BEACHFRONT ISLA Vacation Beach House

I want to start off by saying that this is a great property with amazing views. The house itself was exactly what you would expect. Unfortunately, there were other issues with the house that made our stay slightly less enjoyable. Due to a mistake in housekeeping, there was no propane in the house for a full day which meant no stove, oven, or bbq grill. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, there was an issue with the refrigerator and freezer which couldn't keep the food we now couldn't cook cold. After calling carmen, who was very receptive, we had to wait until between 12pm and 1pm the second day of our stay to have gas in the house. Again, carmen was very willing to help, but those who were supposed to do the work were very unreliable and twice missed the set time for the repairs. Going a full day without gas meant spending money on eating out for multiple meals instead, which for a group of 14, can cost in the hundreds rather than the cost of a grocery trip.

Lastly, while sleeping in the master bedroom(and apparently only the master bedroom) we were bitten throughout the night and woke up to 50+ small red bites on my back and arm. Also, there are differences between the vrbo listing of things to bring and the rental agreement so be aware to thoroughly check both.

While there were some aspects of the house and stay that were less than perfect, the location of the house and the private and almost secluded beach was great! Also, once the charcoal grill on the patio gets going, it's a great location to bbq and watch the sunset. We were even lucky enough to see a few dolphin pods swim by!

We had a large party of 15 and it seemed to work out great, Plenty of areas around the property to have some personal space and enough room to be all together at times. The neighborhood felt safe and secure. Great sushi place at the entrance of community, good atmosphere, good food and great drinks. Mango Margarita was my favorite. One of the closets did have a smell, but I'm sure Lily will have it cleaned out and fixed right away. Some cleanliness opportunities, but nothing major, Probably an opportunity with the hired help as Lily was great to deal with.

All I can say it was lovely.... lovely lovely. Fun & good times
