Be forewarned. This unit is directly in front of major construction. It is not on the other side as it says. There is constant banging, screeching, and tearing metal noises. Constantly. The workers start at 7am. Not 8am and they go to 5:30-6 and that’s Monday to Sunday. They take no days off. It’s constant.
I was not warned about this before I booked my unit and the construction was already going on. They had months to warn me as I booked in October and came in December. Now I do not like leaving bad reviews, I actually never leave them, but I feel I have to do this to warn others because that noise is not my idea of a vacation. It’s not my idea of a $170 a night “luxury” rental and honestly they should stop renting it until the work is over or warn people and rent at a discounted rate.
I complained and initially I was told by the real estate manager to have a mai tai drink, relax, and get over it. So heads up to the owners that’s who is handling your unit and how she solves things. Eventually a lovely man Mark came over in person and was kind and lovely and even offered us his own home. We made nice and I was granted a percentage back. I accepted. Because that was all fine and great at the time but then the work got louder and started to start earlier in the day. Nothing like being woke up at 7am with tearing metal noises on vacation that you paid a lot of money for am I right?
We stayed the entire stay here because it was the holidays and we couldn’t get anything comparable with a pool, grill, oceanfront etc. we were stuck. We stayed because the beach is mere steps away and the beach is amazing. But even at the beach you hear the construction. To not note this to future guests is doing them a disservice. And it’s dishonest.
We got to snorkel with sea turtles everyday and that’s why in our memories this vacation will be nice. Because it was finally quiet when you put your head underwater.
The cleaning fee is exorbitant. I did ask for a discount. They granted one. But that doesn’t mean you don’t clean at all? they barely cleaned. I had to clean the house to make it live-able for us. The floors were covered in dirt. The toilet seat is broken. They didn’t take the trash out. They had no soap. There is an old stained pvc pipe holding up the curtains. The list goes on and on. The WiFi barely works the mini tv shuts off after 10 minutes. Screen goes black. To charge these prices the place needs a good once over by someone who cares about the little touches. And if we were forewarned about the construction we would have been better about it but the shock to walk into it, coupled with a dirty outdated place really forced my hand to leave this review to warn others. The location and beach is great. This realty company and unit are not.
