The house was clean and felt safe. Our experience was good but not as great as we had hoped. The house was comfortable for our party of 10 and we enjoyed being able to fish off the private dock. We chose this house solely for the HEATED pool and hot tub. We had numerous problems with the heating of the pool, which had to be done offsite by the homeowner. The number we were to text for assistance was not always promptly responsive which caused hiccups with our swimming plans. The cookware available in the home was well-used so most things we tried to cook were burned. The bed in the pool room was a swinging bed with no way to stabilize which made it challenging for adults to sleep. The bathroom in the pool room was not air-conditioned so was very warm with no air circulation. For these reasons, we would likely not stay here again.

Thank you for your stay and for taking the time to share your experience as well as the great photos! Regarding the pool heating- the pool and spa heater can’t be used at one time. While controlling the pool heater remotely we noticed that the spa heater had been turned on from the panel at the home. Which is totally fine! However, this will shut the pool heater off. We were happy to turn the pool heater back on but it does take some time for the pool to heat fully each time it was turned off when the spa heater was turned on at the home. We sincerely apologize for any confusion on this and that you weren’t able to enjoy the pool heater at the same time. As far as the pool room- this room is not advertised in the listing as a sleeping area. We do not include this bed in terms of sleeping arrangements or occupancy number. There is a split AC unit in this room that works great and is operated using a remote. We do welcome our guests to utilize this as a sleeping area if desired, of course. But is not included in the listing as it is separate from the main area of the home. We will be replacing any burned cookware and appreciate you bringing this to our attention as well. We are happy you were able to enjoy the home and it’s amenities otherwise!

Our host was amazing! I received timely responses during the reservation period and through the stay. Unfortunately, there was an unforeseen issue with the pool and a storm that came through which caused some problems. The host was so helpful and communicated with me very well as we got things sorted out.The house was beautiful and the location would be extremely hard to beat. Quiet neighborhood, close to quiet beaches, food and other amenities. Can say enough about how happy we were to stay here.

Sadly this place needs significant maintenance and attention.The property has clearly had good reviews in the past, which is why we booked it, but on arrival the home felt quite neglected. Major issues were,Strong urine-like odor in the living room that got significantly worse with each day. It was masked at first by heavy cleaning product smells.Multiple roaches, we killed several during our stay, including 2 in my parents’ bed. This was a big reason our extended family left early.Moldy pillows in the downstairs bedroom (which also had a non-working A/C unit)20 cigarette butts (I texted them this 5 minutes after arriving) and beer cans scattered around the pool area and property, which we cleaned up. Holes in all the dining room chair seats, so we ate outside.Broken tile in the living area that cut my son’s foot (we had to cover it).Water leaking into the house during the 3rd night during a storm, more roaches appearing, and overall poor pest control.It was disappointing. We tried to make the best of it & didn’t want to complain constantly during our short family trip, but the issues kept piling up to the point we checked out a day early. The cleaners did a good job with what they could (sheets were clean, heavy bleach/Fabulosa smell upon arrival), but the house itself needs real maintenance, sealing, roof/leak repairs, painting, furniture replacement, and better ongoing pest control. I would proceed with caution staying here.
