Gene was a good host, and the balcony space was beautiful. The home is as described, but (for women in particular) keep in mind this is very clearly a man’s home. It was not the cleanest, as I was warming up my dinner in the microwave and grabbing a fork, a cockroach crawled out from behind the paper towel rack. The location is good if you are trying to get to the main beaches, about a 15 min drive away, however the private beach is not a beach. There was trash everywhere, I couldn’t even sit and enjoy anything so I had to go to a different beach. All and all, it was fine stay.
