Casa Chillota-Private HEATED Pool, InTown, Close to Sandfest, Boat Parking, Pets

The place just needs a little tune up and a deep cleaning. No extra towels for pool, no extra trash bags for emptying kitchen trash. Good bones and location!

Had a great experience. Enjoyed the house. Was a large enough for our whole crew and the swimming pool was an added bonus.

Property was perfect for mix of adults and teens. Great location and plenty of space.

When we arrived, we found dirty socks and the temperature in the house was 80 degrees. I immediately started communicating with the host. The host said they would send someone out to look at the AC. We thought we would make the best of it and swim in the heated pool, but the pool was not heated! I again got with the host who told me that the pool was so big (which it was not) that it would take awhile to heat up and asked if I still wanted it. I told her yes because my grandchildren were looking forward to it. She said she would send maintenance out. The AC repairman showed up and attempted to fix the AC and left without saying anything. I contacted the host to inquire about the Ac and pool. She said they could not fix the air so someone would be bringing window units and that the Maintenance person for the pool would either be by that night or early morning to start the pool. The Maintenance person arrived with only 2 window units and I asked him to at least put them in the bedrooms upstairs. He did, and when he left, my grandson turned on the light in the bedroom and the power went out. I again contacted the host to inquire about the air, power being out, and the pool. She answered me back by saying the power may be a GFI from the bathroom. I told her that did not work, so they sent someone out. My kids and grandkids were miserable sleeping in the house because it was hot. I am trying to finish typing my review but spacing in the box does not allow. Terrible Experience,

We loved the house but couldn’t get property mgr to call back. Main TV in living room never would work, but we just did other activities instead. Plenty of hot water in bathrooms, but only intermittent hot water in the kitchen. What’s up with that? Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Everything was clean! The pool was a little dirty at arrival but pool got cleaned next day! The property had a lot of room to park especially with our boat no issues at all! I wish they would have had the gas grille as mentioned in the listing! Had a small pit we made it work! Overall great place will stay again in the future!

Pool was nice and warm!

The house was cute and had a small pool. The location was close to the beach and easy to find food places. The only draw back was that one of the hand railing was loose and I was afraid the children or my handicap sister-in-law would fall down. The pool was not very clean. I called the rental office about the pool. They said they would sent someone out but the pool cleaners never came.

The good... The size and layout of the house was great for our group. Three sets of adults, plus all five kids in the bunk room, with each room having their own bathroom was great. Interior was clean with a beachy theme. Per previous reviews, we brought our own extra bowls, kitchen utensils, etc, which was definitely needed. Otherwise, house was stocked as described. Ample parking and great location. The bad... The pool is much smaller than it appears in the photos. As one review mentioned, there is no shade anywhere, except under the small porch. There is a house being built directly behind this home, so while we were there, it was loud and uncomfortable with construction workers looking down on our teenage daughter while at the pool. The pool was extremely dirty. Sand and cardboard all over the bottom and our children found the skimmer full of beer cans. The entire outdoor area seems to be an afterthought. The yard (both front and back) was full of fire ant mounds, which two of our children stepped in and received several ant bites. The door handle to the upstairs front porch was very difficult to open and close, leaving people outside stuck, until someone inside could open it. And lastly, the downstairs king bed was extremely uncomfortable and very creaky with every move. We visit Port A several times each summer and have so for many years. Our group consensus was we probably would not stay here again, unless some updates were made to the outdoor space. For the price, I would expect a bit more attention to detail.

The inside of the property is cute and clean. It would be nice to have a reasonably sized set of pots and pans and some better organization to the kitchen. Dish washer needs to be de-scaled. Perfect size for our group(9 people) you could comfortably fit a free more. Outside did not have as much seating or shade as shown in pictures. Only share was from narrow back porch and a small cover over the pool, BBQ is rusted out, but did have new grated on it. Having a light over the grill area would be helpful for night grilling. Pool was clean and cold. Back yard could use some work. There were A LOT of mosquitoes(inside also), ants, and stickers. There’s no sir t access to the beach. You have to drive to an access road. Overall, not a bad place, just a few small upgrades would be nice.
