My husband and I booked to celebrate our anniversary. I booked 2-3 weeks in advance and messaged Lea just as her directions say to do. We didn’t hear back from her until we were on the plane, the day of check in. Which made me nervous but I understand things come up, which she explained to us what happened and apologized.
Upon arriving, she met us at the condo and showed us around. Lea is very friendly and had a hand drawn map of all the good places to go as well as shops we would most likely need to visit. She has the condo stocked with dishes, pots, pans and utensils, lots of bath towels, washcloths, and a couple beach towels. She even has beach chairs and a cooler you can use.
The condo smelled a little damp, probably due to being older and only having a window ac unit that needs to constantly run. But everything was very clean.
We had an issue with our tv which Lea quickly came and resolved while we were out.
There was also an issue with the shower floor, (which she may have fixed by the time I’m writing this.) The small tiles were sunken into the floor in a couple spots near the drain and you feel like you’re sliding down to the drain while you’re in there. There were also a couple loose tiles. I let her know what I found as I would want to fix that if I were an owner. I told her I understand nothing can be done while we’re here, but in the future. However, She came over the next day with a new shower mat as well as caulked the couple of loose tiles. This was day 3. And we had 2 more nights to spend there. So of course we would use the shower. We didn’t use it until the next day, but the caulk still wasn’t dry and just smeared everywhere even with the mat and was a mess. Whew.
She apologized up and down and I understand she didn’t know the condition the tiles were in, but it was still an unexpected wrench in what should’ve been a carefree vacation.
She gave us an anniversary card and a bottle of wine which was a nice surprise.
Another issue which wasn’t her fault, was the condo pool. The first day the water wasn’t filled all the way and was tinted green. The pool guy was there the next day though and fixed that. But the water was of course freezing.
Lea is a sweet host and you can’t beat the location if you want to be on the beach. Just know that this is an older building and needs upgrades.
