Definitely Not a Luxury Home
We were looking for a larger home for our family and this listing seemed so perfect.
The pictures online looked amazing as well, and we were excited for our little "luxury" retreat.
I wish I could rate this home higher, but in all honestly we were slightly disappointed for a few reasons.
Check in was smooth, and communication with the owner and booking was seamless. The pool was also great and spotless, and the home had the space we needed for a family of 5.
However, we thought we were getting the entire home for this high price point, but after the booking was complete were informed there was a guest house. (Which was someone staying in the basement.) We could hear the person talking loud and clear, as well as we lost some sleep due to them doing laundry at 1am.
The linens were not crisp and clean as described in the previous review, and all the blankets and linens were very old and some of the throw blankets had food stains on them.
The kitchen was great for what we needed it for, but inside the drawers were very dirty with crumbs, some drawers had random junk inside, and the utensils were also very old and well used.
Little things like the remote controls for the tv were very dirty, the sunblock left in the back pool shed expired in 2020, random half used shampoo bottles left in the showers, the hairdryer in the master bathroom was covered in dust and dirt and in a basket full of other used hairbrushes.
The living room couch was very old and the front porch was also very dirty, and could use some deep cleaning.
Quite honestly it felt like we were just using someones house for a week instead of renting a luxury home to stay in.
I really wish I could rate this home higher. Has great potential to be more luxury, but definitely needs some work and further investments to get it up to a higher standard, especially for this price point.
