This place was fine. The positives: the view is amazing. Quiet area, well maintained grounds and pool and the little beach is neat and we saw a giant turtle. It’s not an actual beach though. It’s a rocky shoreline with sand. Not really a place to hang out and relax. Unless that’s your thing. But that was consistent with the pictures they show of the beach.
This place was in the middle of everything sort of. Like, it was central in the island but there was nothing really close to us. Except the marina, aquarium, or a gas station. The Airbnb condo itself was well stocked with lots of things.
The negative: wasn’t ready at check in. Had to wait about an hour or so to get settled in. After 12 hours of travel that is a no go. After many apologies (the staff were very kind) that’s all I got. I asked for a credit to my account and they kindly skirted around the subject. Lol so beware that you might have to loiter after traveling all day. Also, it says air conditioned. It’s not. Only the living room has a small window unit that is extremely loud so you can’t really talk to the people with you and it only cools off the people next to it. The room downstairs has no AC and got really hot (we went in mid September) and the rooms upstairs had no AC either and also got really hot. And it’s not really two rooms at all. It’s one room downstairs with a closet and a door, and then upstairs there’s a bedroom in the loft area and then another room with a futon plus a washer and drier. That one had bifold doors you could shut but it would make it unbearably hot. Pretty sure that room had no ceiling fan. The cabinets in the kitchen had so many cups hahahahah like, 6 cups for every occasion. Drinking, tumbler, wine, anything you can think of. A bit overstocked and no space to put our own stuff that we bought. I think the lack of AC was really the worst part and I will be sending an email to Airbnb corporate to let them know they need to have a way for the host to specify what type of AC unit they have and where they are.
I’m not sure if I would stay here again. Having a toddler and the steep stairs inside made it tough. If we didn’t have a toddler then we might stay here again but we like to try different places. Beautiful place and kitchen and bathrooms were ok (the bottom bathroom leaked from the ceiling back into the shower while taking a shower lol yikes). The view was definitely worth it but for the price I expected a nicer inside. But maybe that’s just the price of paradise
