Beautiful property with amazing decks! It’s obvious this was once a high end home, and is now a rental (carpets show their wear, etc). But for the price, in that area, we were very happy. We fit 2 families with 10 teens/adults very comfortably. Some things were left undone by the cleaning staff, so we went searching for sheets, hand towels, toilet paper etc, but the bathrooms were very clean and the owner was super responsive and sent someone that same day to finish the rest.

The property was not well maintained. There were outlet covers missing. The framing around one of the bedroom doors was severely damaged and there was an over abundance of garbage when we arrived. The bins were full and there was stinking garbage left in the garage

Nice, spacious home with beautiful views from the decks.

The host, Ali, was great and accommodating. Thank you! He responded to questions quickly. After our stay there in early August, we agreed with the other reviews that it got too hot inside during the day without air conditioning. But the evenings did cool off and there was a supply of fans. Our biggest concern was that the cleaning service used perfumed laundry soap and cleaning products that were pretty strong smelling. We ended up re-washing all of the sheets beforehand to try and mitigate the smell for sleeping. But the bath towels were great and plentiful! They also did not do a great job cleaning. There were dog hairs on the living room furniture and a dead cockroach in the entry. A few lightbulbs had blown, most importantly the one in the stairwell to the downstairs bedrooms that got pretty dark at night. The toilet plumbing in the downstairs bathroom was fragile and one sink had no running water through the hot valve. Also, the listing featured a hot tub that was actually a tub sauna in the bathroom. But the decks were great, spacious, and beautiful views. And the neighborhood was quiet. We had a nice couple of days there.
