I spent my 40th birthday at this fabulous house with 6 of my friends and family. A absolutely great location, can walk to the beach and many eating places around. Given that we are West Indian, we cooked most of the time and enjoyed the gourmet kitchen. It was so well stocked that we only had to get food to cook. The space was well decorated and it is such a beautiful house.
A few things that probably should be mentioned. We got a noise complaint from a neighbor on the first night because we were talking loudly (we are West Indian, that’s how we talk!) and playing music on a very small bluetooth speaker. The neighbor complained (said we were screaming and playing music loudly) and the host called me to let me know there was a 10pm noise ordinance (it was 10.15pm and i must have missed the noise ordinance in the reading materials). I explained that no one was screaming and we were just talking and told the host she could come by, which she did immediately. I did not mind at all however my guests did not feel comfortable with her approach, i.e., we were never asked if the report was accurate, it was assumed it was true. From then, we were careful not to bother the neighbors but it kinda soured the mood. Additionally on the day we left and took the trash out a neighbor left a sticky note on our car saying we needed to return bins that may have been mistakenly given to us. I just forwarded the message but it was just another instance where i felt the neighbors were not friendly. On the day before we left, unexpectedly the pool guy showed up and shocked us by telling us he should have been there prior to our arrival because the pool was not clean as there was a party of 10 people before us. Please make sure to ask the host if the pool has been cleaned. Lastly, the bed in the second master bedroom needs a new mattress as it completely sank down and also there was a weird odor in the main master.
Other than the issues mentioned, I want to thank Andy for allowing us to use his home. It was so beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
