Our Host did make us feel welcome, although the room was not ready when we arrived. The apartment itself was very nice and comfortable. The second story location gave a nice view of the ocean (from a distance). On the downside, the property has several living arrangements, and so there is much car traffic from other tenants, especially one with a truck that woke us up as he left each morning. The apartment is located close to a busy road, so we also heard a lot of traffic noise from that. It was not the quiet secluded place we were hoping for. The description of the surroundings is a bit overstated. The pond was not in working condition and the tiki bar is rundown and looks seldom used.
