We had a mostly relaxing stay at this property. It’s proximity to a pristine beach was the best part. There were a few things I did not enjoy though. The refrigerator did not work properly and froze many of our fruits and vegetables, so we had a lot of wasted food. The coffee maker had an old filter from a previous renter and was filled with green mold, fortunately my husband had his pour over cup filter, but we were pretty disgusted. It made me question how thoroughly the place was cleaned before we arrived. The balcony had a beautiful view of the bay facing west but no proper table and chairs so we were forced to eat in the tiny cramped kitchen downstairs. My first attempt at using the oven again confirmed the lack of care in cleanliness. The inside of the oven was coated with a burnt black something that fell into my food while it was cooking, gross! Don’t know the last time it was attended too. I know people will say, why are you cooking anyway, you’re on vacation but I enjoy it and that’s one of reasons we rented an apartment vs staying in a hotel. More importantly, I don’t know how common it is for the owner to come knocking at your door at 8:00pm asking if he could show the place to a potential renter at 9:00pm, but it happened to us and we did not appreciate it. The guy showed up after I had put my young daughter to bed and subsequently woke her up. Parking is sketchy too, you have to back in to the lot on a hairpin turn, not easy in a rental car. It wasn’t totally bad. The beach was great, the view was great, but with some extra attention to the place and some better manners from the owner, we would have certainly enjoyed ourselves more.
