Gut: Sauberkeit, Check-in, Kommunikation und Lage
Beautiful, but...
The property itself is lovely, with views and access to the ocean. The space is wonderful for big groups, with a tennis court, theatre room, game room and gathering space. It was the perfect location/space for our families. The short walk to Taylor Bay, and help from the butler Kemali to set up chairs and umbrellas for us, was wonderful. HIs attention to detail was very welcome.
However, there were some things that caused concern. The home itself needs some TLC. Some outdoor chairs are in disrepair, as are the canvas awnings over the pavillion patios. Pool tiles are missing. But most upsetting was discovering that the Bunk Bed room, used by young children, is the only bedroom in the main house. It is physically distanced from all other (parent) bedrooms, which are in other buildings. The only access to this bedroom is a walkway that goes directly to the pier and ocean. The room can be locked with bolts from the outside, but who wants children locked inside a room if there was a fire? There is no mention on the website that this bedroom is isolated from all other bedrooms. It was upsetting to learn this upon arrival and parents were rightfully concerned.
The butler service was nice, but we did not need two butlers each day. We often felt like we had visitors sharing our vacation home with us. (generally 8 am to 8 pm). It was not always relaxing/comfortable.
We were told the house is being totally renovated in January 2025. This should eliminate many of the issues we had.
