The home is a beautiful home, it directly in front of the lagoon which I thought it was but still with direct lagoon accesses. However the house itself was very stiff. Almost all the furniture is hard and just there for looks. The exterior of the home was also not cleaned with trash on balconies. The home itself is poorly built with build up in shower heads and faucets loose in the wall to the point we were scared to use them. We did reach out to the host and they offered to fix it but not really interested in a crew coming in mid stay. I would not stay here again.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home’s location and lagoon access, but we’re disappointed to hear the rest of your experience didn’t meet expectations.
We understand your comments regarding the furnishings. The home was intentionally designed with a more modern aesthetic, but we recognize that comfort is just as important as design, and we’ll be reviewing this with our team to ensure the balance is right for our guests.
Cleanliness and maintenance are also important to us, and the items you noted are not the standard we aim to provide. Our team did offer to address these during your stay, though we understand not wanting service visits mid-stay. We’ve shared your feedback with our operations and maintenance teams for follow-up.
