Overall, this was a wonderful home and it had an amazing backyard. It was such a bonus to have a pool table, black jack table, darts and foosball. The pool was gorgeous and even bigger and better than in the photos! Also, all the flowering plants and palm trees were wonderful. We went in July (every day was 100 degrees or higher) so we didn't use the barbeque or the fire pit. The master bedroom was huge and the master bathroom was also huge and beautifully done. The other 4 bedrooms were nice, and the 2nd bathroom upstairs was beautifully upgraded. The bar was a great addition and the living room was large with a sectional that could seat at least 10 people. We used the dining table and it sat 9 people with 2 at one end. The kitchen was very nice; just a bit dark with the darker wood cabinets and black granite counters.
I rated it overall 4 out of 5 stars because of a few things. The drawbacks of the home were that the water throughout the home was no more than a cool temperature. I called the property manager and told him and he instructed me what to do so we could get hot water, but it didn't work. We were there for 3 days and had to take cool showers. Also, the ice in the refrigerator was working well, and then all of a sudden after 2 days, it stopped. I didn't bother calling again because we were too busy to deal with having vendors come out to repair things. In addition, although the pool was gorgeous, it needs some cosmetic work. We loved the waterfall but it seemed like there should have been a second waterfall on the left hand side. It would have been nice to have both working. Also, the lights on the gorgeous entry chandelier weren't working and neither were the lights over the bar counter. Lastly, the carpet on the stairs is really dirty.
I rated the value 4 out of 5 stars, because although the home was beautiful, spacious and had quite a bit of entertainment, and the pool was amazing, with all the fees (Airbnb fees, taxes and cleaning fees) $1600 a night seemed too high. If everything that I mentioned were fixed, I think $1200-$1300 would seem fair.
