Sorry, but the whole place could do with a deep-clean and some areas in the kitchen a re-paint. The stove top was not properly cleaned and the inside of the oven had remnants of a previous guest's culinary something. The furniture is old and a bit shabby, and the sofa-bed has a somewhat lumpy mattress. The mattress is in the main bedroom was very good. The fridge makes noises at night that remind one of a tractor. The spare pillows, I am sorry to say, had an unpleasant odour that made me wish I had brought my own along. While the place is bright and charming at first sight, these other details do impact the stay.
On the plus, the bedding itself was lovely and clean, the towels fluffy etc. The location is good in terms of access to shops and beaches and so on. The sunsets are spectacular, of course, and there is a good view. As others have noted, the noise from the road really is only a background hum and, during the day, when the water trickles down the slide in the pool, one would have to work hard to hear anything else. The pool is a big plus and the main reason we booked the place and this did not disappoint.
The family seemed nice and the two youngsters that showed us around were very sweet indeed. I might have had more questions if the adults had done the welcome / check-in part and sending umpteen WhatsApp messages to people less than 30 feet away in their own house, seemed OTT. The few questions I did message about during the stay were quickly and politely answered.
Some might prefer either more privacy in terms of hosts not having a direct eye-line to guests, or more friendly and spontaneous interaction to make it seem slightly less weird to be on someone else's property where they can see you but you can't see them.
