My husband, niece and I stayed here for 11 nights. It was our little quarantine house.
The location is beautiful, you're on the beach, the house is exactly as pictured, would I stay again, NO.
For those who are being extra cautious because of covid like ourselves some notes to take into consideration. There are 4 units on the property, 1 is the owners. There is a touchpad lock to the enter the building that all guests use/touch, there is a pretty high turnover of the property, 7 different groups moved in and out during our stay, the cleaners don't always wear a mask. We cleaned the apartment from top to bottom and steamed all furniture before we brought in our things and glad we did.
Read the rules thoroughly, guest are not permitted unless you pay a $75 daily visit fee. I asked if my mom and stepdad can come visit for lunch and I was quickly granted approval upon a $75 payment for each guests. $150 for both to visit for lunch. Will one of the 3 hosts we dealt with, told us the reason for the fee is to keep the tranquility of the property, he recommended that I take my mom to a public venue if I didn't want to pay the $150 fee.
The house has a bathroom in each bedroom which is great, note that the 3rd bedroom is the beautiful loft pictured, you won't have any privacy, those in the living room will hear you and you will hear them, so keep that in mind when booking. The other 2 bedrooms are located in the back of the unit with no views.
The kitchen has basic Ikea amenities, fine if you're staying for the weekend for those staying longer term we brought our own spices, pots/pans, oils, foil, storage containers.
There is a vacant lot right beside the building which has pros and cons. Pros are you have a place to lay out your towel beside the unit when the tide is high and the water is coming right up to the building. Con, during busy weekends the public finds this as a great spot to also set up their towels and chairs so it can get quite busy.
It would have been nice if the host would have anticipated our needs before arrival, extra towels, extra toilet paper, a full size broom for cleaning (we ended up bringing our own vacuum). We declined the 2 housekeeping visits during our stay given the precautionary measures we are taking. Even after declining our 2 housecleaning visits and paying an extra $200 for pet cleaning, a total of $400 for cleaning, David the host still tried to charge me an additional $100 for cleaning.
I ultimately feel like the 3 hosts that we dealt with during our visit were not aligned and caused a lot of miscommunication and unnecessary back and forth. The extra charges left a really bad impression especially given we were 3 guests staying for 11 nights who payed $931 a night. The hospitality was not what you would expect for a premium priced unit.
