I loved the view and the pool area and the free chairs on the beach! The only issues was the hot water running out very quickly and the a/c not working the full time other than that I was super happy!

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Apr 2026
Thank you for your stay and for the kind comments about the view, pool, and complimentary beach chairs—we’re so glad you enjoyed those! We’re sorry to hear about the hot water and A/C concerns, as we didn’t receive any notice during your stay and would have gladly addressed them right away. We’ve since checked both to ensure everything is working properly for future guests. We appreciate the feedback and hope to host you again!
