There were definitely some good aspects to our stay, but overall we were disappointed. We were offered the opportunity to check in an hour early, we ended up arriving at about 3:30 (only 30 minutes early). Within a few minutes there was an AC service man there to do an HVAC check up. We noticed immediately that the pool filter was not running, and some sort of green mold/mildew/algae was growing inside the pool and it was filled with a lot of debris. Both the owner and his son were very quick to address the issue, but we did lose the first two days of being able to use the pool. We also had a gardener, and an exterminator come during our stay. This was in addition to the pool service which was desperately needed. So a total of 4 service men coming during our stay.
Overall the home was mostly clean, aside from the showers. The shower curtain in the master bath was moldy. There were dirty bars of soap left in the showers. And the bathrooms just didn’t seem to have been thoroughly cleaned.
The beds were all made with a fitted sheet and duvet, the beds had no top sheets which was a little unsettling. I’m unsure if the duvet covers on all 8 beds are washed between stays.
After dealing with all of the communication to fix initial issues we were late to a family dinner. The first two days I was in constant communication with both the owner and his son. As much as I appreciate the communication, it became daunting to have to always be responding to texts and calls while trying to enjoy our trip.
Overall, we were disappointed with our stay due to the issues listed above, and would not return for another stay here.
The house itself was a great size, and nicely furnished. Appliances in good condition. But the issues with the pool, service men, and dirty showers/baths were quite disappointing.
