Pool - if you stay here, know that you will need to pay to use the heater, if you want it - and if you rent here in January, as we did, you will definitely need the heater. I didn’t know this before booking the property about the charge. I felt that was a bit deceptive since the title of the listing stated ‘Heated Pool’. Host said the heater charge was clearly stated in the listing. When I asked him to show me a screenshot of that, he didn’t/ couldn’t because it wasn’t there. He just said that in the years of doing this , no one has ever giving him such ‘push-back’ about the pool heater and advised that I cancel my reservation. I didn’t. I figured for $250 a night, it should have been included. Maybe you, good reader, will think so, too.
Pool took 2 days to warm up. There is no solar heat cover to keep it warm overnight, as the house instructions state, so we couldn’t use it.
Outdoor dining seating - the listing photo shows an outdoor dinning set with a table and seating for 6. There is no outdoor dining table and chairs. Instead there are 3 Adirondack chairs and a rope hammock.
Inside the house, the kitchen has 3 chairs around the table so we were really counting on that outdoor table to seat all six of us at the same time. There were 4 high top chairs at the counter and 3 at a high-top bar. This doesn’t really work for young children or anyone of short stature with spinal issues.
TV - couldn’t get either of them to work. It only shows movies for purchase and when you go to purchase- it says you do not have access to purchase. I couldn’t even get the news channel on. Frustrating.
Decor - beautifully decorated. Bedrooms are lovely, loved the shells and artwork.
Furniture- couch is pleather sectional and is old. Kept separating. Not comfortable to sit on.
Beds were wonderful!
Air mattress was a nice bonus for my oldest grandson and never deflated as some air mattresses are prone to doing.
Pots and pans are very cheap. They scorched easily. Did not enjoy scouring & scrubbing them, every time I cooked with them.
Outside seating - plenty of seating , tiki hut was very nice. Grandkids loved the rope swing seating.
Once the pool heated up, they grandkids LOVED it! They swam for hours, every day we were there.
