We booked this house as an adults only weekend getaway. Sebastien was extremely responsive prior to our stay with any questions we had and he had some great recommendations. For this trip, we really were just planning on staying at the house and enjoying a kid free relaxing time with friends. The house is in a great quiet location. The outside space was wonderful! We enjoyed the pool and the fire pit and just hanging out together on the patio. Cooking dinner on the grill was also a perfect way to end our day. The kitchen is limited stocked and some of the drawers are broken which made it difficult to look around for things. There are some basic cooking ingredients such as spices, sugar, and oils available for cooking. The dishwasher also stunk. The book upon check in says the top shelf of the dishwasher is off limits. While there are linens provided, it was hard to find bath towels at first (they are in the master bedroom). The bedrooms were spacious and all seven of us had ample space to rest and rejuvenate. The master bathroom was wonderful but the upstairs guest bathroom could use a new shower liner. All in all, it was an ok stay for us.
The listing is not entirely clear in the statement that the host is on the property. While we expected a completely private getaway it is important to note, the host Sebastien and his family and pets, do seem to reside in the pool house which is only a few feet from the pool. Upon request, for our stay, he offered to stay off property, however, he was on the property two of the three days we stayed. The first day he did greet us and gave us a tour, which was nice. He asked to return later on that day to speak with someone who came to fix the pool heater, which we understood. On the last morning we saw him again parked very early outside. He was very worried about past experiences with guests damaging his property and we felt as though he was checking on us. Honestly, if he didn't want his home to be a rental, he should not rent it out.
While the outdoor space made up for some of the indoor space blemishes, we will most likely not vacation here again when looking for a private getaway.
