Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed staying at Bauhinia. The property was comfortable, cozy & colorful. The only draw back was it's proximity to Captiva Drive so there was some road noise all the time while inside and out of the house. Also other home construction/renovation in the area made it noisy the entire week. Generally the home was clean, but it needed a deep cleaning inside & out. The screened pool area needed a good sweeping and the spider cob webs cleared. The pool area storage closet was a mess & we straightened it out. The outside of the home needed a good power washing. Some renovation debris was left outside the screened pool area. Inside, the kitchen stainless steel appliances did not seem to be wiped down when we arrived. The underside areas where the sinks and counters meet need a better cleaning. The cabinets & drawers could be more organized & loose knives were just put in random drawers and could cut someone, if they were not paying attention while searching for other items from the drawers. All kitchen cabinets & drawers could be more organized so finding kitchen items would be easier. The plantation shutters and light fixtures were dusty. The twin beds were not converted to a king as requested in our reservation & as again requested prior to arrival with a follow up phone call to the realty office. The cleaning company was supposed to come back to take care of some of the cleaning issues, but never showed. The maintenance crew of Rod & Jose were excellent. Also the rugs on the tile floors were a slipping hazard and needed some slip resistant mats underneath them in addition to a good cleaning. The outdoor shower did not work, but the garden hose did. If these items had been taken care of, our stay would have been perfect! We would consider staying at this property again though for it's comfort, coziness and location. The property just need a little tender loving care.
