For the most part our stay at Maison Du Sud was average. There are several things to be aware of when renting this property. The outside cameras are always on and recording. The owner has the ability to live view and review daily recordings. The cameras face the pool, the patio, cabana area, front porch/yard, and driveway. So no late night swims in the buff unless you don’t mind being watched. These cameras are not for your security but for the owner to make sure his “property is not damaged”. – Direct quote from owner.

The cameras in the house were supposedly turned off but at night the infrared indicator lights were active indicating the cameras were receiving power. We put tape over the lenses just to be sure. The cameras in the house are in the living room, dining room and kitchen.

The outside area is very beautiful and the salt water pool was wonderful. The cabana area was nice but the mosquitos ran us back into the house several times. There is only two ways to get to the pool area outside from inside the house, the kitchen and the master bedroom. All other sliding glass doors have been screwed shut, which was inconvenient. The kitchen was dated and a little long in the tooth. The utensils and pots and pans were old and there was not enough glassware, and what was there was mixed and match. We bought our own large water glasses to take out to the patio area.

The house is very nicely decorated and the yard is well maintained. There are two family rooms and plenty of bathrooms. With the beautiful yard comes with the downside of the lawn services working from early in the morning until afternoon, mowers, edgers, blowers, on the patio and yard, back and front… for hours.

The master bedroom was very lovely. The bed was very comfortable and the room was a nice size. All the other rooms were well decorated and comfortable.

We won’t be renting this property again because of privacy issues related to the cameras.
