The house is in a wonderful location. How can you beat sitting in the backyard watching the waves and the surfers? How can you beat only having to walk along the beach for 5-10 minutes to a spot where you can easily get into the water and swim? For the most part the place is outstanding. Why then, only 3 stars? We picked this venue over others because it advertised air conditioning. Well, it has a wall mounted unit, but it is clearly either WAY under-powered or broken. The temperature during the day varied between 82-88 degrees and most of the time the air felt like it was just room air being recycled. The unit was always making noises, so it was probably broken. We immediately contacted the property manager (not the owner) who told us there was nothing that could be done since it was the labor day weekend. She said she would try to contact the host, Melissa. We wrote several messages to Melissa, who ignored every one. When we got home, we wrote her several more times asking her to fairly compensate us for our inconvenience. No response. We gave her several opportunities to respond before writing this review, but she did not. Perhaps something was going on in her life that got in the way, but she has had a lot of time to reply to my messages.
Again, a WONDERFUL venue with all the amenities. But the air conditioner is broken and the host was unresponsive to our communications.
