Sandbox III

This is a very nice house but a lot of updates need to be done before we would rent again. The pool has a slow leak in it and we had to leave the hose in the pool the whole time. A lot of the deck boards need to be replaced. There was a big leak from kitchen sink that prevented us from not being able to use kitchen the last two days of our stay. The leak is now going into the room under the kitchen on the second floor. Village Reality was very quick to respond about leak.

We had a great stay here. The house had plenty of space and nice sized bedrooms. The pool area has lots of room around the concrete deck for kids to play and have chairs set up. The hot tub had issues most of the time we were there and the hot tub deck needs some work. Village staff was great about being helpful with the hot tub issues but evidently the owners of this house have contracted with a separate pool maintenance company. They were ok but didn't provide the level of service I have come to expect from Village. The beach access was great and parking area has lots of room for cars. The house has an A/C unit and thermostat for each floor. That sounds minor but, having stayed in homes in the past that have one system serving 2 floors, this was a nice feature. We have stayed in 9 different houses (for various reasons including a growing family) over the years with Village Realty. We enjoyed them all but this is the first that our family has said we would likely stay here again.

Overall the house was great for us. Lots of space, great lay out, well stocked kitchen. My only feedback is the pool definitely seemed to have a slow leak of some sort. We had the hose running in the pool the entire week and it still was very low each day. Also the heater for the hot tub and pool kept blowing a fuse. Often the pool and hot tub were not heating. Lastly several of the sink and or shower controls were loose and or dripping. Specifically the kitchen sink and the downstairs bathroom shower on the 1st floor.
