We love and are grateful for all of our guests - and we don't wish to seem overly strict - however we need to stress the importance of following our pool rules.

We are one of the very few short term rental properties allowing guests access to a heatable pool, all year round for a few good reasons:

One is the high cost of energy which is why we charge for water heating at actual cost.

The other is our liability for guests who take it amongst themselves to operate the pool and heating systems in a faulty manor, therefore damaging expensive components and causing significant maintenance and repairs.

Let's all do our part to adhere to these guidelines so that our guests may enjoy our heated pool and spa for a long time to come.

We welcome you and/or your group to enjoy, have fun and experience our unique space in it's entirety, responsibly and safely.

Happy Booking,

Marcus (Owner)
Epik Recording Studios

Scammer
Claims we damaged the carpet when we didn’t even go in to the room. Had a bunch of instruments so we didn’t enter the room. Charged me $300 extra for “say carpet cleaning” Didn’t even warn or ask about it. Do not waste your money on this property. back Lights didn’t work, bathroom was dirty, communicated to charge me for extra people but didn’t have the decency to call and ask about the carpet. obviously didn’t check the house well prior to renting it.

Birthday party
The place had a great atmosphere for my sons 16th birthday party. And by the time the sun was going down and everyone leaving, the home was perfect for the 3 of us to relax and wind down after a great day of fun in the sun. It was perfect.

Family trip
The place needs maintenance- Pool & Jacuzzi: pump was not working, the water was cloudy. I understand things happen- but the pool looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in weeks- pool filter was very dirty. He shocked the pool the day we arrived- we didn’t want to be burned by chemicals so we didn’t use it until the last day. The listing has 4 bedrooms & 3 baths. There are only 3 bedroom & a mattress leaning against (what used to be a diningroom) wall. The 3rd bath was a shed outside (for poolside use) it wasn’t clean & the air conditioner did not work. The sink was moldy as well as the dishwasher. Communication with the host was spotty. No discount was offered- we rented because of the pool. We wanted to relax all weekend by the pool - but everyone was so disappointed by the property it really made it difficult.

Outstanding Host and Unique Property
This was an incredible property that was set up for a very specific niche (recording artists). While we didn't need or utilize all of the amazing equipment, we were blown away by the property. What a perfect place to chill and record your breakout song! Marcus is an awesome host with a heart of gold. The guests prior to us trashed this beautiful property. Marcus worked around the clock to have the place ready for us, despite us being a one night stay and not his typical niche guests. We were just a family of 6 looking for a cool place to crash. I highly recommend this property and Marcus as a host who will do what it takes to take care of the customer.
