Man O Man this place is awesome. First: the backyard makes the place. We loved the inside but the outside is PERFECT. Shady at the LARGE table where you can hang out and play games or eat meals (I don't think we ever ate inside!). The pool and hot tub were perfect temperatures! (We paid extra per day to have the pool heated and it was so worth it!) At one point the hot tub wouldn't turn on so we called Mechelle and she sent someone out to fix it on THANKSGIVING DAY!!! This was well appreciated as we spent most of that day in the hot tub and pool! I've stayed at many rentals and Mechelle is top notch.
Arrival is easy. The house comes with ALL starter toiletries: enough for the first day until you get settled but not enough for whole stay, of course. Everything like: hand soap, paper towel roll, coffee filters, coffee, cooking oil, shampoo, bar soap, soft soap, dishwasher soap, dish soap, laundry soap, shampoo, conditioner, and toilet paper. We loved that there were easily enough pool towels and bath towels for our party of 8. Washer and Dryer were in the garage as is typical in warm climates. Water was filtered through the refrigerator. Refrigerator was big AND there was a SECOND fridge in the garage!
For those with mobility issues there were NO steps at this house. NOT ONE (OK, steps down into the pool and up to the hot tub). The indoor area was very accessible for anyone of any age.
The layout was interesting. 3 bedrooms are directly off of the living room (one room is right next to the couch as shown in the pictures). The main interior bathroom is near the other 2 rooms. All 3 rooms share this one bathroom as the 2nd bathroom is in the master bedroom and the 3rd bathroom is outside. This felt strange but seriously it wasn't a problem (just letting you know because it took us some time to find it! haha) and the outside bathroom is beautiful, completely new, and gorgeous with a big shower. It also serves the pool activities which is a plus. The master bathroom was my favorite with 2 separate vanities with sinks (No sharing counter space!), a separate room for shower and toilet and a large walk-in closet.
The main living room echoes a bit and sound carries quite easily so best to hang out outside at night if someone is a sensitive sleeper. All the appliances worked perfectly as did the grill outside.
This is a perfect place for a large group. And Mechelle is really on top of all of it. SO glad we found it! Thanks!
