I will say that your responsiveness to our needs was 5 star and that the location was as well. I did want to share a few things that may help to accommodate guests in the future. The property is a great layout and beautiful home. However, for advertising as a luxury home, there are many items that would well be addressed. I have listed a few of the most important to us, as guests, below:
1. The safety fence around the pool was not secure. The bracket that attached the door to the fence constantly broke apart. For guests that had 5 children between the ages of 2 and 6, this was a constant worry for us.
2. The pool operation system did not work. We had to ask the pool service man to help us to adjust the spa and temps while he was there, but even then, it was not functioning properly
3. Several pieces of furniture were heavily worn, and even broken. Particularly, one of the chairs in the dining room had a broken leg and it was propped up to look functional. Upon seating at our first dinner, my business partner had a pretty rough fall when the seat collapsed under him.
4. All 4 of the propane tanks that were at the property were empty. We paid a large amount to sit on the patio and watch the sunset in front of the fireplace. It would have been nice if it had fuel.
5. The outdoor kitchen that is displayed ever so nicely in the listing pictures is completely inspirational. The fridge does not work. The grill does not work. And the outdoor sink leaks water all over the patio if used.
6. The additional grill provided was filthy, only partially operational (broken burner), and out of gas. This was particularly disappointing given the quarantine situation and that we had intended to grill every night there.
7. There were NO grilling utensils located at the house
8. There were no beach chairs at the house. This was something that I inquired about prior to check in and Julia from Cal Vacation Homes confirmed via email that there were 4 beach chairs.
9.The home audio system that is advertised does not function. It is out of date and incompatible with any of today’s technology.
10. The towels provided were torn, stain and badly worn out.
11. The garbage disposal does not work
12. Many of the outlets throughout the house did not work
Overall, We loved the location and made the best of it, but I feel that advertising this home as luxury, these items would be functional.
