Jessica is a wonderful and responsive host! We celebrated my mom's 85th birthday at this newly renovated house.
The house is beautiful and the outdoor space is wonderful and fun, with a basket of pool towels. The kitchen and outdoor kitchen are lovely and welcoming. Lots of storage and counter space and easy to keep clean.
We hosted our family and friends to celebrate my mom and the amazing kitchen and entertaining space had nice appointments. We missed having some service items-platters, pitchers, etc. but we're able to improvise with some of the other items that were provided. Baking sheets/pans would be great. The other cookware was top notch and the outdoor kitchen blew our minds!
Our only disappointment upon arrival, and the only reason this review isn't 5 stars was finding out the fourth bedroom wasn't really a bedroom but rather a bunk bed in the main bedroom's closet. I would have wanted to know this before booking. It seems like a lovely room for folks travelling with children. It wasn't specified on the listing or in the photos and created some inconvenience as my sister wasn't able to come and go freely without disturbing my mom's rest. The closet doors had large frosted lites that illuminated the adjoining bedroom and vice versa when the lights were on.
The main bedroom/bath was so spectacular that having additional guests sleeping in the closet was not ideal. This space had no independent entry/exit, no window or light switch. You had to pass through the main suite to reach the bathroom or the rest of the house. And consequently, there is nowhere to hang clothes in the main bedroom or to hang towels in the ensuite bath.
This house is a brand new renovation and it is beautiful! We noticed some issues that seemed related to working out the bugs on a big renovation and we shared them with the owner and she was very receptive and appreciative of the feedback. The maintenance worker came by our first day to take care of the pool, and was receptive to our feedback about the issues we noticed, and I'm sure Jessica will have all of it buttoned up shortly:
-The amazing toilet in the master bath had some issues with the bidet function and it was hard to read the instructions on the side
-One malfunctioning patio fan
-The automatic garage door kept closing when we passed through it,
-The lock on the sliding door to the left of the kitchen wouldn't catch and lock.
Our lunch guests were happy and comfortable in this amazing space and had ample parking. The massive tv was the perfect place to show a birthday video for my mom from all the folks in her life that couldnt be with her.
Thank you so much Jessica, for your hospitality and congratulations on your lovely new renovation and our best wishes to you as you undertake this new adventure in hosting!
