Owner next door unprofessional

After check in we went to lunch, upon return the owner had came in and turned off a/c and opened all the windows. Very hot! The next day the screen door closer froze up. I just removed it so able to close door. The owner sent a dozen text threatening me with the door retractor and cost of a new door!! $660. Later we were in the hot tube,, we went inside for a drink and the owner started screaming thru the window to put the top back on hot tub. She kept saying she couldn’t heat the whole island. She also threatened me with the cost of a new cover. $500. We started marking the door so able to tell when she was sneaking in. I will not be back,, the house is very dated and bed not comfortable. Proceed with caution.
