This place will have everything you need plus more. There was a bit of an issue with communication the day of check-in. I was scared I wouldn’t have a place to stay the first night, but everything worked out in the end.
All in all, the place was fine. It’s really clean, but showing signs of wear and tear. There’s a full kitchen with plates and utensils but no spices. I really appreciated the full closet in the Den which has an iron + ironing board as well as all the beach tools you could need. The washer and drier in unit is a huge plus for anyone planning to stay longer.
As advertised, the beach is just a small (minute) walk away, but you should know there is no beach view from the balcony of this apartment. You can see the water from the front door, but that’s basically it.
The location of this apartment is PERFECT. Next door to literally everything… food, groceries, popular beaches. You don’t really need to drive more than 10 minutes out unless you want to see the entire island.
My biggest issue was that there is NO Air conditioning. Ken and Sandy never said there was any, so no fault on them, but it’s really unsatisfying to come home sticky and hot and not really be able to shake off the humidity. You’ll be relying on fans to keep you cool (which there are a lot of).
Also, at the time of writing, there is no reserved parking spot for your car. You have to park on the side of the road below some trees. This was not communicated to us before the stay, which made things a little confusing.
I would say the communication issues as well as lack of AC contributed mostly to the 4 instead of 5 star, but if you are diligent about communicating with Ken and Sandy before your arrival and don’t mind no AC in a humid climate, you’ll have absolutely no issues with this place.
