Can’t beat the location! The house was clean but definitely needs a little love. Furniture needs to be replaced or deep cleaned including the one living room rug in the property. The kitchen was stocked with everything you needed to make a meal! I will mention, there is NOTHING left behind (condiments, salt, sugar, coffee etc). If you plan on cooking, buy everything! The beds were comfortable and enough linens! I will say communication with the host, especially Stephany, was 10/10! The private beach access was well worth it, and the pool was definitely the biggest highlight for our kids! Overall a decent property.
