We rented the house for a family vacation. The house was very nice overall.
Pros- the elevator, the garage, the large open gathering area. Also, the beds were comfortable, house sleeps 14 in 6 bedrooms (2/2/4/2/2/2). Master bedroom was HUGE. Rooftop area was good for sunning/hanging out with a little ocean view and a small fridge. Kitchen Ice maker was awesome, two dishwashers, and wine fridge were handy. There is a gas grill and a charcoal grill.
Cons- we had two golf carts and 3 cars, parking was a bit of a shuffle. Appliances were a little outdated, there is a lack of serving bowls for family dinners. Most interior doors (like the bathrooms) are missing locks…awkward. There are at least 30 light switches on the main floor, we never did find the pool lights!
Other things- there is a strict noise ordinance but the landscaper was leaf blowing at 7:30 am. The pool guy showed up twice unexpectedly to dump 200lbs of salt in the pool and other maintenance. The exterminator showed up for a termite inspection. The management company came unannounced because the city meter indicated there was water running constantly (there wasn’t) but they checked all possible sources. To me, I felt like they were all spies!
Bring games, there isn’t much other than puzzles. The house could really benefit from a ping pong table in the garage, plenty of room.
