Nice location, needs updates
In general I was pleased with the house. The location was perfect for our needs. But...
There is a fee for "additional" electrical usage. But with poor insulation/inefficient HVAC, you're going to pay.
The insulation is clearly a problem because even with the HVAC set to the required 77 all week (day time temps 90-93 F), we still managed to use about 60 kwh per day. To put it in perspective our 3100 sq ft home with the AC set to 74 only used 55 kwh a day (day time temps here this week: 95-100 F) . Clearly there are problems.
As of June 2024, the electric rate charged is 25% above average for Lee county. And the "free" portion is pro-rated if you have a partial week stay (which is not documented anywhere). That last bit is reasonable, it just should be included in the contact information.
The meter readings are also inaccurate. I never got an answer on when the arrival reading was taken, but my guess was that it was around the previous checkout time, and not the check-in time (or when we arrived at the house). Departure was at least close (about 4kwh above the meter reading I took when we left).
We fixed the ice-maker (ice frozen in bucket and delivery chute). Maybe I should send a bill for the repair?
