This was a tough stay. We almost left halfway through. As other reviews have mentioned the mosquitos are out of control. The first night, several of us got 8-10 bites each. The reason is likely because the property next door has an empty pool with a few inches of standing water (a mosquito breeding heaven). Fernando suggested closing the doors prior to 8pm so the mosquitos wouldn't get in, but because there is no AC and no fans in the house, it gets hot and stuffy with the windows closed. Even when we kept the doors closed all day, there were still TONS of mosquitoes and bites. We then went to the grocery store and bought mosquito repellent plug ins, which go into the outlet and somewhat helped the situation. Fernando should outfit the entire house with these. We also slept with bug spray on (with deet).
Another problem was that the travel crib provided had bed bugs, so our baby woke up with dozens of bed bug bites. Fernando arranged for another crib, but with not even an apology that our baby suffered through the rest of the trip with a rash and bites all over her.
There were various other cleanliness issues. 3 of the bathrooms are great, but the last one smelled like sewage the entire time. None of the cups in the cupboards were clean so we had to run the dishwasher before we could drink anything. There also weren’t any extra sheets, trash bags, basic stuff. We found a rotting avocado under one of the beds. The towels were all stained.
We were a family with 2 babies and my parents in their 60s, so we were very quiet and respectful of the house. My sense is that it is frequently used for bachelor/stag parties, where that is not the case. When we arrived Fernando said the prior group had damaged stuff that he wasn’t able to fix prior to our arrival.
If you can look past the bugs and cleanliness issues, the property is in an absolutely fabulous location, with stunning views of the ocean and near lots of restaurants and waterfront cafes. The beach is nice and the area is mostly locals, so it doesn't feel touristy at all.
