Booked this rental for a group of friends to meet up and enjoy the ocean. Overall, it was a lovely stay. The house was spacious, cute, and clean. Having the pool and private beach right there was really wonderful. We especially appreciated the individual room AC units. Kitchen was decently stocked, but had room for improvement in the spices (no pepper) and the stoves only partially working.
However, there were also some concerns that, while they didn't ruin the trip, did cause a significant enough disruptions to result in plan changes.
We were warned of the power outages, which luckily were minor during our stay. But, there's also nothing to serve as a backup such as a generator, or better yet, solar-panels. More concerningly though, there was an issue of the water going out intermittently for 2.5 of our 4 full days. The property manager was very responsive and the plumber came out within a couple hours each time. But it still was not fully resolved for a good portion of our stay.
The other big issue is that the front door was very challenging to unlock. It would take us several minutes each time to find the right places to push and lift the door to get it. The first time we tried to unlock it from the inside it took us upwards of 20 minutes to figure it out. For us, it was just a big hassle but it could be a safety risk if someone needed to get out quickly but couldn't get the door open.
All that being said, it was a lovely house that, for the most part, served our needs.
