaker that never went past half volume.
The guest house was cute, clean and nicely decorated. Our main issue was the spa and communication issues.
