Not as advertised

Spa pool Grotty and green. Both filters blocked and yuck. Had to drain it and get in touch with property manager to access woodshed for spa chemicals. Weeds growing everywhere & yard very untidy. Windows filthy throughout the house. Beautiful location, loved the house… just disappointed we couldn’t use the spa as advertised and for the price we expected a clean and tidy property.
