The views from the deck are wonderful, and the house is as spacious as advertised with lots of extras – high end appliances, pool table, fire pit, Jacuzzi, patio heater and more. But we encountered some problems that could be easily remedied.
First, the TV. After juggling three remote units, we were able to turn the TV on and to activate the sound. However, the sound tended to drop out for no apparent reason, and could be reactivated by turning the system on and off repeatedly using various buttons on the remotes: “System On/Off,” “Power,” etc. Instructions would have been helpful.
The same went for the dishwasher. It’s a state-of-the art model, but the first time we tried to use it, we could not get it to function properly. Again, there was no manual but one of our party found and downloaded a copy. Dishes successfully washed.
The grill appears to operate with both natural gas and propane. We found a tank of propane, and a natural gas outlet and connecting hose. But again, without any instructions, we decided to cook the steaks inside. They were delicious.
The only information provided by the homeowners were driving directions, how to access the property and checkout information (incorrectly listing the times that the trash area is open). If they would include basic instructions for the TV/cable/internet access and appliances – especially the gas ones – guests would be able to enjoy all of the amenities they provided.
