Good location but set your expectations clearly before committing

We rented this house primarily for 2 things: 1. Location from the airport and beach 2. Hot tub/pool situation. We were 5 adults and 3 children. The most disappointing aspect was that our first 2 of 4 nights were a constant back and forth with our management team about setting our hot tub temperature to somewhere between 102-104 degrees. Keep in mind, there is a hot tub heating pool fee, which we paid but you do NOT have direct control of the temperature. You have to message the property manager and they change it for you on an app. It was at best 99 degrees the first two nights and it was on a schedule from 6pm to midnight every day. I find this to be very inconvenient. If they are charging you a heating fee, they should charge you and ensure that the heat it set to a level of satisfaction that is within reason. Asking to set at 102-104 is NOT unreasonable. Keep in mind, both of our families have hot tubs and we wanted it hot but unfortunately even by day 3, although it was satisfactory, it was at best 101. And to ask for it to be on during the day when it's cool because it's before 6pm was ridiculous. Other comments limited details bc of limit on characters:Owners drove by TWICE asking to turn off front porch light and 3rd floor lights (big brother vibes)House is outdated but serviceableAll the towels had to be rewashed bc of mildew smellNot an open patio/living concept as stickers everywhere stating to keep patio doors closed.Can't control Nest temp (Set at 70)
