This studio is as pictured. The inside is newly updated and well equipped. The patio was lush and tranquil. Although you can not see the ocean, you can hear the waves. The ocean appears close, but is not easy to access.
There are a few things to be aware of:
1. As listed, there is no AC. It can get quite muggy in the summer and there is little cross breeze. It was uncomfortable to move around the unit during the day. Although the interior is new, the windows are old with cracks on the seams and the screens were torn. This allows for bugs to come in, especially in the tropical climate. We did not cook in the unit and found ants crawling on the kitchen counters on several occasions. We were provided with an extra fan on our last day, but it was covered in dust.
2. You will need to keep the windows open at night and the sprinklers start going off around 6 AM. If you are a light sleeper, this may wake you.
3. There is a microwave and hotplate, but no stove for cooking.
4. The unit is on a busy road, but is set back with a stone wall and private gate. Only one key was provided for the gate, limiting our freedom. You need to park on the opposite side of the street and cross the road to unpack and access the unit.
