Jim's home couldn't be better located. It is as close to the beach as you can get (except, I suppose, the multimillion dollar ones on the beach are closer). Not having to load ourselves and our gear into the car everyday was so wonderful. He outdoor shower was nice to rinse off in after a morning in the sand. We were travelling with a small toddler. The large, relatively private, lanai and the surrounding gardens meant that our time spent at the home (while baby napped) still felt like a wonderful vacation.
Are there cockroaches? Yup. Are they big? They sure are. Were there tons of them? No. We maybe saw seven in ten days. We saw the odd one in the kitchen in the evening or first thing in the morning. At first, they were quite off putting but we quickly realized they are part of tropical living, they are harmless, and were great motivation to keep the kitchen clean.
Is the furniture/bedding a little dated? Perhaps. Does that really matter though?
The temperature didn't bother us. The fans and opened windows worked well enough for us in late November.
We did have an initial problem with the internet. The instructions to unplug and re plug were not sufficient. The management company was not available (a little frustrating) but after getting in touch with Jim he put a call into the internet provider who called me directly to walk me though fixing the problem.
Would we stay again? Most likely!
