Concur with JT's review. It is not a luxury villa and the photos misrepresent. The owner is very responsive. Too bad it didn't work out.
- Much of the pool furniture in the photos was not present: the umbrella, the lounge chairs, and the dining set.
- The pool area was filthy, with food and dead animal bones on the pool deck
- The pool surface under the water is wearing away and chipped throughout the floor of the pool
- The backyard was not clean like in the photos, it needed raking
- One table was broken and frayed and not representative of a “Luxury Villa.”
- There was not grass in the backyard area. It is fake yard turf, and it had debris in it that should be cleaned out.
- The turf also is buckling and coming undone, looks bad and not representative of “luxury.”
- Pool cleaning tools and toys were left strewn in the yard.
- The game room was not in the house, but in the garage. The picture on the website misrepresents the actual room. It disguises the garage by cropping the garage out. If you look at the photo, the area to the left is where the car parking area and garage storage are. This "room" does not have air conditioning, rendering the game room impossible to use. Temperatures were 100 degrees+ when I was there.
- The master bedroom shower didn’t work (the handle could not be moved so I couldn’t get hot water to come out)
- The master shower was moldy and stained along the caulk lines
- The master bath didn’t have a door. It had a curtain for a “door.” The curtain was filthy with stains.
- The master bath rug was dirty, I went ahead and put it through laundry
- The master toilet ran a lot; it made a lot of noise. Wiggling the handle did not fix it
- The master bed sags in the middle because the supports underneath are broken and bent
- Many electrical outlets didn’t work
- The master bedroom fan filthy with dust
- The bedside lamp had a broken and frayed lamp shade
- The kitchen sink was clogged and not draining
- The food pantry was filthy with sticky food and stains
- The outsides of the cabinet doors and drawers were filthy with stains
- The fireplace ledge was dirty. Prior tenant spilled something on it
- The front door didn't lock easily. You had to jiggle it repeatedly to get it to work.
- The baseboard throughout the property is stained.
The poor maid was asked to come and make things better, and she tried, but this was an embarrassing situation as she could only do so much. I tipped her anyway.
