Very unique home, in an oasis-like setting. Owner’s artwork(including furniture) is situated throughout the property. The garden and grounds are amazing and the art is unique and inspiring. Alas, the problem is form over function. There were no comfortable chairs in the house or poolside. After mentioning this, the owner did go buy a basic lounge chair for the pool, and grabbed a chair from the closet for inside.. The kitchen was poorly stocked with cooking utensils, and not designed for cookiing, which is basically discouraged, making the lack of outside grill (despite the listing stating otherwise) even more disappointing. No screens on windows and doors was also problematic, as the owner requested doors to always be closed to keep out bugs. The direction to take out the trash nightly was annoying. The owner is a wonderful guy, and did try to address my concerns.Priivacy- The owner lives in an attached, but totally separate building; however he cleans the pool and patio every morning,, which is necessary and appreciated, as the vast flora (amazing!), while providing natural privacy, drops lots of leaves. So not great privacy from @7-8:30 every morning. The pool is unheated, so more like a cold plunge in Feb.The management company sucks- they only cleaned and changed linens once during my three week stay; refused to get adequate bathmats or enough towels, and provided only a (hot) duvet for beds. Stay for a week or less, eat out, and you will relax & enjoy!
