This is a beautiful multi-level house with stunning views of the private golf course in a great location! There were a few problems with the place, but I'm going to be as respectful as possible, as Tara was friendly and responsive. On the surface, this is a fabulous house, and the pictures look great, but once you arrive, it's obvious that whoever is taking care of this house needs to put more money into maintaining it. There are many DIY repairs throughout the house, from the paint patches to the duct tape in the kitchen cabinet holding up electrical wires, to the baling wire holding the wobbly little statue at the bottom of the main staircase. I say DIY repairs b/c I can't imagine paying anyone for that level of work. My sister-in-law was shocked (tingling sensation) by some DIY lighting strips while cleaning the kitchen counter. Three bedroom door locks didn't work. There is a window on the first floor that doesn't lock and won't stay shut all the way, so it's always ajar.
Most of the beautiful landscape pictures in the backyard are off limits. They told me this once I arrived at the house, "please respect the private property signs that say do not enter ." The area past the pool deck is off-limits, so if you're not going to let people enjoy that area, it shouldn't be advertise as such, or at least make mention in the description. I read an old comment saying it was a shame they couldn't enjoy the back area bc a pump didn't work, from what you can see, that area has not been maintained for a while now.
Finally, the microwave didn't work, but I found one in the garage that we used. The most convenient access to the house is through the garage, no remote was provided even after informing Tara there wasn't one in the house, this made it very inconvenient to access the house.
The house and location are great, but I would not stay here again given the high price and low level of maintenance.
