Prestigieuse maison familiale et résidentielle avec vue sur le golf !!!

I am so happy you enjoyed your stay here, Stella, and I would love to have you and your family stay here again! Congratulations on the success in the regatta!

I'm sorry you weren't pleased with your stay, Joan, as I always try to do my best to make guests happy. I would like to address some of your comments. The house has central heating, so it wasn't a question of warmth, but certainly I was also disappointed that we could not get the fireplace working for your 2 night stay. No certified gas fireplace repair person was available till Monday as it was not an emergency. However, you seemed very happy with the refund I offered at the time, so I am not sure why you would consider it a 'small refund'. ( The fireplace has of course since been repaired. ) The rear balcony was not in any of the photos, nor was it advertised, because it was not safe for a large group of people at the time of your stay. There is comfortable outdoor seating with tables all over the property, though, so you could have sat out back or at the front of the house and enjoyed the view quite easily as the weather was cooperating during your stay. As far as my 'stuff' is concerned, I travel a lot, and there are items from around the world that I have picked up along the way throughout the house, Persian rugs, masks, art, Asian antiques, etc, some that are quite valuable. (Most people have enjoyed and asked me about many of the items). It is certainly not like a hotel, it is a home. As I often have ten guests at a time staying in the house, it is necessary to have comfortable seating for everyone in the living room. You can see the furniture layout in the photos. And finally, the dishwasher door worked well until someone yanked it open without pushing up the latch. The latch is not easy to see, but it is there. Because of the damage, though, the dishwasher has been replaced. Again, I am very sorry you did not enjoy your stay, and think that perhaps a hotel would have been a better ( although much more expensive ) choice of accommodations for your group. Regards, Michael

I'm glad you and your friends enjoyed your stay, Courtney! I am always happy to see people make use of the fire pit.The ground level is a totally separate VRBO rental as well, so they get half of the driveway when there are guests there. Luckily, there is free parking on the street, and three extra parking spaces right in front of the house! There are supposed to be two hair dryers in the house, so thank you for pointing that out, I will buy new ones for the next guests. I hope you visit again some day!

I am glad you enjoyed your stay overall, Denise. I would like to address your comments about excess furniture. Your group only consisted of six people. However, I very often have groups of ten, and sometimes those groups have visitors, or after wedding lunches, for example. The living room has seating for eight. The dining room has seating for 8, and the kitchen has seating for six. I need all the furniture I have to accommodate larger groups. As far as decor is concerned, I am a world traveler, so I display some items I consider to be interesting...this is, after all, my home. Most people enjoy the eclectic atmosphere. It was very difficult to get this large house ready for you as there had been a group before you for two weeks who left just a few hours before you arrived, and you had very specific time consuming last minute requests. It is possible there was some dust, although I thought I had gotten it all. I am not sure why you would rent the property given your comments, as the photos clearly show the decor and the furniture. Perhaps a hotel would have been a better choice. Finally, I am sorry there were parts of your stay that didn't please you, I really do my very best to make everyone happy. ( An impossible task, my father used to tell me...)
