The pool was nice, but the house itself was not very comfortable. The floors were extremely dirt and we ended up wearing shoes so that our feet were not black. The lighting in the bathroom was very dim. The sheets and bedding weren’t very nice. A few simple updates and a thorough cleaning of the floors would go a long way. The house felt so empty. The kitchen was clean and the location was convenient to to the airport.
I loved the view of the pool! I did not love the 3 screens around the pool that weren't splined in around the pool, they were just hanging there, not looking attractive. I did not like the bedroom window that had only one of the shutters blocking one half the window, but not the other half. You just can't have a half blocked window, I had to put 3 bed pillows to block the view!
I fixed the front door just to feel safe, the top half of the stationary double door was latched in, but the bottom latch was so painted over, you couldn't latch it. So I used a butter knife to break through the paint, and latched it. Now it should hold. I didn't like that you patched the front door with wood putty, and then didn't bother to paint over the big 3" patch. I didn't like that the user name and password you left on the welcome card wasn't close to matching the correct name and password, and finally just figuring it out ourselves by looking at the back of the router. Light fixtures without bulbs. Bathroom light fixture so dim, you just couldn't see hardly at all. Just terribly dated. If you see the wallpaper in the bathrooms, it does match the period that the bathroom was built. Just a terribly dated house.
