First off this house was perfect! We had grandparents, grandchildren, a couple, and a sibling and having 4 bedrooms was perfect. Even better that 3 of the bedrooms all had king beds.
I cannot stress enough how great it was to open all of the patio doors and have the house completely opened up to the screened in pool area! The kids never got out of the pool!
Had some difficulty in getting the hot tub figured out as there is not information let specific to this house, only a generic Vacasa binder for their properties in this area.
The hot tub was not hot at all unless the jets were turned on, as I later figured out is because the hot tub shares a pump and heater with the pool. However if the hot tub jets are on, then the pool doesn’t heat, which normally wouldn’t be a big deal however the pump for the pool is limited to only run from 10am to 7pm, so it only heats during this time. And then anytime the hot tub jets are off, the pool heat draws cooler water from the pool and only heats it to the lower pool temp and returns 1/2 to the pool and 1/2 to the hot tub.
We also one day as we were using the pool had a woman who was the pool cleaner just walk in and tell the kids to get out of the pool, and then say that they could not swim for 2 hours. She was quite rude and refused to even entertain any possibility of a compromise to allow the kids to continue swimming. So inevitably we had a 3 and 5 year old crying/balling/screaming after they had waited all morning to go swimming. Not a great day, especially considering we were even paying for pool heat. I completely understand that the pool must be cleaned and maintained, however we had no notice, no warning, and no communication about the schedule, timing, or that we couldn’t swim for 2 hours after. We would have definitely made other plans had any of this been communicated.
Please don’t let any of this scare you away, as this truly is a great house with awesome views and a convenient location (despite traffic being a little intense in the area). Just please use this info to ask questions so that you don’t encounter surprises like we did.
