First, the best things were that the bed and pillows were updated and comfortable and the views from the deck were amazing! We had nice, shaded evenings with a good breeze.
The kitchen was reasonably stocked with pots, pans, and cooking utensils. There were plenty of cups, bowls, plates, but only limited silverware. However, as mentioned in a previous review, the freezer only worked sporadically and would not hold ice.
I went back to check the listing and it does say it in a description of the photo, but ALL of the bedrooms are located up a TINY SPIRAL stone staircase. For our group, that was difficult.
While we enjoyed ourselves, we were very dissatisfied in the condition of the pool deck lounge chairs and the chairs around the fire pit. It honestly would have been better to have an open area where you expected to bring your own chairs, as the majority were unsafe for use. I am going to guess that the pictures are in the about 5 years old.
The gas grill was basically unusable and we had to go buy charcoal for the other grill…which worked great, but the listing mentioned propane.
By 2-1/2 days in the house seemed to cool better after we contacted the host and got permission to turn down the thermostat. During these hot times, I would hope the cleaners would turn on the A/C when they leave in preparation for the next guests instead of letting the house get to well over 80. Unloading and our first day were miserably hot...you should bring extra fans!
