The owner is very easy to talk with and quite pleasant and very helpful. She went out of her way to make a list of to-dos and of local seafood shacks that I requested. Our family had a great stay- the pool is beautiful! Through it was peaceful outside, the inside has many rules. There was a list of things not to touch- like the privacy binds.
And there are alarms… to the house, to the pool (which is quite annoying if one does not have young children) and fire alarm that will not stop beeping. Batteries were dead in most remotes and video controllers so we provided our own for our stay. Unfortunately a new battery in the smoke alarm did not change the constant beeping.
Learning a new house alarm system, trying to get that pool alarm down and the constant beeping of the smoke alarm, on top of driving 18 hours to get there was overwhelming. It took me a full day to decompress. I know all of these securities are on place for a valid reason, but if coming back, I would ask for the pool alarm to be turned off for our stay, all batteries to be replaced and anything that is broken(or on its way) be removed.
