We had a incredibly relaxing and enjoyable stay, but there were just a few things that left us wanting more for the price we paid. Even with the few disappointments though, would definitely stay again.
The pool and view was relaxing, being on the canal and using kayaks was fun, most of the home is updated and cozy, and the proximity to the beach was great! They have bikes, which made the trip to the beach easy and much more enjoyable! So ask to rent those too.
However while we were there we had a few issues, nothing that couldn’t be looked past and worked around but for a place that is more than $500 a night... it was a little disappointing. Some of the patio furniture was pretty worn/broken. Some of the lighting/electricity was sketchy a lot of switches didn’t work, some lights would flicker when others were turned on, most outside lighting around pool didn’t work, a lot of outlets were loose and covers were broken. The dishwasher didn’t work well (soap dispenser was broken so it wouldn’t clean properly) and the blender was leaky/broken... not a big deal but we specifically planned on smoothies for breakfast each morning so just a little disappointing. We also had a pretty bad ant issue, would get into any good on the counters, and there were a lot of dead bugs in the master bath.
All in all though, those minor issues didn’t hinder our enjoyment of our stay... just left us wanting a little more at times. The hosts were great communicators and quickly responded when there was any other issues. We had a leaky toilet that had to be fixed by a plumber, which was very quick and they compensated our troubles by giving us access to the bikes they have! Again, we would definitely stay again but would try to stay at a time when it’s a little cheaper.
