The host is an excellent communicator. The house is in a nice neighborhood and the pool is definitely the highlight of the place. The pool has a ton of toys for kids and the backyard is great. The house is decorated nicely and the beds are comfortable.
The only issues we had while there are the thermostat is a nest smart controller and the owner has it locked down so the coolest you can get is 71. It’s also programmed to get warmer at night so we had folks wake up sweating. It also seemed to know when we left because we would come back and it would be set at 73. Not a huge deal but a minor inconvenience. The other issue was that the host only provides one roll of toilet paper per bathroom per visit. With a family of 8 we went through it pretty quick as the rolls provided were partial rolls. We had to wind up going out to buy our own toilet paper, however the host did say he would reimburse us but we had to make a fuss about it.
The home also didn’t have any towel racks or anywhere to hang a towel. Also no shelves in the showers to put razors or soap or shampoo. There are also a lack of garbage cans in the home. Kind of weird. It could use some fresh paint but not a big deal.
Over all it’s a good house to stay in if you’ve got swimmers and you don’t mind not being able to control the thermostat.
