The house was as described and we enjoyed the pool on the hot summer nights. The beds were comfortable and the home was clean. We did have 2 issues though. First was the home was not ready for us at check in time. We had to wait outside while the cleaning crew finished up. Second, the air conditioner went out our first night there. I messaged the management about it at 8AM. We were promised their technician would be out early afternoon to fix it. That did not happen. After several messages at 3PM, 5pm, and 6PM, we were going to leave and find somewhere else to stay. It was approaching 90 degrees in the home. The maintenance tech showed up as we were preparing to leave. It was terrible service considering it was 96 degrees that day and we were not offered any compensation for the issue.
