Stunning views…but not much peace or privacy.
Pros:
-Right on the water, absolutely INCREDIBLE views from the deck, and you can snorkel right in your own ‘backyard’.
-The views continue even indoors—take in the gorgeous surf from the living room couch or watch sunsets as you dine.
-did I mention THE VIEW???
Cons:
-There is a public open area/encampment of homeless folks directly next door whose presence couldn’t be ignored. They were friendly, but also blasted music at night, used power tools and cranked a generator at various hours—it was a LOT.
-There’s a feeling of exposure/lack of safety and very little privacy for this same reason.
-As others have mentioned, the place is falling apart and in serious need of an update, but I doubt they’ll improve it because of the location luring people in (and again, it is truly one of the best locations of any property I’ve ever stayed in.)
- The corporate rental company is just that—prepare to deal with long wait times on the phone, miscommunication and generally poor customer service (for example, a couple of repair people showed up unannounced pounding on the door during my stay and then refused to leave the property when asked for privacy—it was a mess and the company basically ignored the situation.)
All in all, if you’re willing to sacrifice peace, privacy, and basic air bnb customer service standards to have the AMAZING views and location, go for it. But at least go in prepared!
