Spacious Off-grid Beachfront Villa - Park Bay House

Thank you for your review, Scott. The house was designed to make most of the prevailing winds which preclude the need for air conditioning and mosquito nets. I do apologise if my house manager failed to advise you to keep the windows open at night.

Many thanks for your kind words. It was a pleasure hosting you.

Many thanks for your lovely review, Vanessa. Dimmy thoroughly enjoyed looking after you and your family!

Thanks Kim, I'm glad that you had a great stay at our peaceful bit of paradise (and that we switched that tripped breaker back on for you promptly)!

Thanks for your great feedback, we're glad you had such an enjoyable stay! We will make sure the gas grill is thoroughly checked out, and we've added more detail to the description of the bay and beach based on your input. Thanks again and hope to see you back soon!

David, I'm very sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay, but I have to point out that most of what you say just isn't true, and the rest is greatly exaggerated. For example, there was only one broken toilet, the one whose handle broke while you were there, and which you wouldn't let our caretaker fix (it took him five minutes to do so after you left). There was absolutely no mold in the house--we checked thoroughly, and what you thought was mold were a few spots of mildew on a wall, which we have since repainted. Our cooker is about ten years old and works very well. However we understand that some people aren't familiar with how to light a gas oven, so we now make sure to show guests how to do so. There is nothing wrong with the bedroom lighting, but it is true that our seaside location is tough on metal. We replace fixtures regularly, but it's hard to keep completely ahead of the rust. We are very sorry that you had such a strong aversion to it. This just goes to show that any property isn't going to be a perfect fit for every traveler. We encourage everyone to read our descriptions carefully, look at the photos, and read the other reviews, which paint a very accurate picture of the property. You'll note that the vast majority of our reviews give us five stars, which reflects the fact that we have had hundreds of delighted guests over the past fifteen years--including ones that immediately preceded and followed you. We are truly sorry that you weren't one of them, but we continue to be committed to doing the best by our property and our guests.

Thank you for your feedback Iva-Lisa. I'm sorry you had problems with the internet. Like a lot of connections it is rate-limited, and I can see from the usage report that after several hours of very large downloads in the mornings (probably the kids streaming video) it triggered the rate limits, which really slow it down. I'm sorry you weren't aware of this, I've updated our info so future guests know that it's great for email, browsing, etc. but not for large downloads or prolonged streaming. You're right that the solar power works very well but that large loads like irons and hair dryers need to be used with care at night. We always have a propane barbecue grill available. We are currently in the process of replacing the patio furniture.
