Backyard Paradise

Beautiful and comfortable home.

Overall the stay was okay. We had an issue with the WiFi code - two of the members from our group of six had to wrap up work the afternoon/evening of our arrival and couldn’t log on as we were given the wrong code. It took the property manager at least five hours to get back to us with the correct code. There are no towel racks in either bathroom and only one hook on one of the three bedroom doors in which to hang your towel. There were six of us. We had to hang our towels over the bedroom doors in order to dry. Ceiling light bulbs need to be changed and some of the bedroom table lamps are ready to fall apart. The kitchen needs to be stocked with large serving bowls and platters. It didn’t have any serving bowls to put side dishes or chips in for dinner and no platters for cheese and crackers or carved meats. The deck furniture is not at all as pictured. Only four individual chairs and one is truly ready to collapse. There is a bench for seating on the deck but is so low that when you sit down your face is parallel to the hard plastic white banquet table that has been put out there for dining purposes. The cushions on the deck for the furniture are not meant for the furniture at all. All of this could be taken care of by the property manager and an investment in all new deck furniture. Overall, if these items are taken care of and the house was given a little more TLC, I would raise my score to a 4.5. For now, my score is a 3.5.

Excellent home overall! Great equipment, great kitchen, great pool, nice patio! Easy access to the home and driveway! Probably the best house I’ve stayed in !

House, pool, bbq, and backyard could have been cleaned better before we arrived and many things were broken or didn’t work through the house. Various outlets didn’t work and the hot water doesn’t stay one temperature when showering. Walked in to clothing tags stuck to windows, dirty floors downstairs, wet musty laundry in the washer, over-full grease trap in bbq, over-full, slimy, and broken pool bucket, broken items throughout the entire house. Fridge does not work the best, had food spoil right after purchasing because fridge does not get cold enough. Tito did offer to bring us a small fridge to make sure we had one after mentioning it to him, but we wanted our privacy and we felt things should have been checked before guests came. Upstairs bathroom doorknob came off while child was trying to exit the bathroom, my husband fixed it. With a little extra TLC, this house would be the perfect rental. It has a modern, yet old fashioned charm to it and it is right in the center of everything we wanted to do. The pool has a light for night swimming, which we never found until our last night. We had someone renting in August come knocking wanting to see the rental for a wedding, which we thought was slightly inappropriate, but not the owner's fault. Communication between rental manager and tenants could have been a bit better before arriving, but when we arrived, Tito answered my call and made sure we had access to the house immediately. Overall my family and I had a decent time.
