No elevator

Make sure you know that there is not an elevator on property so if you’re not on the first floor it will be difficult with luggage. Also, during our stay, there was rarely someone at the front seat which makes getting help difficult. CeCe the property owner was amazing and very helpful. We just had to ask all our questions over messages due to the absent desk attendant.

Excellent location

Parking in the area was very limited but we were able to check in early just to get a spot. Extremely close to restaurants and shops. Studio was clean and compact the only downside was no good location to plug in my CPAP. Minor, since I slept well without it. Would use again.

Host is not hospitable . Warning!!!

The condo was a beautiful location, loved the view of the property, very tropical. the Room itself is just a room to sleep in , most of the time we spent exploring the island. The host, however, is cheap. No coffee in the room . Vo5 for shampoo. She will charge you extra for the use of the space and items there . It’s best not to go to the beach and track sand back into the house and please don’t use her towels or other amenities in the room otherwise she will charge you extra! I cleaned up some spilled coffee with the kitchen towel she had there and she wants me to replace it instead of just washing it . Same with the bath towels. We used them , She wants us to replace them instead of just washing them. She said we flooded the patio 😂 and sent a ridiculous picture of ice melting that we dumped out a small cooler. I thought the ice would dry up pretty quickly seeing how it’s so hot there but now she needs a deep clean for that and sweeping up some sand charging $75. She’s absolutely ridiculous with her expectations. Definitely recommend the condo itself however avoid this room specifically because of the host .

Only complaint is the door to the apartment was very challenging to close. The top corner was warped from moisture causing having to slam the door making a lot of noise and then slam your shoulder in the door in order to secure from inside the apartment. Parking was limited when arriving in the evening, had to park off the busy highway.

Checking in was uninformative. Getting into the unit was like having to half break down the door. Stood on a chair to turn on the inefficient air conditioner because remote wouldn’t work. Asked at check in location about wi/fi connection. I was told to message the owner as they know nothing about that. The entire place is old and shabby. I initially had to send out three different messages before I was even given the address to this place. I do not recommend.

Perfect stay for a couple of days

I actually could have actually stayed longer but I was only there until my Ohana was ready for my three month stay. It was more than confortable

This was an exceptional location, beautifully landscaped. The room was nicely decorated the little kitchenette had everything we needed. Balcony was lovely every morning. We appreciated beach chairs, boogie board snorkel gear beach umbrella just made our stay so seamless. Plenty of parking nearby.

check in problem

Horrible communication with property manager. Did not respond until an hour later after several texts and calls to owner and co owner. Booked a hotel down the road and answered after. Long day of traveling for my partner and I and was unable to get a refund as well

I chose this hotel because I wanted to live like I was in a condominium. The room was nicely appointed and the interior was lovely. Mornings spent on the terrace were pleasant, and there were parasols and snorkeling sets, so it was a very comfortable stay. I would definitely like to stay again if I have the chance.

Great location. Had to contact owner for check-in instructions. Had to push hard to open and close front door. No block out blinds for people who are sensitive to light. 2 remotes to use TV. Would be helpful to have instructions on how to use. No kitchen sink plug, only a sink strainer, which seems to be common with condo rentals. Fridge needs to be defrosted. Had an induction cooktop and ice cube trays, which appear to be a bonus for kitchenette set-ups.

Nice unit very very convenient location.

Very nice unit with a nice view of the pool. As other people has stated parking is challenging. But I always found a place in the lot or right next to the property on the street. The bed is comfortable and I slept well. Minor issue with some small ants in the bathroom.owner was very responsive. I would definitely stay here again.
