Pros: This place has a great location right next to the beach. They provided good beach toys for our kids, and the bathroom had nice amenities like sunscreen.
Cons: We had cleanliness and communication issues, including poor (no) communication prior to check in, an unexpected drop in from a repairman who said the owner requested him to investigate a rodent infestation (Marin assures is this was not an issue, but it was unnerving nonetheless), lots of open food in the pantries and cupboards, and a dirty dish upon arrival which led to ant issues.
The house is older and faces issues with gecko and pest intrusion. We watched geckos crawl through the gaps between the doors and through holes in the screens, and made a sport of catching them of chasing them out. We killed at least a cockroach a day in the house. Cockroaches are unfortunately expected for this area, however, we’ve stayed at different houses on the BI without nearly as much gecko or coackroach intrusion.
Overall, great proximity to the beach, but we suffered too many issues to recommend this place to others.
