This review is solely to inform those interested in renting this property. First, there are the house rules. No shoes in the house. We were told when we arrived at the front door to remove our shoes. Next, do not roll your luggage across the floor, carry them into the bedrooms. The thermostat's had to be continuously adjusted as they are the NEST type. The rules on the settings are in the "House rules book" located on the kitchen counter. The pool access steps do not have a handrail nor does the hot tub. I will take the blame for this as I never inquired about it, I just assumed that all inground pools do .Being seniors with some mobility issues, it made the pool and tub inaccessible. The TV in the main bedroom needs to be replaced. Sigrid was aware of this. Workmen were scheduled during the week which was not a big issue with us, may be for others. Sigrid lives on the property, in a detached home next to the garage. Like almost every home in America (except mine) the front door has ring doorbell. Kitchen has all you would need, utensils, pots, pans and even somethings you would not expect, spices, coffees etc. The main bedroom shower is a bit tight , no shelf for bottles. Outdoor photos need an update. The location is great, Smiths supermarket is 5 minutes away as well as take out and dine in places. Overall, just really disappointed with the pool access. Should have asked prior. Sigrid cares about her guest and will ask if everything is well during your stay.
