The Merlot home was very clean, everything from beds to bathrooms to furniture and kitchen. The spa was ready to go and easy to use and there were plenty of pool towels, umbrellas, and chairs/patio furniture by the pool. There was also a spacious bbq grill area with a large barn table which fit 13 of us perfectly. This house has plenty of space indoors and out. We had 3 kids on our trip (ages 12,10, and 6) and they had plenty of space to have fun as there is a large yard as well. All but 1 room has its own bathroom which is perfect for families and large groups. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms in the Casita were very spacious and steps away from the main house. The home was decorated nicely with a rustic yet modern vibe and everything seemed to be new. We also liked that there is a restroom outside to use while you are in the pool. It was super convenient. The ping pong table outside provided entertainment while taking breaks from the pool and at night the pool table inside provided hours of fun late into the night. Contacting management was easy through the VRBO app and they were great about responding. When we arrived the door code for the house was different than for the casitas so i notified them and they quickly worked on getting the correct code for me. The pool has no heater but we didn't have a problem with the water being cold, only slightly chilly late in the evening but there was a spa so we would switch over to the warm water. The temperature is adjustable so it doesn't have to be steaming hot if you don't like that. I would definitely recommend the Merlot home and I would definitely stay here again in the future.
