Paul’s place offers a huge amount of space that was more than enough for my family. I found the location ideal for exploring the island and being close to many excellent beaches.
My overall impression of the home is positive and the value for the price is great, but there were a few small things that would need to be improved to get a perfect score. First, we found cockroaches in the master bed/bath two out of the four days we were there. Living in NYC I’m no stranger to seeing a roach, but I prefer not to spend time on my vacation doing pest control. I found several cans of roach spray in the home, so I expect this may be a regular concern.
Secondly, the house information notebook that is provided needs to be updated. It contains conflicting info about parking - indicated vehicles only need to be registered with the office for stays greater than 5 days but we received a note from the property on our car indicating it was required for any overnight stay. Also the notes/suggestions provided are all handwritten and somewhat hard to read, especially with many strikethroughs since info has changed. It would be nice to clean this up and type out the handbook.
Lastly, it’s great that there are beach supplies provided, but one of the two beach umbrellas was broken and not usable so that needs to be replaced. Would have been helpful to have this additional umbrella since many if the nearby beaches lack shade and one isn’t enough for four people.
