I rented this place for my boyfriends birthday party. We wanted a swimming pool. Before he accepted my request, i had agreed to only having 6 guests and also no smoking or loud music was allowed. We also agreed on paying an extra $200 to host a party and we did pay it on the day of in cash. Upon arrival, the place was not what we saw on pictures. It had flags all over and plants everywhere even on the tables in the pool house. The host lives in the main house fyi. The pool is also small for a party, you can not do laps. I wanted to cancel the party but my boyfriend thought we could make it work.
The host has 5 dogs that he lets out periodically, they are friendly however there is no privacy. Our guests were supposed to come from noon to 6pm. Unfortunately some arrived around 3 pm so it ended up being 12 of us. Since the host comes out periodically with dogs, he ofcourse asked for more money for the extra guests which i agreed to pay. Come 5:20 pm the host came out with the dogs and let us know that the guests had to leave by 6pm. We asked for extra time and offered him money but he refused. He also said that my boyfriend and i couldn't have access to the pool after 6pm because he has to clean it and prepare for his next guests. That was it for us. We left. Needless to say we had paid for 2 days but only used the place for exactly 15hrs.
The host told us we couldn't have a speaker by the pool.
We used some of his towels and he wasnt happy about it.
We had to move the plants from the tables just to make space for food.
We all ended up at our pool till 10pm so our day ended well :-)
