I booked this place for an extended weekend getaway with my family. There are many great things to say about this place, so I'll start with those.
Pros: (1) GREAT location, only a quarter mile walk to the beach, restaurants, souvenir shops, and grocery stores. (2) Very spacious. Plenty of seating and room for my big family, and though I didn't bring my pups, they do allow dogs. (3) Amenities were great. We put to good use the grill, jacuzzi, kitchen, and patio. We loved hanging out on the patio at night with the stringed lights and nice ocean breeze! (4) Anytime I needed to reach out to the host, there was always a quick response, possibly 10 minute wait at most. (5) Leftover beach toys and chairs in the garage that we were able to use. (6) On site parking. You have the option to utilize the two car garage or park on the street. It did put our minds at ease knowing we had a guaranteed parking space when we'd get back after a long day because the street parking was hit or miss.
Cons: (1) While guaranteed parking spaces were great, in order to get to the house from the garage we did have to walk through someone else's patio/backyard. We felt so intrusive when there would be a group of people sitting at their patio table or worse in their jacuzzi! Very awkward. There is a gate that separates our patios for privacy, however, we often would check to see if there were parking on the street first rather than parking in the garage simply to avoid the intrusion on the other people staying in the next villa/house. (2) The place was very nice and clean upon arrival, however, we weren't provided access to any brooms, vacuums, or swiffers. They do offer a cleaning service upon request at any time during your stay (much like a hotel when you want your room vacuumed and beds made), but we had so many luggages, bags, etc for our extended stay that would be in the way. When you walk to the beach and are in and out of the house using the patio, the wood floors get pretty dusty and sandy (especially with two toddlers), so it would've been nice to have a broom handy to sweep up the sand. (3) There are 4 bedrooms, a rare find, but in order to get into one of the rooms you have to go through another room. The 4th bedroom is the one with the second bathroom attached, but in order to get to it you'd have to go through someone else's room. There is an option to enter the 4th room from the patio access door, but you'd have to go all the way around. (4) Kitchen is equipped with all the cooking and eating utensils you'd need, but if you plan on cooking, make sure to buy all the small basics like salt, pepper, sugar, etc. Not a huge con honestly, but felt wasteful buying a whole salt and pepper shaker for only a couple of meals. We left those in the kitchen, hopefully for the next visitors to put to use. Also, they only provide one garbage bag in their "welcome bag." We thought it was an interesting gift but when you stay there for 4 days and 3 nights and cook for 9, you quickly accumulate garbage. We kept carrying the entire kitchen garbage pail out to the outside garbage receptacle and reusing the one garbage bag we had.
Overall, this place was really a great find and it's hard to find a decently priced place to accommodate my family of 9. I would recommend this Airbnb to others and also choose to stay here if we visit the area again.
