This is a beautiful condo. It was fun to go to sleep listening to the sound of the ocean outside. You are in the middle of the island soyou can explore either side without too much of a drive. There is a nice surf break right outside, and a fun sandy beach for the kids to romp on.
It was a perfect stay with one BIG sour note at the end.
I got a call and a strongly worded email saying that we left the condo in poor condition and needed to pay an addition $150. This increased the cost for us by 15%. I was asked to pay it though paypal which I did, but it left a sour taste in my mouth.
The stated reasons were:
1. $50 extra cleaning for sand in the fridge (We cleaned most of the morning we left and thought the condo was in near pristine condition. I had already been charged $160 for cleaning.
2. A broken boogie board. Yeah, that one was our fault. I should have gone to Safeway and picked one up for $12!
3. A missing cockroach repellent plug in, $30.
4. I'm not sure why the extra $58. 'Administrative fees' I guess?
The place was really nice and I would have paid the extra $150 up-front, but to have this happen afterward felt like a shake-down. It was a disappointing end to a perfect week.
I'd recommend just planning on paying a little extra if you stay at this condo.
