I had mixed feelings about this place. The house definitely has its own character. The layout and amenities were awesome for the most part and the outdoor space was so inviting. The location was also central to the activities were were planning for the trip. There were a couple things that made the experience less than desirable. The outdoor patio would have been a great place to spend a good amount of our time, but the mosquitoes were out 24/7. Bug spray/citronella didn't help, those guys were vicious! So despite the patio being one of the main reasons we booked the house, we couldn't really use it :( Also, everything in the kitchen has a thin coating of dirt/grime. All the pots/pans/utensils/shelves etc were dirty. Another downside to our stay was there was a leak prior to our arrival that caused us limited use of the second bathroom and one of the bedrooms. Martin was kind enough to warn us prior to our arrival, but it wasn't a desirable situation. The last thing, which isn't much of a criticism, but just unexpected was the windows in the master bedroom don't have shades, so be prepared to get up with the sun (and the neighbors roosters and dogs). Value-wise, not great compared to other rentals we've had in the area, especially since two rooms were out of order, but that's obliviously subjective. Other than that, this place is pretty much as described...country living, in a central location, with a great view.
