Communication and responsiveness to issues were very good and appreciated. The home needs some general maintenance, as well as the exterior patio area and patio furniture. The pool was nice, but the heater did not work all week. Overall it was fine for the week - all kitchen appliances worked and grill was nice. Washer did not work all week - but maintenance did come multiple times to fix.

The house was beautiful. The problem 1st problem on Friday of our stay was the pool. Extremely filthy, large leaves, dirt, and depris. Then the pool pump wasnt working at all.I emailed 2 times but never heard back from anyone. Then the temperature dropped and we tried to heat the house. When I called Saturday January 31 to the emergency line I was told that it was to late to send anyone. The house got to 45 degrees over night. The next day a electrician came out and said the house was never wired for heat. Very disappointed because we paid alot to stay. 1 we could use the pool on Friday when it was nice and 2, no heat in the house. Someone did bring space heaters that next day. Again, the home was beautiful and clean but disappointed in the lack of upkeep ob the pool and no heat in the house.
Very dirty pool
Pool needs to be scrubbed and heater doesn't work

Stacy, I do apologize about no heat , We were not aware of that at the time. We have noted this is the listing . All properties have a pool vendor that comes weekly to service the pools , it is difficult to get them to come back a second time in the week , as they take care of many pools and many times cannot come back on a different day . I know that this can be a problem and we do apologize , we are trying to come up with a solution to this issue . Sun palace Vacations

Worked but needs work

House is fine, has a king bed and a bunk bed that our kids used. Pool was a good size for the kids, it’s not large. We had a few issues that I know can’t be helped but something to consider. Every morning we had had dead birds by the pool and the pool constantly had bird poop in it. There are currently three houses being built next door and construction started at 6am every day. The neighbors that I believe were not in a rental unit but actually own it were very noisy. Things the owners could help: the house looks neglected, like they threw it back together after the stores. It didn’t bother us but it also didn’t present well. The shower faucets are infuriating as to how to adjust the temperature. House looked clean when we walked in but then noticed the vents, bathroom fans were full of dust. Ceilings had spots of something on them. Fridge water dispenser is broken. Truly everything was fine for us in this regard. We aren’t picky people but it’s worth noting if you are or expect more. The two things that did really bother us besides the noise and birds were that someone came and blew off the property while my wife was laying by the pool. He also shattered the shells my kids had collected and had sitting out after rinsing off. I wasn’t very happy with either of these things. Also someone stopped by to take the trash out yet there are signs about taking the trash out on Thursday. Again while my wife was laying by the pool. Overall fine but not great.

Eric, this year we have had quite a time with Birds in pools, we are trying geese decoys and owls to stop them from getting in the pools , and they are too smart! So we are trying to implement a new plan, we have never experienced this in prior years and it really is an issue. We will have cleaners take a look around the property and get the things you mentioned taken care of , we appreciate that! I will also note the power washing at the pool while your wife was there I am so sorry about that , this should not have happened. Do you know was it the pool vendor? Sun Palace Vacations
