The home was very comfortable and the pool provided a great venue to relax. We enjoyed our stay, but there were several things that gave us pause. Despite paying a premium to stay at the house during busy season, the host asked us to do chores around the house (e.g. take the trash cans out to the curb, check the voice mail machine) and sent text messages to remind us to do these things. There were also several service men who came through the house during our stay without prior warning. The service men did not approach in a friendly or respectful way, but rather walked through the pool area where we were all lounging in our swimsuits and didn't speak to us, which was quite uncomfortable. The host stayed at a property next door and mentioned that we were under surveillance (she meant this as a joke, but given she was in fact staying right next door it felt very odd). Lastly, during check out the host toured each of the rooms in the house while we waited to make sure everything was in order. She was pleased with how we left the house, but it felt distrusting that she made us wait while she evaluated the condition we had left the house in. These inconveniences hindered our stay slightly.
