For a host it can be a tricky decision on whether they respond to a review. However, there are many omissions not mentioned in this review, that a holistic picture is required. The Rendells kindly booked with us in January 2023, for a planned stay in June. Unfortunately, our repeated attempts to establish contact, to enquire about special requirements, allergies and to offer recommendations on vehicles, transport etc. were ignored. On the day of the booking, their party arrived 4 hours before the advertised check-in time. I understand they were asked to leave their previous accommodation early. Though our cleaners were still working, we hurried them away and agreed to accommodate an early arrival. Because we were unable to complete the cleaning regiment and post inspection, we agreed to bring in the cleaner again the following day to revisit the house. In hindsight, the flexibility shown was to our detriment and we accept a 3rd visit by the cleaner could have been arranged with if this was expected. With the threat of a bad review being floated in the atmosphere we went to extra effort. When the Rendell’s complained that daylight was coming in through the bedroom windows, Michelle went out and bought two sets of thicker curtains to darken the room. Then, when the Rendell’s requested additional seating by the pool, we brought in cushioned seating. from our home and placed poolside. When, we declined to bring additional bedroom tables and chest of drawers sets for their specific needs, that did not go down well and their 3 star review became inevitable. However, saying we are not ready, is simply not factual. We take pride in our service and are proud of the memories we have helped create (see reviews). We did not advertise mosquito mesh-wiring over our windows, they get dirty, insects get stuck in them and it spoils the views of the Caribbean Sea from inside the house. Instead, we use ultrasonic pest replants plugged-in around the house. Re. parking, Mr. Rendell drove into the driveway multiple times, but some people do prefer to park on the road and walk the approximately 55 steps (or so) down the hill. I would encourage everyone to look at the photos and the description. I do apologize for the long response, but felt it necessary to provide context. We would like to thank the Rendells for their stay and encourage better communication with Hosts in the future. We will also work to continuously improve. I would also like to thank my lovely Michelle for her extraordinary efforts during this stay. Regards Phil & Michelle
