“Cute rental, nice pool, bugs were issues.”

This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on all reviews.

Response from the owner This is our first negative review on numerous booking websites in over three years and we are sorry our guests didn’t appreciate our efforts. There are two glass-cutting boards on the counter – for sanitary purposes we do not provide a wooden cutting board. Additional garbage bags are under the lid of the garbage container under the sink (there is a label on the lid indicating this) and there are more garbage bags in the kitchen drawer. The kitchen is very thoroughly cleaned prior to our guests’ arrival and there may be a very slight residue of mineral deposit around the taps as we do have hard water here. Admittedly, the BBQ shows signs of use and is cleaned as best as possible without going to extremes. We try very hard to be quiet upstairs particularly in the early hours as well as in the evening. The pool area is sprayed regularly with environmental repellants and yet not every insect can be eliminated. Our guests did enjoy the pool constantly while here for three days and it was late on the very last night that one of them got stung. We promptly provided them with first aid, anti sting treatments. The evening before checkout we advised our guests that we had more guests checking in immediately upon their departure and yet they did not checkout until 20 minutes after the posted check out time. If we seemed less friendly and didn’t visit with them upon departure it was only because we had a lot of time to make up in getting the suite prepared for the next guests. Once in the suite, after checkout, we observed that we had an additional amount of preparation time needed and consequently immediately marked this guest file as “return not acceptable”. We are pleased to see in the comments that these guests would not ask to return.
