Positives: House was in a nice location to a small private beach area that was great for small kids. House has everything for the beach including a small wagon, beach towels, chairs, and umbrella. There was plenty of space and washer and dryer was nice to be able to use too. The owners live in the adjacent property and came over to say hi. Mike brought over a coconut and shared knowledge about the island.
Unexpected: There were more bugs, beetles, and cockroaches in the house than expected. Past reviews said bugs were in the kitchen because they don’t use many chemicals so we kept all food in the refrigerator or in an airtight container and made sure not to have any food in the rooms. We saw cockroaches coming up the bathroom drains, inside the dishwasher, crawling on the floors, and beetles in the beds. I get that it’s an island and costal but it was hard to relax at night knowing there were bugs everywhere. I shared this with the owners and hopefully they can find a way to use some pest control.
Otherwise it’s a nice beach cottage in a really laidback town that is close to nice beaches.
