Pros: Communicative host through text messaging. Beautiful property, outside landscaping etc. Plenty of towels provided, there are cleaning supplies, soaps, spices in the kitchen, etc. Cons: Actual accommodations can use an update, like broken shutters on the deck door, which doesn't give the most privacy in that bedroom from the outdoors. Alot of furniture and walls are scratched up/paint missing, etc. The plumbing system is "fragile" so have to minimize use as well as be judicious about toilet paper use and flushing. We were nervous every time we flushed the toilet as a result. Some furniture also have unsavory-appearing stains on them, which was concerning.BIGGEST CON: We did not have a functioning A/C unit, and it was during a heat wave where there was a heat advisory and outside temps were up to 100F. The inside temp of the house never came down below 83 degrees and felt like a sticky sauna, and host's response was to stay in the pool instead if we wanted to remain cool. My colleague developed a terrible migraine by day 3 of our stay as a result from feeling so overheated. Also, only two bedrooms have a ceiling fan. There are two standing fans in the house, one in the living room and the primary (which is a weak vertical fan that did not cool the room down at all). House needs more box fans if guests cannot use the A/C, esp as the bathrooms felt like a sauna even after an ice cold shower because of no A/C and after toweling off, felt like the shower was pointless.
