The location and the view from the unit's balcony are a 10/10. Absolutely stunning!
The beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, cooler, etc was perfect. Functional, new, clean...it could not have been better.
There are three reasons why I am not leaving a 5-star review:
1. The listing as of September 2019 is misleading. It's described as "This condo has been recently remodeled and is stunning". "Luxury" and "luxurious" are used multiple times. The only thing that appeared recently renovated is the flooring (which was beautifully redone). The kitchen and appliances, bathroom, and bedroom + closet left no sign of a recent remodel in our eyes.
2. There was no hairdryer, and this is listed as included. As a woman who uses a hairdryer regularly, this was disappointing.
3. The owners gave my personal cell phone number to their cleaning company. This cleaning company texted me the day before our departure demanding in capital letters that I tell them if we were leaving earlier than our required 11am check-out time.
We spent too much money on this rental given the actual condition of the unit, when compared to other nearby rentals and hotel options. If the listing of this unit accurately described the condition of this unit, then I would not be a position to make this statement. Unfortunately, I agreed to a price point based on the listing description, and ultimately our expectations were not met.
If the price point was lower, then I would give this a 5-star review. For the right all-in price (unit price + taxes + service fees + cleaning fees), this is a very nice rental.
