Summary: We stayed at this place for over a week. The best part to this place was Fatima who lived on the property. She was always there to help. The owner was very responsive when we first inquired about the property.Things that went wrong:1. Dryer did not work2. Lights flickered in all rooms including the fridge3. Landscape was not well maintained. Ants crawling everywhere which made it hard to walk on the grass. There was dog poop in certain areas of the backyard and the area smelled on pee.4. Pool area had stone breaking off- which cut my foot. Slide was not well managed.5. House was not stocked with necessities, especially for people renting the place for more than 3 days.My recommendation to owner is to do a bit of cleanup of the property and pool area. Check on all the appliances in the house. We could not even use the oven.None the less, location was great.
