I will start with the positives:
- the home is big and spacious and the beach is lovely; and
- the host is reasonable.
BUT, there was a very significant mosquito plague that made the home almost uninhabitable. To stay there, we had to invest in a number of mosquito zappers and other deterrents, as the home was just not set up for the mosquito breeding ground in which it seems to be located. The carnage of dead mosquitos was unbelievable, and we were not able to enjoy the outdoor spaces as much as we’d hoped.
There were a few other more minor issues, like the inaccuracy of arrival instructions (written for people arriving from the south, not north), the fact the host forgot to turn on the alarm, the fact that the pillows are yellowed and need replacing, the fact that the sprinklers come on every morning and soak the washing line, the fact that the only cleaning products in the home are the ones we left there, etc.
Otherwise, the home is quite lovely and on a really beautiful stretch of coast. If the hosts are able to attend to their mosquito problem, it would be a great place to stay.
