Overall - great stay in the rental, all the amenities listed, and other items provided are accurate. The pool area is nice, pool has recently been redone.
We met the host a couple times, and they were very kind, friendly and communicative.
I noticed in a few other reviews that others complained about there being "too many rules". I worried about this before arriving, my take:
- Home is in a normal neighborhood; they need to get along with/respect neighbors.
- There are rules posted in a few areas, and within a booklet that has a lot of repetition
- But really rules are: pool hours, don't leave the outdoor lights on all night, and reminder about it being a neighborhood. Nothing crazy at all, and if you put yourself in the shoes of folks who live nearby, it all seems totally understandable.
I rated this 5 stars (we loved it), but I do want to mention a couple things so folks staying are aware:
- The house does not have central air - it has 3 smaller wall units to cool. The host asks you don't run these when you are not home, which means returning to a sauna every day. I understand not wasting power, but coming home from an exhausting day of activities or just being in the sun and walking into a sauna was unfortunate.
- Slide - the slide is only available between 9a-5a each day, which really bummed out my son who looked forward to this most before our trip and most days we weren't back before 5.
