Host - 1 star. It started ok, he was initially responsive to questions. He then dropped off though. The worst part was he seemingly completely forgot we were checking in. I asked the day before if we could get a few hours early check-in (offering to pay) and heard nothing. We got to the rental half an hour early and still had no check in info. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and waited until check-in time to call. No instructions, no answer. I had to call customer service. What eventually got us the check in message was other guests calling his personal number for us! I would have been forgiving if he acknowledged the error, but nothing.
Location - 4 stars. Just as described. I loved that this unit has a private side outdoor area as well as the shared pool. Quiet neighborhood. Good restaurant choices very close. The cleaners were fabulous. 1 star knocked down because it's not as close to beach access as I had thought. It's a mile walk, despite G... Maps showing access at 0.2.
