My group stayed at this house 2 weeks ago.
Average age- 35 year old moms there for a virtual conference.
The home itself is beautiful, however, the experience with the owner has been something I would not wish upon anyone.
Issues-
-Dog Poop under the kitchen table when we arrived ( owner blamed this on her friend) The house stated not animal friendly.
- multiple pieces of glass found in lawn and pool
- smoke detectors with low batteries all over the house
-bugs in pantry from TONS of opened food packages
I would never have mentioned any of the above as I believe in second chances.
However, on the last night of our stay( Saturday) the back yard was egged (at approximately 10 pm) We had live music ( father and daughter duo singing from 7:30-9:30)
After alerting the owner- she knew immediately what neighbor it was and that they have had issues with her rental, and was thankful I had called the police.
It quickly turned into it being my issue that I had live music and that was the reason the neighbors were upset and egged? We were never once asked to keep the volume down.
Police didn't arrive until after midnight, they were surprised with the location of this luxury home. ( lots of homeless walking directly in front of the house)
I showed them the eggs and looped in the owner, Vanessa. Vanessa then asked if I could try to wipe down the eggs. I did this at 1 am and then again the next morning. She told me she would give me $500 back from my stay for the help.
Vanessa has now switched the script on her responses and turned into an issue where she is "waiting" to hear from the police to see if they are going to process a noise complaint and this will determine if I owe her or she owes me. Reminder- I am the one that called the police.
After now hearing from Vanessa on her expectations on volume for the home, I believe it is very unrealistic for a home that fits as many people as it does.
I believe she is doing this to hold me off on writing a review about my poor experience. She has also reached out to my guests asking for posts in return for cash. ( Because I was the one hosting the event, I have not looped them in on all of the bad service. Wanting them to remember a wonderful time) But as the host who payed, I would NOT RECOMMEND this place to anyone.
