I ultimately was very disappointed with the rental. Nowhere in the listing does it mention that the owner will be staying on the property the entire time. Not only does the owner stay on the property, but he stays in an RV in the driveway of the main house and asks you not to use the driveway so he can. He insists that he meets you at check-in to hand over keys, but there are no actual keys to give. Instead, he wants to show you around the property and literally grab your phone to hook up to Bluetooth; all things that could have easily been included in the manual. I found this very uncomfortable. He also left his wallet, open computer and drink sitting on the desk inside the pool clubhouse after check-in not picking up his personal items to barge in the next am.
The owner comes onto the property and inside the clubhouse every single morning. He says it is to clean the pool and use his desk inside the pool clubhouse; NONE of which was mentioned in the listing. I found this to be extremely disturbing. I came down one morning in my pajamas to find him still inside. He had gone around the clubhouse picking up our belongings and “gathering them”. To be clear, this was a bachelorette trip with only females, one of which was pumping/breastfeeding and another pregnant, so privacy was something that was very much needed. The owner came down one evening to the pool bringing down photos(??) to his desk area and proceeded to linger around the pool clubhouse talking to guests.
One of my guests woke up and saw other owner inside the garage running on the treadmill. Why did I pay money to use the property when I am not even able to use the property privately as promised? If I had wanted interaction, I would have stayed at a hotel with a concierge.
Furthermore, there is only one entry at the front of the main house. The RV sits in the main driveway and any entry/exit into the main house front door forces you to walk right by the RV. There are no back stairs up the steep hill into the main house. Additionally, the only inside stairwell has a large window with no window treatments with the RV sitting 3 feet away outside staring right in.
The whole experience was extremely strange and it really ruined the entire weekend. I was deceived by the listing and stuck in an uncomfortable situation that I had not agreed to. Any complaint made at the time would require direct inappropriate confrontation with the owner looming over us. False advertising!!!
