Kitchen needs upgrade. Instructions upon arrival should be better. We like “hot water” all over, especially in the bathroom showers. Spa is to be hot, not luke warm. ##### Michael G. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ch R. 5 Jan 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Not as advertised, left early The rental was not what we expected. The main reason we selected this house was to spend our time in the backyard in the pool. But the backyard and pool area were not what is shown in the photos. It is so far from what is advertised and it is unusable. The pool was dirty and had several cracks and missing tiles.The lounge chairs could not be used. Every chair was broken so badly that you could not sit in them.We also found several issues with the house, including-No hot water in the shower, it wouldn’t warm up after several minutes.The kitchen slider was open when we arrived. We felt very unsafe.Several things were in disrepair- most chairs/couches have stains, the carpet has stains, the bathroom fixtures in the guest bathroom are coming off the wall, there are no screens on any windows, the sliding doors are very difficult to open/close and lock.The primary bathroom toilet got clogged. We tried to fix it with the plunger, but the plunger was broken.The house is decorated very nicely. It is beautiful. But because of these other issues, we left after one night. We contacted the property owner to address these issues but never got a response. ##### Ch R.
