We were very surprised to learn the owners would be staying in the same house with us.
We did not feel this was made clear in the description, we wouldn't have booked if we knew these were the circumstances
Owners say you'll be in private separate areas but we had an unpleasant encounter with the owner on the first day when they accused us of bringing too many people and having one extra vehicle parked on the street (we had 10 guests and 4 vehicles for a 4 BR/3 bath house). The number of guests was discussed with the owner beforehand and we had even offered to pay extra, so the fact that there was an issue caught us off guard since this had already been addressed well before we arrived.
Before our stay we recieved a very specific email detailing odd, very strict instructions for parking. Little did we know this was just a small indication of how our stay would go.
There are strict, very intense rules about pretty much everything posted everywhere thoughtout the house and threats of fines for any infraction that we honestly just didn't feel comfortable or particularly welcome during our stay, especially with the owners just downstairs and the uncomfortable interaction we had with them.
The house itself is spacious though it has a weird layout.
The pool and patio area are breathtaking but beware - there's a substantial extra charge to use the jacuzzi on top of the regular rate you're already paying and you must give the owners at least three hours notice to heat it up?!
Also there's of course a fine if you're found to be having a party which is specifically defined in the house rule book as "three or more people."
It is 2019. One would hope a group of adults knows how to be good house guests without the need for constant threats of fines and rules, and the feeling we are being watched. This is not the experience we had hoped for on our trip.
