(The Amazing Pool House)
It’s “okay” at best.
I hate to ramble on in a review, I’ll simply list the pros and cons and you can make a decision for yourself🙂
PRO’s
-Cleanliness 5/5
The home was extremely clean and well put together during arrival.
-cooking supplies and amenities provided for the most part.
-spacious compared to the Vegas Strip
-Great A/C system, which is of course very important for the location.
-Towels provided for the pool.
CONS’s
-Location 1/5
The neighborhood where this home is located is very rough. To the point where you are almost forced to push & lock a large metal gate in front of the house each and every time you leave. For instance, there were homeless sleeping on a mattress outside across the street. Another instance we came across was neighbors “peeping” into the backyard through the fence while we swam and enjoyed the “amazing pool”.
-The Pool 1/5
The Amazing Pool House did not have such an “Amazing Pool”… Upon arrival which was about 11pm we had to check and see what the pool looked like, I was excited to say the least. It looked well kept up with and peaceful! The next day we grabbed supplies like a few rafts from the store. Upon entering the pool in 100f degree weather we came to the realization that the pool was about as cold as the Alaskan Tundra which seemed absurd to me considering we are in the desert! It was uncomfortably cold, much past the “refreshing” description some may think when they put hot weather and a cold pool in the same sentence. However, we pushed through, we didn’t pay for the Amazing Pool House to not enjoy its best amenity! Here lied the biggest issue with the pool, once we got “comfortable” we had a few visitors… hornets! There were so many hornets and they were not happy! There must be a large nest nearby, we had killed about 20 hornets before we gave up on the pool. My boyfriend was stung/bit twice upon jumping in the pool for the first time! The last issue with the pool was the privacy, there are two scenarios we dealt with that I was extremely dissatisfied with, number one is that there is a Ring Doorbell Camera facing the pool in the backyard at all times, this was extremely uncomfortable and hard to wrap my head around, I felt like my privacy was invaded. On top of that the neighbors directly behind the house were “peeking” through the cracks in the fence, for about an hour. I told them to stop and they continued as if I didn’t say anything, moving pieces of wood on the other side of the fence out of the way just to get a peek… very odd.
-The Beds & Bedrooms 2/5
The first night we slept here I knew it was going to be a long trip. The beds are extremely uncomfortable, squeaky and they like to sink you in the middle of the bed. There were also no extra blankets included which was unfortunate because the sheets and comforters were itchy and uncomfortable. The last complaint I have would be the lack of storage to unpack your clothes for the remainder of the trip. There are no cabinets or dressers for storage and only small closets with about 5-8 hangers for a few shirts, this was disappointing. We ended up using a straw basket used as a visual effect to store our clothing in because we had no where else to keep our clothes.
-I’m not sure if it’s the home owner or someone else but I came to realize someone else is living in this home while we were staying there. I’m not sure if it was Liz or someone else but that was a complete shock. We found this out after struggling to park our vehicle in the driveway because cars would park in front of the house and make it close to impossible to pull in our rental without getting inches from the other vehicles. Someone walked outside of the same house we were staying at through a side door, she didn’t introduce herself or say anything at all, I felt like this was extremely odd and it would have been nice to know this was a “townhouse”.
Another very odd thing about this home is the guest shower won’t get hot, it was cold the entire trip. The main bedrooms shower got very hot. Also there was a lack of toilet paper, only 1 extra roll per bathroom, that was fine but seemed to be a small amount for the housing capacity.
