Barbara was a great hostess! Even though she wan't there, she communicated instructions, tips, and recommendations effectively. We really didn't have any issue in the condominium while we were there. the unit is in front of the pool, but the patio was secluded with the bushes. We fully utilized her beach gears, especially the chairs, mats, and the beach umbrella. We ate at home most of the evenings other than the times we tried the restaurants Barb recommended. All we struggled was the kids running who rented the units above. Later on, we feel like we are at home, and would like to stay longer. Very clean and comfortable place. We had wonderful vacation thanks to Barbara!
