Upsides: 5 stars for the accommodations and Superhost Cynthia. Cynthia and her husband did such an incredible job on the remodel and equipped the kitchen and place with everything a guest could possibly need. Cynthia sent us a bunch of great recommendations and was always quick to respond. The VIEW was SPECTACULAR and we slept with the screen door open every night and fell asleep to the mesmerizing sounds of the ocean. We saw so many glorious sunsets, rainbows and occasional whales. It was truly a lovely place! The place was well kept and clean, beds were comfy, and a breeze constantly flowed through the place so we never had to turn on the A/C.
Downsides: These are completely out of the host’s control, but are important to note. Unfortunately the complex seemed to attract a party vibe at least while we were there for a few weeks. When it happened during quiet hours and we could identify where it was coming from, we'd contact security and they were usually pretty quick to respond when guests were too rowdy and/or playing music too loudly. Unfortunately we could hear our neighbors especially from above if they were outside on the lanai (sometimes as early as 5am) and if someone was smoking, the cigarette smoke would come through the windows or sliding door, which happened often. Also it’s an old building so it’s likely there could be construction, which Cynthia discloses in the rental agreement. So we just made sure to leave before or during the hammering or jackhammering, which happened one day.
