We arrived after 10pm the first night (after driving from the airport about 3h) and there was no grace on departure time. Should we have stayed even one hour later, we would have been charged by the hour, and this wasn’t really even an option granted by the owner. The cleaners were there well before 10am and just stood staring at us while we tried to move out. The rules and smoke alarms scared us from doing much in the kitchen. We tried making bacon (gently baked) our first morning and the smoke alarms went crazy. That first night, everything was closed, so there was no chance of the pizza advertised or cafe. Lots of extra and unfriendly charges. We always leave places cleaner than when we arrive. Felt our family was being punished for other renters that are not as respectful. If you leave one coffee cup or cable out of place, that’s a $25 to $75 fee. For all these rules that come in CAPs and highlighted, things should’ve worked better like the under microwave light, ceiling fan light, tvs and remotes, bedding (was worn and pillows inconsistent with no spare pillow slips). We didn’t need wrist bands at pool, so not sure how many snuck it that didn’t belong and made it more crowded. The home was once very nicely decorated but time is showing wear on mattresses and sofas. The cornices/window tapestries were expensive originally. Now, I find that the window coverings date the place and blocks out 20% light in each room.
