I stayed at this location with 7 others. The real reason to stay here is the location. It’s a 3 minute walk to the beach and, if you have a car, you are pretty close to shops, hiking trails, etc. The house has a great view. However, if you are looking for a luxury vacation home, I do not recommend staying here. There were several maintenance/mechanical issues throughout the house that would be an easy fix with simple attention to detail. Paying this much money for a house that had this many issues was very frustrating and ultimately made our stay very unsatisfactory, we will not be returning.
Firstly, the hot tub never reached a high temperature. The first day, the hot tub was the same temperature as the pool (80 degrees) and we could only get it to increase in temperature by maybe one or two degrees. We contacted Alex and it took him almost the entire day to get a hold of someone to fix it. That evening someone came and added a temperature regulator which didn’t do much to change the water temperature. The third day somebody came to put chlorine in the water and we asked him to look at the hot tub. He was able to get it pretty warm but still didn’t reach a typical hot tub temperature and it never went up from there. Any time we wanted to use the hot tub it was either lukewarm or bath temperature.
Additionally, the overhead lights in one of the bedrooms did not work. The fridge and freezer leak out of the bottom and the freezer at maximum cold temperature couldn’t freeze or keep something solidly frozen. I understand Alex puts an explanation to the fridge/freezer situation but for the price of this house I’d expect for these things to be working normally. There was no filtered water in the house so if you want to drink water at all during your stay, you have to buy some at the store. The first day, the grill igniter didn’t work and someone had to come fix it. Two of the burners on the stove top didn’t work as well as the overhead fan and light on the stove. Two of the upstairs bedrooms are listed as queen beds but were definitely small enough to be double beds. Bring your own conditioner and hair dryer. There’s a giant hole in the front gate that we were able to climb through it to get in. Lastly, there is only one TV in the entire house and it is pretty small despite how it looks in the picture.
Overall we had a fine time despite the many problems in the house. Again, it’s a great location but the house maintenance was incredibly underwhelming. For this amount of money, the house is not worth it; I would suggest spending it on another place.
