I had a few issues during my stay. 1 1/2 inch cockroach in the 1st floor bathtub at 0500am (I sent a picture to the host and they kindly responded that the unit was sprayed 2 weeks ago and a bug must have escaped...and to let them know if there are any others. Did you know cockroaches fly?), lowering of the blinds (without a string to lower...you GENTLY pull the blinds down to lower), and how to drain the sink (figured out I just need to push the big silver button in the middle of the bathroom sink). Communication was prompt. Maintenance was helpful. During our stay, we did encounter other critters on our last day (ants on the seating by the window..the blue one shown in the picture with the beautiful view), flying bugs upstairs that I pulled out of my hair in the morning, and a few other things that bit my husband or daughter found on her bed. We also saw some cool lizards wandering inside. They just ran off and hid.
Communication with the host is very good.
The unit is nice, but a little worn. I felt like a lot of stuff was rusted / stained (bathroom) or repaired to the best of their ability (for example: the microwave handle was broken so it looks like a replacement was bought and "glued" on? It works...just looks a little ghetto). There is NO AC so beware of this. They have fans and you just have to open the windows and let the breeze in. It works well...if there is a breeze. The view is beautiful (I think that's mainly what I paid for...) and you can see the lighthouse from a distance. Everything else was great. Bed was comfy, plentiful towels, provided basic soap/shampoo/conditioner (suggest bring your own if you can), 3 pods of detergent to do laundry was very nice, and the kitchen was well stocked.
Not sure if I'd stay again. While I can tolerate not having AC, the bug issue is probably what would hold me back from returning.
