A lot of smoke and mirrors. This home has a lot of potential, as you can see in the listing photos. Unfortunately, I found out after arrival that the photos are the same ones on Zillow when it was on the market. All the furniture is different. No dressers for storage, three couches in the living room, with old side chairs shoved in the window area now so not as much open space. If you are staying for an extended time, this can be a total bummer. There is a known issue of ants throughout the house. The recommend to not keep food out, but all the cabinets are filled with so much of their stuff and stuff left from prior visitors, that it is like the whole house is a giant junk drawer. We had to leave our dry goods and snacks piled on the counter, then ants would get into our food. The ants were also coming into our beds and bitting us. The front yard is dead with dirty furniture to sit on, so we never did. There was piles of palm cutting left out front and you could hear the rustling of rodents in it. I had them come haul it away. (There is a known rodent problem in the area) The gardener told me they only let him do the minimum to keep the property up and only once a month. The side patio photos are years old and does not look that put together anymore. The host staff tried to be as helpful with making the property right, but it was putting lipstick on a pig at this point. I ended up working with air bnb to help me resolve my issues, which they did. Unfortunately with covid, everyone is working with a skeleton crew it seems, and trying to call would end up with literals 5.5 hours of my second day of being there. I resorted to the chat line, but their customer service is mainly based over seas, so their response would be in the middle of the night. Sometimes withs a couple day delay. As of yesterday, which is over a week since we got home, I am done fighting this, and received a partial refund. I have recommended that they update their photos to be more accurate. I just feel it is very misleading, and honestly I would not have rented here had I seen the actual photos.
I you are looking to host a big group and just let loose and not care of your surrounding, than this would be a good fit for you. We are a family with older kids and just wanted a good, clean location to be able to walk around and have our dogs with us. The dogs loved it, other than that was no actual grass or yard that wasn't dirt.
