The good: The place is very clean and in a good location.
The bad: The gate to the driveway is dangerous, confusing, a hassle, and unreliable. The access to the property is right on a major highway, and for some reason, there is an automatic gate placed on a major highway to gain access. This means that you have to either punch in a code on a keypad or use a remote fob to open the gate, while your car is halfway in the street. Backing out is no fun either. a few times, the key fobs didn't seem to work, so I had to get out of the car and punch in the code with traffic buzzing by my car.
The ugly: The host is extremely direct and abundant in his communications. There are PLENTY of signs, emails, chats, and a whole notebook of what you can do, can't do, should do, shouldn't do, how to do it, when to do it and why you should do it. If I would have spent the time to read everything, it would have spent too much time reading and not on the beach.
There was a plumbing problem when we arrived. No big deal, understandable. The problem was this: The host told me on the phone that if the plumber discovered that we had placed something in the toilet, that he wanted to talk about charging us. Listen, all I did was report the plumbing problem to him, now he wants to bring up the subject of charging me. How about bringing up the topic of charging me AFTER you discover I've actually done something wrong?
Then I get a text chat message that says exactly this and typed this way: "If YOU or your GUESTS damage or break the hot tub, YOU bought it! Your card will be charged $5,600!" I replied, "ME or MY GUEST will not use YOUR hot tub!" Geeze. Can you please relax? I have less emotional stress when I am at home, not on vacation.
The place is definitely clean and nice, but the host's aggressive communications and wanting to charge me for things felt oppressive.
