Carolyn, thank you so much for having us in your home.
Besides the ants everything was amazing! The ants were only an issue when we were cooking or eating. Simply preparing breakfast could be an issue unfortunately. Carolyn does fumigate the home every few months, so perhaps we were just there at an unlucky time. However, the shuttered windows with no screens might have made it easier for the ants to get into the house. She does have a bug spray to spray around areas of entry but knowing the house is fumigated would have better prepared us on food prep and storage so things weren’t wasted. Its a tropical area so it’s common sense to know there are going to be bugs, but my parents stayed two minutes down the road and had no issues. Perhaps something more can be done to help with this problem.
Apartment was clean! If you forget soap, shampoo, or conditioner, don’t even worry as they supply you with little travel sized ones to use. The Hawaiian tropic silk conditioner was the best conditioner I’ve ever used and I was so sad I couldn’t find it anywhere after we checked out. If you stay here, ditch yours for hers. Especially if you have long curly hair... it’s amazing!
Location was great! Walkable distance to the shops, breakfast, and the beach. Less than two minutes from literally everything. If you stay here you’ve got to walk up the street going north and try a restaurant called Threes. So good and so convenient it is so close by!
The home was cute and a comfortable temperature even without a working ceiling fan at the time. There was an ac in the living room as well as the bedroom we stayed in (the smaller room), with no time restrictions on what time they could be run. Unfortunate for my parents, who stayed at someone else’s Airbnb, their host made it so the ac couldn’t be ran after 8pm because of quiet time. Being able to run the ac on in the morning or night made our stay more comfortable, that’s for sure. Super important since it’s hot and humid outside, and those shuttered windows let that outside air in. In addition, Carolyn’s Airbnb pretty much had everything we needed readily available.
The pool was nice to relax in and the neighbours were friendly.
Carolyn even went the extra mile to tell us what days/times we would have an extra parking spot to use, which was super appreciated :)
Again, thanks for having us in your home Carolyn. I would highly recommend! Cheers :)
