- Initially it seemed like the main living area upstairs and kitchen had air conditioning as it had “vents”, however that was not the case, but I really liked the “breeze through” design of the upstairs area.We had a couple of things not working (hot water) and microwave, but host was very responsive outside of normal hours and found a solution both times.Neil Piggott
- Very unique indoor/outdoor living area. We enjoyed the large patio’s. It would be nice if the waterfall did not turn on so early in the morning. Every morning the waterfall came on at 6:38am, it’s very loud. It’s hard to have a conservation over coffee with the noise. Would be nice it didn’t come on until 8 or so. Also there is no bathroom door in the downstairs bathroom but what really is interesting is the lack of curtains on the windows in the shower that look into the neighbor’s house. Overall, the house is great. It accommodated a large group with plenty of space. The area for bbqing was fabulous.Guest
- Pool was awesome! Everything was perfect except no AC in main kitchen & living room. Exterior stairs to get up/down, so don't recommend for families with little ones. Sliding doors down are really hard to open. Loved the pool table and setup downstairs. Entire home is great - we loved it. Just needs AC up and interior staircase. Outside was a dream! Our adult kids had a blast!Debra Goethals
