The home itself was amazing and immaculate. The pool was warm, as expected, and the local area had a lot to offer despite the high temps. Several fabulous happy hours (must check out Eddie V’s). The downsides are mostly our oversight as well as the amount of intrusions during our stay. The pool guy cannot service the pool without coming through the home. He comes twice a week between 10:15 am - 12:00. With a dog that goes crazy every time the doorbell rings this was quite annoying. It felt a lot like waiting for cable hook-up and ate into our day in anticipation of his arrival, which varied. There is also a pool sweeper in the pool that can’t be removed that we finally asked him to change the hours of operation so we could be in the pool without feeling like we were being chased. Mild annoyance. There was an issue with the oven during our stay that the homeowner took care of immediately. He is very easy to communicate with and very nice. The garage is not for car storage. We have a fairly small model SUV and shutting the door with the car inside was problematic.
The biggest complaint we had were the AC restrictions that preferred the setting at 78 degrees. It would go to 76, but it would work it’s way back to 78 throughout the day. For an older home, with older home issues, this temp is not consistent throughout the home. The common area was fine with fans. The bedroom was rarely below 79 degrees and often above 80. Making sleeping uncomfortable. We did finally ask for permission to turn it down (we hadn’t initially because we did read the fine print on the ad and realized this was our oversight). It’s clearly remarked on in the ad. It did help. However, again it always found its way back to 78. If we were gone to happy hour or outside the temp would raise. It took hours to cool it down. We live in Southern Utah and are used to high temps. We keep our home fairly cool and as a result pay a higher utility bill in the summer. 77-78 is reserved for when we are out of town and not acceptable for when we are. I don’t like being comfort restricted and would opt to pay a higher monthly amount for the privilege to choose. Overall, great place, great mid century modern look, great location and great host. It was very pet friendly.
