We read several earlier reviews that mentioned things that were broken, (spa, showers, etc.), and that repairs were promised, but not delivered. We took a chance and went in with the mindset that there might be a few hiccups, but that we would make the best of it.
The house is beautiful, spacious, and was very clean. There was one room in which about half of the electrical outlets were not working. One shower was broken, and one toilet was leaking at the base. Those were inconvenient, but minor. The biggest disappointment was that both the pool and the spa, (which were a big part of the reason we selected the property), were completely green. The pool had a thick layer of algae on top.
We contacted the property managers who relayed the message to the owner. The owner said that he contacted the pool service and they would be out that day. It was already 6 p.m. by the time he called us, so we knew that wasn't likely to happen. The pool technician did show up the next morning and made a trip back later that day and the following day. He was able to kill the algae pretty quickly and we were told that we should be able to use the pool. However, that didn't happen because all of the dead algae and organic matter simply settled to the bottom of the pool and was stirred up anytime the water was disturbed. The technician did attempt to vacuum it, but there was no automatic vacuum that could be left running overnight, just a manual vacuum. The two vacuuming sessions he gave it, and the several sessions that we gave it ourselves were not nearly enough to remove the material before we left, so we were never able to use the pool. We were able to use the spa, but that was not an adequate substitute for the pool.
To their credit, both the property management company and the owner were responsive and did make a effort to correct our main problem, but fell a bit short.
To anyone considering renting the property...it is spacious, beautiful, clean, but if there is something that is very important to you, (such as being able to use the pool), get assurances ahead of time that it is actually available.
