This property is in a good location for privacy, peace, and quiet. The hot tub is great with pretty good views. Definitely plan on driving to pretty much any activities and/or restaurants since it is off in a relatively secluded area.
Our only real complaint is that the water has a definite sulfur smell and taste, so plan on bringing your own drinking water and smelling like sulfur after you shower. It's not awful - similar to visiting a hot spring. Just something to be aware of...
We loved the location, layout, amenities and the house itself! One thing we were unprepared for was the horrible sulfur smell of the water. I’m not talking about a slight whiff—the smell of rotten eggs permeates the entire house when water is running. Taking showers seems gross; washing dishes in that water is questionable. At the least, a heads up to bring drinking water and water for the coffee pot, etc. would have been appreciated.Not at all the fault of the homeowner, but we encountered a major issue with a main line clog while we were there. It caused the downstairs bathroom to be unusable, and the response from the management company was unacceptable. They sent a handyman almost 24 hours later to try to unclog a toilet with a plunger, which we had already tried. No plumber was sent, and we dealt with sewage backing up into the downstairs tub so that we could not shower upstairs for fear of causing a worse backup, and we tried to minimize using the upstairs toilet. Not at all the vacation getaway we imagined.
