I'm a bit conflicted on this review. The place has a number of features I really liked. The main house is warm and inviting. The pool/jacuzzi area has a nice setup. It offers lots of sun, shade, and has a lovely tree canopy. And the extra guest house was a nice bonus (we didn't really use it).
Our overall experience wasn't quite there though.
I'm hopeful these areas can be addressed for future renters.
1. The pool jacuzzi did not work (we told them it was a filter problem). But, it wasn't fixed when we left. We also noted that we couldn't get the pool lights to work. So, that limited night activities. There are some lights around the pool. But the pool was dark. This was a major disappointment.
2. The hosts sent out what I thought were excessive messages about things NOT do at the house. We probably had 4 messages about the trash policy and a couple about the noise policy. I understand that they may have had previous renters that were ill-behaved. But, I just didn't feel welcome in the home from the start.
3. The A/C. This may be a bit picky. The central A/C in the main house works reasonably well. But, the bedrooms will be 5+ degrees hotter than the main home. This was a problem for our children who have trouble sleeping if the temp is above 70 degrees. They ended up sleeping in the living room on the sofas. That may be specific to our kids. We didn't use the guest house much. But I feel like it would have been more of a problem there (2 window A/C units, one in the kitchen and one in the main bedroom). There was a children's bedroom in there with bunk beds and I think it would be hard to cool.
