Dean is a lovely guy and did the best to accommodate us.
Its not a bad place just not what the pictures and posting leads to say.
So here are Few things to note while staying here.
The place is converted 2 car garage as one side is still garage where things are stored. personal items and needs for the main house. The other area is the room and bathroom. The area is very small. no place to put suitcases. We are 2 people and it was so tight we needed to pack and put away the suitcase every time. Only one person can get ready while the other is outside or on bed. But the bed is used as place to put suitcase. BTW we only had 2 small cases 50l size.
The room was very dusty and dirty. My partner has alergy's to dust and she wasn't able to have clear nose and eyes while we are in the room. Not to mention the musty smell in bathroom. Not good ventilation. Bathroom had mold and mildew.
If the room was to be cleaned and dusted, it would be hard to make it look clean. Lots of clutter of the personal items. draws and shelves had junk left in them as well.
Kitchen area had dishes with dust and old food left on them. We just didn't use them. To wash dishes it was not possible in the bathroom sick. We also would have used dish soap but none provided. The sink wasn't big enough.
The room had hardly any plugs to plug anything in. Just one with cheap 3way splitter. Hum from the electrical when the heater was running. The microwave was not possible to plug in. nor toaster oven. No plugs are near by and to move the item to the one or 2 plugs i would have to move all the dishes and other items on the desk to safely place these things in a new place near a plug.
Only thing that lived up to the place was the outside landscaping. lush green and tropical feel. One main reason we booked this place we wanted to make it feel like holiday while i was also doing work.
The jacuzzi was always an issue to turn on as well as to bother Dean to help or have him do it. As our schedule changes and cant always have apointment to have the jacuzzi turned on we felt stressed and obligated to use it and this time. We would of like to just had flexibility to turn this on and off ourself. We tried but its always an issue of not working properly. Not to mention the additional $30 change / day on top of the high cost for the room.
Overall the cost for Deans place is pretty pricy for what you get. We felt stressed and not like a holiday while staying for the week. Bit disappointed in the end not what we thought from the ad and pictures.
