Thank you for your feedback and for noting that you enjoyed the kitchen. We’re sorry for any confusion regarding the pool. The pool is professionally maintained, and while there is some visible wear to the lining, this is cosmetic only and does not impact cleanliness or usability. This information is noted in the listing and guest portal prior to arrival. We appreciate your comments and the opportunity to clarify.

Very clean and updated. Close to things to do. Pool table was nice.
Very good. Only problem we had was to run out of propane gas for the grill and garbage bags. I’m trying to get a receipt for the gas but the vendor did not email a receipt as the instructions said they would.
On the plus side, the house itself was very nice, with a great location, very walkable and safe. Plenty of towels and seating, comfortable beds and living area furniture (indoor & outdoor). Great water pressure for showering! We had to contact management upon arrival about a patio door not locking and they responded and took care of it very quickly. As for the negatives, the cleanliness could use some work. Dishes had to be washed before we used them (dishwasher was very loud), the windows were filthy, and the coffeemaker leaked. There were no measuring spoons, bath mats, kitchen dish cloths, or pool thermometer. No lawn service was completed during our 2 month stay. The sprinklers were not running so the lawn was dried out. Also worth mentioning is that garbage trucks run 3 days of the week in the area. (Garbage/recycling on Tuesday, garbage again on Friday, and lawn waste on Saturday). We have an anxious dog and hearing the trucks starting at 5:30 am made for a rough start to the day. I understand this is not something that is controlled by the homeowner or management, but other renters might appreciate the heads up.
Nice location. Close to Fisherman Village. Nice neighborhood.Living room and kitchen were great. Well furnished with everything we needed for cooking.Bedrooms were small but all have tvs and comfortable beds. Bathrooms were small but ok. Showers were dated but water was hot and pressure was great.

We rented this home for family because it was very close to our own. It was spotless when my son and his family checked in. They honestly didn't 'live' there as they were at our house most all the time but they enjoyed the house and found it very comfortable. The owners/manager were easy to deal with and offered us a very early check in which was very considerate.
Was a nice house, could have used some more spoons as there are only 4. The spatuala they had was not useable. The floors were filthy.
