April 2026

First off, the location was amazing and the accommodation was very nice; a good stay overall. We really enjoyed our stay here, in a quiet neighborhood walking distance to the beach. Parking was easy. We'd probably stay here again, but a few things felt a bit off: Communication felt very corporate, and they tried to get me off platform as much as possible, onto some AI system. They asked for a ton of extra information after booking that felt unnecessary and a bit invasive. The one time we planned to come back to the house to enjoy the property, there was a whole team weed wacking half the day. I get that they need to maintain the property, but we paid for an extra day we didn't use, and they could have at least let us know when that was scheduled, or scheduled it for the day they knew we wouldn't be there. The washing machine had a ton of mold in it, such that we didn't feel comfortable using it. Finally, light sleepers beware: the bed was a bit bouncy. A little uncomfortable for 2.

Property was as promised! Lovely one bedroom with a cozy kitchen, living room, and wonderful lanai. The pool was small, but perfect for us, we enjoyed a bit of time swimming in the morning and night. A great stay!
