My husband and I were so excited about our week-long stay at Lucas’s place! He was super communicative and the place looked awesome.
So you can imagine our surprise when we were greeted by dust, dirt, and grime…everywhere. I took photos because I was in such shock - there were no fewer than 15 different bugs (a mix of live and dead), stained old towels, and hair on the bedding. A thick layer of dust covered virtually every surface. A damp paper towel to the floor came up dark gray after a single wipe.
There are floor to ceiling windows, but no blackout curtains in case you were hoping to sleep past the crack of dawn. There is also one tiny floor unit to cool down the entire (two floor) pool house, and despite what Lucas will tell you, it did absolutely nothing in the two hours we were there. Literally not one degree colder even though we had it on the highest possible setting.
The photos of the yard, as several others noted, are deceiving. The pool is hardly big enough for one person to float in, and while the landscaping is quite nice, you better believe all of it ends up in the water.
The furniture looked to be at least 25 years old, and the “curtains” are super thin, super stained pieces of old fabric. The bathroom has definitely seen better days. Bring shower shoes, trust me.
Maybe all these aspects aren’t issues for other people, but we felt the price (and especially the “cleaning fee”) was absolutely not justified for these conditions. Thankfully, Lucas’s cancellation policy allowed us to get a partial refund (ultimately about a third of what we spent was returned). I highly encourage some very needed refurbishing and perhaps a new cleaning crew before anyone else has to deal with these same issues.
