Summary: As a place to sleep and take in the view, this is a great place. As a functioning house, it’s lacking.
Good: Amazing location and view, high enough off the Strand to be away from the hustle bustle but close enough for a 2-min walk to the beach or 15-min walk to outstanding restaurants and ice cream. Great breezes through the doors and windows. Really nice local welcome gift of coffee, tea, honey from the island.
Meh: The kitchen has minimal tools. It could definitely be cleaner. Bugs galore at night (not unique to this house).
Beware: Read the description carefully as this house has one full bathroom, one outdoor toilet and sink (rustic but with privacy), an outdoor shower for rinsing off (no privacy), and two bedrooms. The “bunkroom” is actually a hallway with bunks built in but lacking a door.
Unfortunately, we arrived to find that the dishwashers were in such a state of filth and disrepair that they no longer cleaned or drained. Maintenance was able to get them running again, but they are still not 100%. The washer could not stay on balance to wash even a half a dozen small items (certainly not the full load advised for water conservation) and did not function during our entire week stay. Similarly, the dryer did not dry, and maintenance said that it never will as installed for lack of air flow. The property management reps were responsive but did not seem to understand that they were inconveniencing us on our holiday. As you might imagine, we never thought our Christmas week would be spent managing someone else’s delayed maintenance and scrambling to clean our family’s clothes by hand.
