Very good

The house itself was good. Check in was easy! Communication was always great. The neighbourhood was pretty noisy at night and dogs barking all night. Overall we were happy with our stay and enjoyed the pool!
The host wasn’t very helpful.Pool and surrounds were littered with old dead leaves and the pool was very murky with lots of leave on the bottom.House was fine.I seriously would not recommend this house also because of its position. Woken at 3am to neighbours sing on the top of their lungs and playing music.Other neighbours yelled out trying to stop it. That went on for 2 solid hours then another fight broke out with a man being bashed with a log. Really not a nice area.1 window could not be locked, my door from the main bedroom was ajar, thank goodness I checked it.Bathroom vent not working. Microwave terrible. Leaks from the pool chlorinator and air conditioning. That has been happening for so long mould was growing. No dryer. There should be a lock for the carport. Was given wrong entry instructions. I was given a number code to enter front gate , that was impossible because it was just a card entry gadget. I just hope the owner sees this response and changes his management team.

Hi Toni,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
Unfortunately, the tropical weather during your stay meant the pool and outdoor area were not usable, this is typical of the weather at this time of the year but can limit your outdoor fun, especially with a pet.
Our apologies for the list of issues you mentioned, we note that these were not reported during your stay and could have easily been resolved.
We certainly regret the disturbance in the street and were happy to hear that police responded promptly.
Your comments have been shared with all departments, and we appreciate your feedback in helping us continue improving the guest experience
Kind regards,
The Boutique Collection Team
