Bill and Jennifer are obviously really cool people. They have a really chill thing going on, and they are definitely willing to do everything possible to make your stay enjoyable. If you are looking for a unique, quaint, efficient and pleasurable getaway then this rental definitely meets those criteria. However, if you are looking for privacy, look elsewhere.

The advertisement discloses that the owners occupy the upper floors, but it also gives the impression that the room and the pool area are kept private for the renter's use only. This is certainly not the case. The occupants of the house and their guests randomly access the upper floors by a staircase that runs directly through the pool area which is advertised as "private".

I may be in the minority, but I dont consider an area to be private if random strangers are unexpectedly traversing said area, in full view, with regular frequency. In fact I'm pretty sure that's the opposite of private.

That being said, this really is a great little place to rent. Just be aware that you won't have any privacy unless you're closed up inside the room - which I guess is the case for any local motel when you think about it.

My advice to the owners would be to change your advertisement, so that renters like us do not get the false impression that we will have privacy, only to be disappointed.
