It pains me to write the words I'm going to write because the owners of this property are over-the-top nice and accommodating, but I think there needs to be a clarification in the property listing so that renters are aware of the actual situation.
The property is gorgeous and the kitchen is fantastic. It would have been the perfect home for our vacation (adults upstairs, kids downstairs), if the owner wasn't in the master bedroom during the entirety of our stay. The owner is NOT in a "separate unit," unless you consider a key lock on the master bedroom a separate unit.
It was rather awkward to bump into the owner in the courtyard in the mornings when he would take the dogs out and to see him on his patio through the giant windows that don't have coverings. We felt like we had be unusually quiet as to not disturb him and we didn't feel like we had full use of the home because of it.
Also, the adult couple had to share a bathroom with the children because the master was in use by the owner. We had 8 people (2 adults/6 kids as allowed in the listing) and 2 dogs crammed into the basement with one bathroom because we didn't have full use of the home (the garage is also off-limits, FYI).
It's also important to note that two of sleeping areas don't have A/C (laundry room/office). The kids that slept in those rooms were really hot so you may want to bring fans.
There were a couple of other discrepancies that should be noted. The property also manager tried to charge us a "pet fee" that was 3x the amount for a "pet deposit" stated in the listing (never received the deposit back). I had to prove that this wasn't correct. Also, the cleaning fee is pretty hefty and higher than normal, yet the kitchen trash was half full and food was left in the toaster. We probably could have overlooked those items, but since I'm writing this, it's important to note.
If you don't mind sharing the home with the owner, this is a great option. But, be aware: it is most definitely a shared home - not a standalone property and it would be helpful if it was listed correctly.
