I really wanted to love this place. We were so excited driving up and walking in. This place could easily be 5-stars for the view alone if the owner would put some darn AC upstairs.
For what we paid per night, no AC upstairs (where both bedrooms are) is ridiculous. We were there in late Oct/ early Nov and when we arrived, outside was cooler than upstairs. A portable AC unit would have been great.
This was also one of the least clean rentals we’ve stayed in. The front load clothes washer was very moldy and stank very badly. Yuck.
Pros:
- The view - sunsets were amazing.
- The proximity to the pool and grills. The pool was great.
- We saw rays and turtles off the back porch.
- The beach amenities were great - update the listing to include these.
Cons:
- So freaking hot. You can listen to the waves crashing all night because you’re so hot that you’re awake all night, since there’s no AC upstairs. It sounds romantic to listen to the waves crash all night until you are up all night, basking in your own sweat and not sleeping while you are tormented by the sounds of crashing waves reminding you that you can’t sleep and that you are sweating. Then you need to pee.
- No ice maker or ice trays. See above. The owner does not want you to find reprieve.
- No deadbolt on the front door or secondary means to lock the door - didn’t feel very safe.
- Moldy washer.
