Let me start off by saying the location is incredible. We really loved having the beach right outside the house! Careful tho, wear your shoes, it’s not all beach, you walk through some spiky spurs, thorns and plants walking down to the Beach area, the photos are very dated from the current state of the house. We had a full house which included two babies under 9m, one toddler 2.5 yrs and an 84yr old. Warning: the only stair case to get down to the pool area is a spiral stair case, I ended up having to book a secondary rental down the road for my grandmother to stay at with my uncle because it was not realistic for her to stay there. There is a glass gate to the top of the stairs, but if you have small children you MUST keep an eye on them. The second floor balcony glass banister is stunning but it’s loose, keep the kids far away from the bbq and balcony area
(we were warned about this upon first meeting property manager that this was an issue in the past) 5 out of the 8 days we were there, the AC in the main living area stopped working (which is another reason I had to move my grandma, it got very hot) managers got ac people there who stated they could not fix it within the duration of our trip. We had some issues with bugs in the kitchen which the management had pest control out there the next day. The toilets backed up, upper floor could not flush for a day, they did get people out there eventually. Unfortunately it is not well maintained with water damage and broken lights. Another way to get down from the front door to the pool is going around the house, but the grate at the top of that walk way is rusted and missing slats, I had a guest slip into it and had to get a tetanus shot due to the rust. The pool bar drain does not work, we had to scoop out dirty water from the bar area with a bucket when the hosts said they weren’t sure how to address the issue. There’s free electric in the master bedroom, we had to move the toddler out of that room because it was unsafe PROS: the location is beautiful, the pool is very large, it came with floats, snorkels (which we left a few behind for future guests), the second kitchen down by the pool area is very handy when making lunch. OK for a large ADULT family. Managers OK with gatherings. The dated decor did not bother us at all. Basic Safety updates and regular maintenance would benefit this property and it would almost be worth the asking nightly rate. Update to listing needed. Managers were very nice
