TV had limited stations. Tub and sink in master did not drain well. No wine glasses, just champagne glasses. Area around pool needs power washing. Green mold. Pool floats dirty.

Great location with private pool and everything you need!
My husband and I stayed for 4 nights but another couple would also be very comfortable given the second ensuite bedroom. We walked to everything and were very impressed that we didn't even have to go to the grocery store. Will definitely stay here again!

Great location. Nice little pool. Good service. Some pre-planned attention to detail in the kitchen/accessories, technology and master shower exchange switch would take to 5 stars. Really great. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

Thanks for the great feedback, Laura! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the location and the pool, and that the little extras like the beach towels and sunscreen made your stay even better. Hope to welcome you back soon!
Overall it was great. I would stay there again. My only observation is that the property needs some minor upgrades. For example, the main bedroom door doesn’t close well and some of the blinds are quite dated and in need of repair. These are minor things and didn’t impact my stay, just observations regarding certain things.Location was great, pool was great and I would stay again.
