We stayed at this property for an extended visit (30 days), expecting privacy, comfort, and a peaceful environment consistent with the price point. Unfortunately, the experience fell short. Given the number of positive reviews, this was particularly unexpected.Within the first week, issues were significant enough that the host provided a discount. While appreciated, the concern was not financial-it was the inability to have an enjoyable, uninterrupted stay. Several core amenities were not functioning, including the pool temperature control, intermittent Wi-Fi (televisions and theater sometimes unusable), a broken dishwasher, and multiple non-operational fireplaces. Additionally, an alarm system went off randomly in the middle of the night.More concerning was the lack of privacy. Despite confirming exterior cameras were off, they remained motion-activated & there were unannounced entries.The home felt less like a guest property and more like an occupied residence, with extensive personal photos, locked areas, and “no access” signs. Even small details, such as a “no shoes on carpet” sign, made it feel more controlled than welcoming-particularly over a long-term stay. Pool was shallow (mostly 5 ft). At this price level, guests expect a seamless, private stay. Instead, this experience was defined by ongoing disruptions, incomplete amenities, and limited privacy. Future guests, particularly long-term, may wish to confirm expectations around privacy, access, & functionality
