The location of this property is great. A short walk to great beaches, shops and restaurants. The place was easy to find late at night and check in was easy with the hosts detailed instructions.
The complex is next to a huge dirt field, and that is the view from the lanai.
The place is old, musty, and in need of maintenance. Everything felt cheap and shoddy, from the mismatched dishes and towels, to the creaky old bed, ancient pillows and budget bed linens.
The place is not clean, partly due to the grime of the ages, and partly because, when the wind blows, (which is most of the time) the dirt field mentioned above fills the place with black dirt. After one windstorm, we had to wash all the bedding, towels, and our clothes and spent a couple of hours vacuuming and wiping down all surfaces to clean up the dirt.
The pool also fills up with this dirt, and we did not use it.
There is no washer/dryer in the unit, but there is a coin laundry area.
It's very noisy, and sleeping was difficult. The louvered windows don't all close and/or are missing slats. The unit is next to the outside stairwell, and there is a bright light shining into the bedroom at night. There are some oddly cut plastic slats covering the window, but they don't keep the light out.
We feel sad to leave a bad review, but we paid far more than the listed price now, which may explain previous good reviews.
This place could be great with some investment in cleaning, maintenance, upgrades.
For now, unless you get it at a bargain rate, and don't mind the issues above, we don't recommend staying here.
