Year-Round Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Private Vineyard, Lake Views

This was my first time booking a home on VRBO. This property was well maintained and in an ideal location in West Kelowna. Within walking distance to several very fine winerys. Also a great barbeque place called The Hatching Post. Some of the best food we have had in a long time. Only 250 yards up from the property. Pooyan was available whenever I needed something which was once. The kids and adults enjoyed the pool and slide. The sauna was great for the adults as well. If I was to do this again, I would look at this property. Wasn't disappointed at all!

It was everything that was advertised. The location is excellent for wine tours and to travel to the lake or other sites around Kelowna.

The host was great at getting back to us. My biggest disappointment was the house needs a deep ! Cleaning ! from Floors to ceiling. And kitchen cupboards drawers. Very dusty and hair everywhere. That ment I had to wash pots or certain things before using them. The kitchen has all you need but it needs to be cleaner for what I am use too.great balcony and pool deck. The yard is amazing heated pool hot tub was fabulous. Close and walking distance to winery park and resturant . Love the deer the vineyard scenery . The views are great from the house. Very safe area .

PROS1) Plenty of space.2) Friendly and communicative host.3) Luxurious to have a private pool, hot tub and waterslide.4) Generally neutral decor.5) Wonderful to have a games room for our kid. 6) The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels.7) Nice open view across the vine fields and a glimpse of the lake.CONS:1) The listing didn't specify that the owner lives in the house, in a separate unit. There's always a feeling of less privacy when the owner is so close, even though they have their own entrance and are not seen or heard. 2) It's a "smart home" which is always a headache. Hard to figure out the controls, you always have Google listening for possible commands, the temperature was auto-lowered to 19 degrees the first night etc. 3) There was no advance mention of the "macerating toilet" on the lower floor where the king bedroom is located. Every time you flush it makes a terrible loud noise that will wake up your partner if you go to the washroom in the middle of the night. And not only that, it will start "macerating" loudly even if you're just showering or running water in the sink. 4) The cleanliness was okay, but not great. There was swimwear left by the poolside, hairs in the hot tub, and dust bunnies here and there inside. 5) There are notes everywhere telling you what to do or not to do, and you get a multi-page "house guide" with rules. 6) There was still occasional construction noise from a new complex right next door.
