It's not clear in the description that the owner lives at the property, but he does. I had limited contact with him after we arrived and realized this. He seemed like a nice enough gentleman but my wife and 16 yr old daughter were not comfortable with that situation. Thankfully, we have friends in the area and were able to spend most of our time at their residences. Wasn't the plan. The "private entrance" described is only private in the fact that you don't have to go thru his house to get to your room(s). But you do have to walk in front of his all window living room. The house is very nice and the beds were comfortable. The back yard could be very nice but the upkeep was less than expected. Pool, spa, grill were all dirty. There were no instructions to use any of these amenities, I assume I needed to text the owner to ask to use, or ask how to use. I've not come across this situation in previous rentals. For the price it's a fair deal. It would be nice if the owner was more transparent in the description.
