Communication with the host was fine.
Location was ideal as it was a short distsnce from FLL airport and the restaurant we were having our family reunion.
Kate was accommodating when one of the guests arrived early and allowed us to check-in earlier than anticipated.
The view is spectacular and visually stunning.
Cons
Prior to my arrival, I received 3 separate communications with the house rules and regulations. I found this excessive. There were about TWENTY rules outlined. Most were common sense, some were plain ridiculous. It made us feel like we were walking on eggshells the entire stay.
Around 9 am the first morning we were there, I received another reminder from Kate about taking out the trash. This was annoying because we didn't need a reminder as it had already been outlined in the 3 prior house rule communications we received.
We had plumbing issues with every bathroom in the house. When I notified Kate of the 1st clogged tub it was fixed immediately. When the 2nd issue ocurred and I notified Kate, she responded by saying someone must have put hair down there. I found that very insulting and presumptuous. (FYI. We all had braids)
Overall, the house can use some updating in certain areas,however. It was comfortable and we felt very safe during our stay.
