Ok so ..... this place is BEAUTIFUL looks just like pictures BUT it definitely is smaller in person the photographer did good on the angles. However I came into a couple of issues during my stay that would knock my 5 star to a 4 star The first thing was the host switching the check in time an hour before it was time to check in understanding it may have been a late house cleaner or something and safety measures are high rite now it just annoyed me that it happened just an hour before. Another is upon arriving we were greeted by the host & her family . Granted it is very nice to meet the host and or other members of the home but that isn’t what I paid for my self and my family are veryyy introverted people and to get there after the check in time and still see the family hanging around wasn’t ok for me. First, getting there more than 30 mins after the changed check in time her son was still there cleaning out the pool & then after he was done As I am rushing to set up the grill to start my own family function he stayed out in the back yard (no warning) playing basketball & she was still walking around the yard doing things, I asked them if this was a shared bnb because I didn’t see that in the description, she said no but this is my son and he likes to play basketball & will be out to play in the backyard.
(btw with a bit of an attitude or firmness in her voice if you will)
Ok cool ! but if you are renting your home & backyard out your family should take a day or however long your guest stay is & take a break from the backyard and let the guest be comfortable, not everyone wants to be that interactive with strangers , we definitely didn’t so that weird vybe in the beginning threw my energy off for the remainder of my stay honestly. but once we made them aware that we wanted privacy (got a lil firm back) they did give us the privacy so I was happy for that. The stay all together was good my family enjoyed the home and the backyard space was a nice little get away from our nosey neighborhood, it just was the first impression was off FOR ME so I wouldn’t book again. If you are a peoples person and like to interact and hang out with your host then this place is perfect for you.
