Spectacular & Unique Mediterranean Mansion - 9000+ Square Feet

The price is unbeatable. The place is huge with great views. Everyone I stayed with was commenting how comfortable the beds were and how soft the comforters were. The bedding was unbelievable. We were blessed with great weather. Overall we had a great stay and we would stay again.
It would not be good feedback if we did not leave areas of opportunity. First off, I read the last review and my only concern was that the pool or jacuzzi would not be operational. Well of course my luck the Jacuzzi and pool was not warm when we arrived so the pool man was called and he came out the next day. The pool man said he set the pool so warm that water evaporated and the heater stopped working. The pool man assured me this would be up and running in 24 hours, which would make the pool warm my 3rd day. Well Day 5 the pool was the same as it was and the pool man said he is only a "cleaner" and not a maintenance man and he thought he had already lost this job , which he said only made him 30 bucks a visit which he spends in gas. Meanwhile the rental agent was emailing me saying the pool man said I was satisfied and the pool was 80 degrees. I explained to the broker the pool was 60 degrees and the pool man was not being truthful. When I asked the pool man what happened to the pool being warm in 24 hours; the pool man told me it would take 3 days because this is 30k gallons. My impression since another home we visited did not have a warm pool was that these heaters break and the money is not spent to fix the heaters. The agent offered me 2 extra nights which I was not interested in since I had booked my flight and 7 days was overkill already, as I am usually ready to come home after 4-5 days anywhere. Luckily we did have a couple that extended their stay so this was acceptable.
A couple of minor issues with a TV that would not turn on that looked like it was recently installed. I did not have any issues with any updates or lack there of. I thought the decor was fine. We were able to figure everything out for the most part but I did notice some other homes have a reference book tabbed with who to call, how to work the remotes, thermostat, pool, trash, etc.. You can not beat the price. Maintaining a rental to 100% satisfaction when you are not there is near impossible especially a bigger home since there is more to go wrong. if you are considering this place, then stop thinking about it and book it before someone else does. You wont find cheaper for this size.

We were disappointed that the house was not as claimed, and in need of MANY repairs. Exterior doors would not open and/or close, cabinet doors were broken in the kitchen and bath areas, showers and sink faucets leaked, many light fixtures burnt out, speaker system did not function properly, and during storms there were major roof leaks into the interior of the home. We had trash cans set out all over to catch the rainwater - very slippery on marble floor. Exterior of home and pool area were covered with black mildew, pool heater and hot tub operation were not working correctly (we could only operate by pulling or putting in fuse). We had to call in the pool guy to clean the pool at our own expense, there wasn't even a net to use so we could clean out the pool. No fire extinguishers or working smoke detector at all in the house. The advertised "gourmet" kitchen was definitely not, appliances were old and in rough condition and the flat screen tv in living room was more of a computer monitor size screen. Only two public beaches - north end has good shelling but you have to cross a channel to get to it (watch for low tide schedule). South end was better but crowded. This could be a beautiful house if fixed up and maintained. If the house was repaired we might consider staying again but definitely would not go back or recommend in it's current condition. We did contact owner and property manager upon our return home but had little response, mainly excuses. Also, because the other 5-star ratings are from someone in Miami it seems as though it's the owners friends or relatives giving the rating to boost their score. If we had been given reviews from more actual renters our own decision to rent would have been different - which is why we are sharing our own experiences for others to read.
