But alas, they have not. We booked this place for my wedding weekend. The temperature range for the weekend was 100°-105° and heres the kicker, the AC wasnt strong enough to cool the house down during the day. We were literally sweating all day, every day of the trip. Also, the showers are broken(plumbing issue), where the water will be scorching hot and you try to adjust it and youll be standing there freezing waiting for it to get scorching again. This is every single shower. At night the house cooled down, but we're not here to talk about the bare minimum of my expectations. I reached out to them to let them know, all they said was this was "news to them about the water"... and didnt say anything about AC.. which BTW, my mother in law looked at reviews after our trip and read aallllll about it on there. So someones not telling the truth. They are continuing to rent this place out as if there arent any issues. They sent an AC tech out at 9:30pm our last night.. gee, thanks. They said they would give me $150 back from a $1400 booking, all of which i was sweating like a pig during the day. I have pics of AC holding steady at 85° ALL DAY. The $150 was honestly a slap in the face anyways and they NEVER EVEN DID THAT. I hope this helps the next family who wants to actually enjoy their vacation. ##### Jessica B.
