Disappointing
A Christmas vacation in Alabama. The weather was cold and windy. Good points: the kitchen had all the appliances we needed. The nearness to the beach. Beach toys. Baby gates. Soft sheets. Most beds were comfy. Washer and dryer worked well. Bad points: This house was advertised as having a heated pool. When we arrived, the notebook did not include instructions for turning on the heater so I messaged the host. Her response gave instructions as if the heater would work and admonished us to not leave it on the whole time or we would be charged extra. Turns out the pool heater didn’t work at all. When we checked earlier reviews, it shows a broken pool heater two months before our visit and those occupants were told it was missing a part. So don’t expect a warm pool. As this heated pool was our main reason for picking this property we feel cheated. Inside the house the main floor master suite had a noisy bed with a sunken mattress. The bunk bedroom had no heat coming in the register (yes, we checked that it was open). So those occupants slept in all their clothes just to be comfortable. At the base of the house in the middle of the carport was a weed growing out of the concrete pad with painful stickers (Sand spurs or lawn burweed) that was almost unavoidable because they had not done any yard maintenance. Overall this was a disappointing family experience.
