The Good:
The house was very clean. It’s a beautiful space ( especially the living room ). I loved the zen garden area between two of the rooms. The beds are comfortable and there are many! Plenty of room for a large group. The pool is a great place to relax.
The Bad:
When we arrived the thermostat was on 86 and heat. It was almost 90 degrees in the house. And I had my 70 year old mother and small children with me. We were sweating for hours before it finally cooled down — after turning on all of the ceiling fans to high and going to Walmart to buy 4 box fans to add to the 2 we had brought with us. It took until the next morning for 90% of the house to feel comfortable.
I say 90% because, even with 3 fans in it, the converted garage room with 4 beds stayed feeling ~ 80 degrees and humid.
To add to our heating woes: We left to go out for a bit one day and returned to the nest thermostat at 84 degrees. This time it was on cool, not heat. So at least it wasn’t over 84 degrees.. I guess.
The next day it happened again. Fairly certain it’s automated to change the temperature.
And cooling it back down is hard and takes forever because the house has multiple ceiling to floor windows without any curtains or blinds. Especially in the living room. The sun beams straight in.
The lack of curtains also made sleeping painful.. as there are no curtains in the rooms that have a window next to the motion activated flood light at the front door.
If you don’t mind:
* Arriving to an indoor sauna
* Fighting the automatic nest thermostat
* Being awoken by light pouring into your curtain-less room because something set off the motion detector.. or you can sleep through anything
Then go for it. Otherwise.. I’d recommend staying clear of this place. At least in the summer.
