This property had great reviews and even had luxurious in the name. We brought our dog for the trip, wanted a private pool so we could enjoy the sun and not leave him home alone. This house was nice but was not what we would call luxurious.
Pros:
- Nice neighborhood, felt safe
- Close to a variety of shops and restaurants (driving distance)
- Pool was clean and warm
- Patrick was helpful and quickly brought an air pump to help us inflate our pool floats
- Beach chairs, umbrella, and coolers were great for day trips to the beach
Cons:
- The indoor furnishings were just ok. we tried the queen bed since it was connected to the master bath. However, the bed frame was so creaky that it was impossible to sleep soundly, the pillows were thin. The king bed was better but not luxurious.
- The arrangement of furniture was confusing: the master bath is connected to a queen room not the king, there are several chairs outdoors but no smaller tables (except a large dining table in the gravel), lack of cushions for seating, and some rotting wood in the chairs.
- Gas grill: only one of three burners worked.
- Noise level was disruptive. The neighbors are doing major construction on their backyard. We could smell smoke from the workers while at the pool. House is also along a flight path so we would hear planes fly over
We appreciated that Patrick was very helpful and likely would have helped fix issues we encountered, but we were on a vacation and chose to make the most of the trip rather than continually reach out to a host for the hiccups we experienced.
I do hope some updates are made to make this a more comfortable stay for future guests.
