The Beach-House is on a prime beachfront location, nothing short of world class. From turquoise to pink, the ever-changing colors of the sea and sky form the perfect backdrop for a truly relaxing vacation. The beach and ocean are literally on your doorstep, just open the terrace door and you’re there - go for a swim or a stroll along the private shoreline smiling to yourself how well you chose!
The Beach-House has three floors. The décor is simple and clean. The property has an elegant uncluttered aesthetic. It is fully equipped with everything you may need from high-speed Internet/wifi to beach towels.
The ground floor has a beautiful furnished deck and patio directly on the beach with palm trees providing shade. The adjacent living-room and gourmet kitchen with breakfast bar have an open plan layout filled with natural light.
The bedrooms are all very comfortable. On the first floor, the Master Bedroom is spacious and bright with an ensuite marble bathroom and ample closets. It has it’s own terrace for catching sensational sea views with a little breeze thrown in. Also on the first floor, there is another roomy bedroom with two single beds and ensuite marble bathroom and closet space.
The entire top floor is open plan, featuring one extra-large bedroom with two sections. Facing the sea, a king-size bed is next to a small balcony with gorgeous sea views. At the other end of this floor there are two single beds and a walk-in closet. These two sections are divided by a marble ensuite bathroom with a passage adjoining the two.
On the ground floor, there are comfy sofas, cable tv and yet more fantastic views across the deck. The dining area seats eight. The well-equipped gourmet kitchen has a large refrigerator with icemaker, toaster, drip coffee-maker, dishwasher, microwave, and washer/dryer. Of course, the entire Beach-House is fully equipped with air-conditioning and wood floors throughout.
The Beach-House has access to a swimming pool, just on the right next to the building and within earshot and eyeshot of the beach. Spend your days relaxing on a manicured kid-friendly white sand beach on a luxurious chaise with iced drinks - while hardly lifting a finger!
On the left hand side of the beach, in a smaller area there is a Beach Club which is a private independent company, the Beach Club is NOT included into this rental.
Information about the Palm Cay Beach Club:
During your stay at the Starfish Isles Beach Units, you'll have exclusive access to the Starfish Beach and Beach Pool, specifically reserved for guests of these units. Additionally, our beach house provides you with your own beach sunbeds.
All other amenities, whether complimentary or paid, are available at Palm Cay. The "Beach Club" is a separate entity operated by a different company. It includes a pool and cabanas in a small area of the resort, primarily intended for guests of units without direct beach access, which is not your situation.
Additional services like the beach restaurant, marina café, and SPA are accessible by paying for the respective services.
In summary, the Beach Club is not included in your package and is not accessible to you. Moreover, given your direct access to the beach and beach pool, paying an additional fee, estimated around $150 USD per person per day, wouldn't be practical.

We had an amazing stay at Palm Cay. After going to other locations while in the Bahamas, we realized that this area is truly like having a private beach! If you are looking for an area for a family vacation, I would highly recommend this area! The unit was clean, beds were very comfortable, and the walk out patio on the beach was amazing!! I cannot say enough about that view! We also chartered a private boat at the marina and went to Rose Island. That is a definite must!! The beach there by the restaurant and bar is like a postcard. A terrific trip overall!!

Christmas Family Reunion
Christmas Vacation 7 days. We had stayed at Palm Cay in 2018. The resort is very lovely, and the villa accommodated nine people. The location is on the southeast side of the island with less traffic. To be able to walk right out from the family room door to the beach and ocean was perfect. The communication with the owner of this unit/villa was a little troubling because we felt he had perhaps had a bad experience with previous guests. He kept emphasizing his house rules after we assured him we would take good care of the property as we too had been property owners in Palm Desert, CA. and understood his concerns.The unit/villa was clean but sparsely supplied with some expected items such as dishwasher soap etc. Lounge chairs on the deck were plentiful but uncomfortable. However, the location was beautiful, and we had a wonderful family reunion with our children and grandchildren.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of the location and had a wonderful family reunion with your children and grandchildren. The beachfront setting truly is special, and I’m pleased it contributed to your holiday experience.
Regarding your mention of communication, I want to assure you that our intention is always to provide clarity and ensure a seamless stay for our guests. The house rules are outlined on the site to help set expectations and protect the enjoyment of everyone visiting the property. I’m sorry if this felt overemphasized during our correspondence, as it’s certainly not my intent to cause any concern.
All supplies provided are generously stocked to align with the number of guests and the duration of the stay. Should additional items ever be needed, I encourage guests to reach out, as we are always happy to assist.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I hope we can welcome you back in the future.

Beautiful property, messy check in.
We arrived on time but it was very unclear how to check in, where to get keys, and even where the unit was located. The third floor was locked and we had a hard time finding someone to unlock it. They asked us to remove trash but provided no trash bags. The kitchen was not well equipped to handle cooking for 8. All in all, a beautiful property that is not very well managed.

Thank you for your feedback. While we’re glad you enjoyed the beauty of the property, we’re sorry to hear about your concerns regarding check-in. However, we would like to clarify that the information provided in this review is not accurate.
You arrived hours before the scheduled check-in time, while our cleaning team was still preparing the unit after a same-day checkout. Despite our efforts to explain the situation, you became confrontational with our staff. The third-floor access was temporarily restricted for safety and cleaning purposes, not due to poor management.
We always provide clear instructions before arrival, and our team is readily available to assist. We also provide trash bags and kitchen essentials suitable for the unit’s size, though we understand every guest has different expectations.
We truly value respectful communication and hope that future travels bring you more positive experiences.

Serenity at the Beach
We had a wonderful week at Palm Cay. The beach house was everything and more!! Located directly on the beach it was so serene. The property itself was beautiful and pristine, a lot of steps but you quickly get used to it. The pool was right next door, we visited the Pink Octopus restaurant which was truly outstanding, The supermarket was literally about 5 minutes away. The liquor store that we chose to use was called The Wok and that was on John F. Kennedy Blvd which was about 8 minutes away, great prices but if you don't have a vehicle then your best bet would be to order from the Flying Dutchman as they deliver. What you see is what you get the pictures are spot on and of course even better in person. Andrea the manager was so nice she came and explained everything to us and left no stone unturned. We absolutely love, love, loved this property. We will definitely be back!!! Thank you Joseph for Hosting us at your beautiful home.

Great family get away - kids loved the beach
Palm cay was a perfect place for a relaxing getaway. I admit I was hesitant on renting a home in another country but it was just as described. During our stay I think we only saw 4 other people on the beach, felt like we had it to ourselves. The house was great there are minimal cooking utensils but I couldn't complain we made it work. We used Colette for all of our transportation- she was great!! I don't think I would have been able to navigate on our own. We communicated with Colette in advance so we would have a general idea of how much we would need to pay her. The house had way more than I expected, i was told we needed to pack beach towels and the basics like toilet paper, garbage bags, but most of it was already there. I assume it just depends on what the previous renter left in the house. We had 4 kids and 4 adults and there was plenty of room for all of us. Kids found star fish and Conch shells when snorkeling in front of the house. We would love to travel back someday.

Disappointing for the price
Overall things could have been a lot better at the property. Check in process was not clear or smooth — the neighbor had to let us in while we tried to find where the key was, and every contact number listed for the property no longer worked there. House was not stocked with toilet paper, towels or any basics, which we had to request. It rained while we were there and the second story master bedroom leaks really bad, the drain on the third floor balcony was clogged so it nearly flooded the interior. Overall, very disappointed in the value for money!

Veri Nice but needs a few things
We had 7 people staying in Joseph's place for 5 nights in March. Overall, the condo was exactly as described- new, clean and comfortably sleeps 8 people.
The view was terrific and the beach is very clean and beautiful. A great marina next door provided lots of pretty boats to look at.
A couple of things which can be improved and could be an issue later:
- If you are going to rent a condo which sleeps 8, you need interior seating for 8, not 6 as it currently provides. There is one chair, one love seat and one couch so 2 people are left in kitchen chairs or standing. The same is the case as the dinner table.
- There need to be at least 4 lounge chairs. Currently there are 4 mismatched plastic chairs and no lounge chairs. The communal seating area is close but has maybe 10 chairs so they go fast. The pool has only 5 chairs total.
- The cooking utensils are limited at best. We had to strain pasta in the steamer and cooking and preparation utensils are almost non-existent
- We were fortunate enough to stay there when maybe 20 of the several hundred condos/houses are occupied. The tiny restaurant and minimal seating will be hard pressed to accommodate even a fraction of what the entire complex could hold
We had a few appliance issues which Joseph did not respond to but our cleaning lady was terrific in getting resolved.
If thee issues above are addressed, we would recommend staying here within the next year but would be concerned once the complex fills up.

Dear Guest,
Thanks for your review. However, I have to say that your comments may definitely mislead future guests.
The private beach is only reserved to the Beach Houses and its guests, so it will never be crowded. The restaurant is not tiny, it has 3 floors and can accommodate 500 people at once, it is large and beautiful. During your stay it was open one floor, based on booking.
Your comment on the other condos is misleading: the other condos are for people living and working on the island, and while they can use the beach club and bars and restaurants, the have to buy the very expensive yearly subscription, very few of them do. So the beach and the beach club will never and it is never crowded. It seems absolutely like your private beach.
Regarding the beach house and cooking supplies: first of all, the seating is for 8 people, I don't understand how did you count 6?
The mismatched colors of the beach chairs are a choice, maybe you might not like, but it is personal.......
Long Chairs are freely available, and I never heard of any problem so far, actually there a few 100's and if fully taken it is just enough to ask some more at the beach club which stores them.
You decided to stay in our beach house also because of the very low price, other beach houses at Palm Cay are available and they rent by 700 to 1000 USD per day.
To offer a competitive price we minimized the supplies and we keep the beach house clean and crisp. It is a compromise to stay and enjoy a luxury place and a reasonable price. I would appreciate to receive credit for that and not critics. It is very well described in the VRBO web site.
If we would upgrade the house the rental cost would be up!
I was never addressed any further request of cooking supplies, and if the housekeeper took care of it, it is a positive point, it means my staff knows how to service our guests and make them happy and enjoy their vacation.
Finally, most of the condos are sold and filled up, you just don’t see many people around because they cannot use the beach and the beach club.
I would be available to address further questions shall you have others.
Hope to see you around very soon.
Kind Regards
Joseph

Beautiful property right on the beach
Joseph's townhouse is gorgeous - it is clean, neat, and comfortable. It is literally steps from the beach. The view is breathtaking and it's wonderful to hear the waves at night. It is also steps from the swimming pool. We used the paddle board that was available to residents, and I saw other people take out a kayak. The condo is very spacious and could comfortably sleep 8 people. As others have mentioned, there are not a lot of cooking items, so if you plan to cook you have to improvise a bit. Some things that would have been helpful to know in advance: there were 5 beach towels available for use. It is in a fairly remote area - it takes about 20 minutes to drive to Downtown Nassau or Paradise Island, and longer during rush hour in the morning. (Leave plenty of time if you are going on a tour or catching a boat. It took us about 45 minutes one morning to get from the resort to Paradise Island and we were a bit worried we were going to miss the boat.) Most restaurants are in Downtown Nassau or Paradise Island, so if you like to be where there are eateries, etc it is not an ideal location. There is a restaurant on site, but it was only open for dinner and the menu was very limited (grilled chicken, salads, or burgers). Also there is a small cafe at the resort, which we didn't find until the last day of our stay. They serve breakfast sandwiches, coffee and some deli lunch sandwiches. The closest grocery we could find was about 8 minutes away, but was well stocked and had everything you could need. It would be helpful if Joseph/ staff provided a document upon arrival that listed address/directions to closest grocery stores and food options nearby, so tired travelers can find there way a bit more easily in a new location. Overall, it was a great vacation - very private beach, very relaxing.

Dear Kathryn,
thanks for your very nice review. I am really glad you enjoy our beach house.
I would like to make a few comments, all my guests get access to my online hospitality where you find all the information you need during your stay, unfortunately you did not use that facility. The house is not all in a remote place, its is one of the most sought area in Nassau, and indeed driving distances to downtown and Paradise Island is 10/15 minutes. It is obvious that if you try to move around during peak hours traffic jams may be disrupt your local trip and make it longer. The beach club with its bars and restaurants are open both for breakfast, lunch and dinner and during week ends they organise BBQ with music on the beach, so I am surprised you said that it was open only for dinner.
In the beach house there are 20 beach towels, you have to ask just to the house keeper of to Julian if you do not find them.
I do apologise.
Kind Regards
Joseph

5 STAR PRIVATE BEACH EXPERIENCE!!!!
Joseph thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful vacation home for our Girlfriend Getaway. The views are spectacular from the home. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. This beach house is truly a home away from home. We were there in the midst of Tropical Storm Erika. Thankfully, she ventured onward with just a few winds, thunder and showers. The security staff were impeccable and checked on us daily to ensure we were OK! Colette provided excellent transportation service upon our arrival, and when she wasn't available for our excursions she connected us with James to transport us. Both of them were extremely supportive to all our needs.
The clubhouse food is fresh and delicious! Our server Lee was the kindest young man. He did whatever he could to accommodate our request.
We miss Palm Cay 204 already and can't wait to get back there!
A few suggestions for future renters. The home is a little far and public transportation isn't an option. If you plan to visit downtown and enjoy the island cuisine at the Fish Fry a few times, getting a rental car would be ideal. Round trip taxi's a few times can be a bit costly.
It would have been even more enjoyable to sit on the balcony and watch the waves. So if you could provide a few fold up balcony chairs to be stored in the laundry area, that would be nice. To make your future guest stay even more comfortable, please provide a sufficient amount of wash cloths and beach towels. Please also ensure the housekeeper leaves an adequate amount of trash bags to be utilized throughout the stay. Small ant traps, or ant spray would also minimize the amount of ants on the counter tops.
All in all we truly loved our time there. Thank you!!!

Dear Halina,
thanks for enjoying my house and the people helping me around. Hope to see you and your girl team back pretty soon.
At the beginning of the season we had triple shift of bed linen, towels and so on. As well as chairs and table on the patio on the beach. Things have been broken and/or lost. However now for a few days there will not be any guests and we are updating everything and I will keep the beach house fresher and even more confortable.
All the best

Palm Cay #204
It's been one week since we rented Joseph's home in Palm Cay (from 7/4 to 7/11) and we miss it already. If you are looking for a secluded getaway with breathtaking views, the ocean literally at your back door and perhaps the nicest beach on Nassau then this is it. There are perhaps only a 1/2 dozen units at Palm Cay that are completed, including Joseph's, so excluding the Marina we at times felt that we had the entire community to ourselves. The major positives of our stay were the beautiful beach that you walked into 30 ft from the rear of the property (we were told that the developers spent $1.6mm building the beach and it shows!) and the beautiful pool right next door to our building, as well as all the people at Palm Cay from the security staff to Demaro (the Marina manager) and Clara (our local property manager) as well as Colette and Kendall who provided much of our transportation during the week. All provided great service and went out of their way to make us feel welcome!
Some of the other reviews have described the issues with Joseph's home which we found relatively minor but others may not, especially for extended stays. These include some fit and finish aspects (unfinished drywall/spackling in some of the bathrooms) and minimal furnishings from the furniture and televisions (only 1) to cooking items and utensils (no mixing bowls or frying pans which we purchased and left for other guests). While at the property we had the chance to tour the Palm Cay model home, which is simply gorgeous!, so I'm sure such easily addressed issues with Joseph's home will improve over time. The only other item to mention is that Palm Cay is on the east end of Nassau, fairly remote from downtown or Paradise Island so cab rides can get expensive (If you're not scared off by driving the 'other side of the road' then I would recommend renting a car!) and infrastructure is still developing (we lost power 3 times during the week). Despite the minor issues, we really enjoyed our stay at Palm Cay

Dear Mark,
Thanks for your nice comments and I am glad you have enjoyed so much. We have decided to furnish the beach house nicely but basically (but with good quality furniture) for a number of reasons:
-we wanted to keep the price as low as possible to permit as many as possible people to enjoy one of teh best beach in Nassau, to be on such a beach it is a premium, and in the Bahamas everything costs double or triple then in the USA;
-so far we have been right people enjoy the comfortable beach house layout, and we have had many returns after a few months, as most of you know at the end of the day people are also price sensitive;;
-Palm Cay is possible one of the best resorts in Nassau and it is secured and gated;
-Palm Cay is likely to stay as it is and you will feel on your own private beach, the beach just out from the house is solely reserved for the beach-house owners who are only about 18.
The cooking utensils you bought were then paid by me and it was agreed between us. The reason was that you did not like the one available in the house and you wished to cook extensively. The way you wrote looks like the house does not have cooking utensils, which is definitely not the case. Actually I provide an additional service at my cost.
Mark, i hope to see have you back very soon.
Sincerely
Joseph

Fabulous View, Underwhelming Amenties
Just let me state right at the beginning, that we traveled with friends of ours and spent 4 hours in their condo before being able to enter ours. Because we had this 1st impression, we were excited to see our unit. WOW, how disappointed we were. The view itself was great, same as we saw in our friends unit- but the accommodations, let’s just say sparse. The furnishings seems to be of a garage sale quality. My kids didn’t want to sit on the furniture in the great room, which was slightly dingy and sticky from what I would guess, sweat and sunscreen. Then, in the kitchen, again , a very lackluster array of utensils and supplies. Especially, the dirty sauté pans (appeared to be dried eggs) or the sheet pan left in the oven with crumbs from some previous renter - as my kids said - gross. Then upstairs - lets just say, I had more and better furniture and beds in college. The mattresses were just ok, however, the bed frames were loose and noisy- so, every time you turn, you and your partner were awakened. And finally, the most frustrating part of the visit was the lack of refinement with the bathrooms. There were no towels or washcloths assigned to each bath. We had to search for the towels and found them spread throughout the closets and laundry basket. This was the epitome of garage sale items, all mismatched and of very poor quality and condition. We also found used small bars of soap in 2 bathrooms, no dish soap for handwashing dishes and had to ask the property manager to come back and put toilet paper in the 3 of the bathrooms. ( Which, he went into a locked room to retrieve and didn’t leave any extra in case we ran out.)
We did enjoy our time in The Bahamas because we spent 90% of our time in our freinds condo or out enjoying the sights. We write this review with the hopes of adding constructive suggestions to the owner. He was very responsive to our messages. But, when someone spends a couple thousand dollars and takes his family on fall break to a resort area, you expect some semblance of ‘resort’. Matching towels, pre-positioned in the bathrooms - at least some soap dispensers for handwashing and dishes and utensils that make you feel like you’re vacationing at a resort, in a resort - not visiting your families 1 room cabin.

Dear Jeff,
I really appreciate your comments, indeed some of the comments are definitely true, others are definitely false. So I go one by one:
- chicken is 4Pm, and you arrived 4 hours before the checkin time and I was advised by you only at 4Pm that you were already there. After a long trip to get to the house, I definitely understand that you had the feelings that your vacation was going to be wrong, which is not the case. You never complained during your stay!
-I had a change of property manager who without my authorization changed my housekeeper, and indeed the house was clean, but that housekeeper was not prepared to prepare the house for a vacation rentals.
- The new manager did not fix the beds, as we do very often.
- Because of this situation, You got an extremely low rate to be at my house, 2000USD per 6 days for 4 people, including cleaning, fees, taxes and so on, for a new beach house in an exclusive resort in the Bahamas. Your friend beach house you mention in the review, paid 5000USD. Indeed, whatever price you pay a guest deserves the best. But things have to be realistically explained.
- You mention "garage sale" it is over offensive and bad placed. All the furniture is brand new and maybe not of the best quality, but that affirmation is out of the scope.
-It is written into the booking system that for that price toilet paper and soap are not included. I advised you about that. So to complain afterwards is not correct. However the manager free of charge provided you with soap and toilet paper.
Just to be clear, you have to realize that for letting that very low price to you at the end of the day, the profits are very low, you enjoyed a gorgeous vacation, broke two sun chairs, stole a electric cable, broke a water pipe into the master bathroom smoke in the house and still complain? And I did not ask you for forfeiting your deposit. AND YOU COMPLAIN?

5+ Stars for the location and view, but not for the interior
We booked this place only about one month in advance of the holidays, and were fortunate to find a beachfront location. This location is truly fantastic! Photos showing just a few steps out to the sand and water are accurate. The Palm Cay development is wonderful- turquoise water, soft sand, friendly staff, safe. I would absolutely return to Palm Cay. However, I am unlikely to rent this particular condo again unless the interior is improved. The bones of this place are good, and it's clean. It's spacious. Having 3 ensuite bathrooms plus a first floor half bath is great. I agree with previous reviews saying that the furniture and decor are in great need of improvement. Couches are uncomfortable and low quality, as is the rest of the living area furniture, except perhaps the dining table. Lamps and lighting throughout are scarce, so that you mostly have overhead lighting only. Honestly have never been in bathrooms with granite countertops but no lights over the mirrors-the only light comes from a small overhead fixture! Really odd. Master bedroom is spartan but ok, but the other bedrooms are lacking nightstands and some lamps. Literally nothing on the bedroom walls, no decor whatsoever. Random small canvas prints scattered on the living area walls.
I'm hopeful that the new management team will be able to make improvements.They are energetic, very responsive, but had only just started with this rental unit. Wishing them luck! Some basic kitchen improvements needed for example-baking sheets, sharp knives, steak knives, scissors, more glasses, and anchoring the dishwasher. A third floor electrical problem was not resolved during our stay- many of the outlets were nonfunctional.The hard plastic beach loungers need pads to be at all comfortable. The charcoal grill is small and must be moved from an awkward storage area for use. The towels are ancient, almost all are well past due for replacement. I could go on, but you get the idea.
The owner says they're keeping the price low, but it's a false economy. Why spend money only to be uncomfortable and unable to fully relax when inside your vacation rental? People renting units near us had paid similar or just slightly more, and some of their gorgeous condos included the price of membership in the Palm Cay pool club (was $250 extra for the week for us - has a nice bar and food service and comfy loungers around pool and on beach). Next time I’ll check for neighboring rentals instead.

Dear Lois, thanks a lot for taking the time for writing on our stunning property on the beach.
Unfortunately, most of your review is a fake, but I understand you. First of all you paid half of the price that any other unit on the beach and not a nominal difference. The membership fee you mentioned is only for the cabanas, bars and restaurant are opent to everyone!
Towels, bed linens, plates, baking equipment, knives and so on are in large quantities and just one month old at the time you visited us.
Any other of your statements is fake, if the couch was not confortabile to you?what can we do?
If the new brand beds and lightings are not of your style
What can we do?
Nevertheless I am grateful you spent an execellent vacation with us and as you told us was one of your best.
Oopppss, I forget to remember you that, as you Know, someone of your group generated an electric break down by letting water on one plug in the third floor, of course you said was none in your group.... and I didn’t ask you to repay the very costing electrical repairs.
I would anyhow consider your review. All the best and be grateful

Be aware - this place is not worth it
Let me start that the property manager Vernea was the only good thing about this place. She clearly isn’t responsible for all the short comings over this run down condo. We had rented a total of three places in the complex so it was hard to see how disgusting our place was compared to the other two. We were a family of 8 with one toddler.
1. The Roaches.. were everywhere in the kitchen. We had to ensure no food was left anywhere outside of the fridge. They were crawling in the dishwasher, under the oven, in the cabinets. It was disgusting. We were brought bug spray but that was it. The ants were just as big of a problem but the roaches by far grossed us all out.
2. Master bedroom leaks massively from the ceiling when it rains – we had to put down several towels to soak up the all the water. You can tell this has been a long problem since the wood floors have a lot of water damage.
3. Lack of cutlery, plates, pots/pans etc for a condo who is to support 8+ people. We had to go to the store to buy paper plates and cutlery for our family for the week.
4. The décor and furniture is so old and worn it felt like a frat house.
5. The master balcony furniture consists of two cheap plastic chairs next to the rotting railing.
6. Master bedroom only had to panel curtains – asked for more to be purchased and brought over but that did not happen. So clearly there is no black out for the early mornings.
7. Toaster didn’t work and coffee pot worked occasionally (so old and gross other condos had Keurigs).
8. Water pump went out and we were brought a hand pump. Also meant we were also out of ice so had to go and purchase ice for our drinks
9. Blender leaks at the bottom and is on its last legs.
10. No hose for washing the extremely small deck from sand.
11. Front door is rotting wood on the bottom as well as the master deck railing
Other properties we rented provided hoses, floats, toy boxes for kids, Keurig’s, nice towels, stable Wifi, 4 barstools instead of two that you get at this condo, rugs etc. for the same or similar price.
Overall skip this place. There are clearly others in this complex that have put time and money in there properties to make them nice and warm and inviting, and don't have a roach and ant problem.

We always appreciate reviews from our guests. However, this review is full of fake facts and the guest was a serious chronic complainer to avoid by any mean. Our staff had multiple visits during her stay!
Since the arrival, Amy asked that the curtains in the master bed room to be changed because she did not like it, of course this is not feasible. Then she complained about roaches, so our staff was right away at the beach house, however she could not show them where the roaches were. While the place extermination is every 3 weeks, another one was carried to make the guest quiet. However there was no need at all. No roaches were sighted during the multiple visits!
Then she as unable to operate the ice machine at the refrigerator, so the staff provided another easy to use electrical pump, and not manual as stated in the review!
On the beach wood deck there is a shower!
Kid beach toys are available into the laundry!
WIFI is the same over the resort!
All the rest is properly functioning. To be totally cleat, she did not even report any of these problems during her stay. But she tried to get a refund! that was refused.
The same on the furniture, which is a combination of old and new and continuosly renovating.
Finally, one point on the daily fee: this guest paid 490 USD per night, being right on the beach! The others on the beach charges a minimum of 850USD per night! It does not seems to us that it is the same or similar price. Unless they get an apartment awy from the beach!
This fake reviews should not be permitted!
