We’ve rented over 50 luxury vacation homes, and this is the first negative review I’ve ever written. I felt obligated to warn other families.Despite the positive reviews, our experience was very different. If you are traveling with children, I strongly recommend avoiding this house.Doors leading to the pool can’t be locked from inside — we had to block them with furniture to protect our kids. The upstairs loft has a built-in desk easy for kids to climb, creating a 14-foot fall risk.We were told not to roll suitcases, warned to keep windows shut due to homeless concerns (despite no AC and hot temps), and signs everywhere told us not to touch anything — it felt like staying in a museum, not a vacation home.We received a call warning us about kids playing “too loudly” in the pool, and signs banned games like Marco Polo because it “drives everyone crazy.” Our kids were simply having normal, daytime fun.There’s no usable beach — the shoreline is rocky and unsafe for barefoot play.A neighbor aggressively yelled at a young female in our group over temporary roadside parking.We left the house spotless (confirmed by the property manager), yet were unfairly accused of causing damage — what was shown were tiny marks consistent with normal use.Other surprises: poop in the pool on arrival, wild boars roaming the yard, and no basic toiletries like shampoo.This was by far the least welcoming experience we've ever had.We do not recommend this property for families.
