The house was clean and comfortable. The pool was certainly enjoyable and communication clear.
My 3 star review is in regards to the price point and host requests. There are parts of the house the are renovated, but the majority is not, therefore the price point seems a bit high. Also, I reported a busted float(which I discovered was spilling foam pellets into the pool and wanted to let the owner know out of goodwill) and we were required to pay for the float damage even though I am not certain that WE damaged it or if it already was damaged.
We also got a request for a damaged towel expense—-even though we did not have a single incident with a towel.
I found it interesting for the host to be so particular when the house itself is not in pristine condition, in my opinion.
I also did not like that we had to wash, dry and fold the beach towels for the next guest. When I spend that much per night and on a cleaning fee, I like to be able to just enjoy the time.
On a matter of principle, these things bothered me and caused me to not want to stay there again. But other than that, the place was clean and the beds were comfortable. There was a nice welcome basket and it was a good location.
I appreciated that the hot water issue was mentioned in the listing, because otherwise that would have been a HUGE disappointment, because it does not get very hot at all. At best, warm.
I’ve never left a 3 star review before and I feel a bit bad doing so, but I rely heavily on reviews when looking for a place and I wanted to give my honest review.
