Over priced for quality

House needs overhaul .. fixtures, appliances, etc old. Wall to wall carpeting from another era.Special habitat for spiders needs some solution. This limited use of pool and outdoor dining.Many dishes had to be washed to be used.Prior rodent problem worrisome, though clearly corrected. In total not worth the price. Management recognized problems and made a refund of portion of property. Nice book collection.Internet service provider problem. Management attended to problem with competent help.

Thomas, we sincerely thank you for your thoughtful review. Your feedback is greatly valued and always appreciated. Your insights play a crucial role in helping us meet and surpass the expectations of our visitors. Rest assured, we are taking your suggestions seriously and are actively exploring ways to implement some of your recommendations. Palm rats can be quite troublesome, and unfortunately they are a nuisance throughout the island. We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, allowing us to tackle the issue effectively. We sincerely apologize for the internet connectivity issues during your stay. Fortunately, the internet service has improved across the island as we continue to recover from the hurricanes. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and to offer you an even more enjoyable stay. Thank you once again for your kind feedback and support.
