We rented this house over Christmas and New Year’s for a month, beginning December 18th, 2016. When we arrived, the pool was 72 degrees. Julie, the property manager, said she had just turned the heater on and it was set at 85 degrees. The heated pool was $300.00 extra for the heat and we agreed to this cost. The pool did not heat up until the 30th December, TWELVE DAYS INTO OUR RENTAL. This was after many calls and texts indicating that the pool wouldn’t get up to 85. We were told that it was because of the wind and outside temperature. It would never get to 85 degrees, if the pump only ran for four hours each day!. Also, Ducks were mating in the pool and pooping in it every day, so no swimming until the 26th, and no heat yet. It required a temporary fence and streamers on sticks to keep the ducks out. Julie responded to these problems, but twelve days! The kitchen faucet leaked the first night, the kitchen counters are all etched with stains, 75% of the outside lights didn’t work from corrosion, windows and screens were dirty(I hosed them all off), garage door sensor broke, so wouldn’t close(it was taped up, so had broken before), screen doors on three bedrooms don’t have locking mechanisms, no TV in three of the bedrooms, including none in the master bedroom, tile grout in master bath was moldy, Cable and wifi not working when we arrived and took a week before we had cable. We had to be there for three hours with the cable man, because Julie was on a boat ride. Wifi didn’t get fixed until after Christmas, needed a new router. No dressers or chairs in three of the bedrooms, no window coverings in the kitchen windows that face the driveway/front of house, or in the big bay window of dining room. The furniture in the living room is very uncomfortable and the jack n jill bathroom floor is a hazard with stones that stick up above the grout. Very uncomfortable to stand or walk on in bare feet. Not able to walk or ride bikes from the house because there is no room on the road to be safe, no sidewalk at all. Even though the house seems to be in a beautiful Bay, you cannot swim in it at all. It is mirky and like a swamp when the tide is out. Ultimately, if the major things had not happened, ie: ducks, pool, cable and wifi, we could have overlooked the rest of the problems. The things did get fixed and cleaned, but on our vacation time.
