The house was very pretty but there was no closet access in the master bedroom so we had no where but one of the guest closets to hang our clothes which was very inconvenient and irritating and you had to disturb the other guests to get your clothes. The upstairs air conditioner was a nightmare at night. It was so hot in the two spare rooms that the guests in those rooms could not hardly sleep. Every time you turned around both thermostats were back on 75 degrees. You were constantly having to turn them down. As much as you spend you would think you would have control of the air while you were there. Both of the spare bedrooms the fans and lights would randomly come on...even in the middle of the night...very annoying! The hand towel dispenser was empty in the downstairs half bath so when you washed your hands you had to go into the kitchen to dry them. The upstairs master bathroom door would not close and if you forced it closed it would make a terrible noise. We killed 2 or 3 roaches in the master bedroom & master bathroom while we were there. We booked the house thinking there was pool access but the pool had a closed sign on it so the kids were disappointed. Unfortunately, we will probably not be renting this property again mainly due to the air conditioner situation. If you are going to control do it when it is not occupied by guests. ##### Tammy K.
