Overall we had a great stay at this beautiful property but as other reviewers noted, it needs a little TLC and updating. For example-the main stove in the kitchen-all the dial info is worn off so you have no idea which is up or down & only one of the 4 burners got hot enough to boil water, two only warm and one wouldn't come on at all. The second stove/oven in the laundry room didn't work at all. So try cooking meals for 8 people with only one working burner! Oven was the same way, did not work properly. On the positive side, the second refrigerator in the laundry room was a huge plus and we could not have done without it. The bedroom on the left on the top floor, the inside shower-the water never got hot and the outside shower blew only water sideways. Very hard for the couple staying in that room to get ready, The main bedroom on the top floor was great, but again, the inside shower didn't work properly and water only dribbled out so we HAD to use the outside shower (which worked fine) but if there was anyone out on the water they could see me! Communication with host was slow at best, I even asked for a second number because the first girl would take so long to reply. Enjoyed having the daily maid and the guy next door that watched the house, even though it was a little strange at first at the end we felt better with him "keeping guard" lol. All flaws aside, the house itself is beautifully set on the water and the pool is amazing (even though lots of missing/broken tiles).
