Thermostat won’t go below 71, master closet not for renters another closet and garage cannot use. Makes it hard for some things. Pool lights on a timer won’t come on till 8 off at 10\. I understand quite time. We like to sit out by Poole and look and lights. We have stayed in this neighborhood 3 times it’s an awesome place to rent. This one we didn’t feel welcome. We tried to go into rental 1 minute early but no soap the rental before this one when it was clean they offered it early like they appreciated you being there. I’ll go back to this neighborhood but not this rental here. ##### Robert O.
