First, the location was wonderful. Communication with the host was excellent. We were ahead of schedule and allowed to check in a few hours early, which was grestly appreciated. Kitchen was well stocked. Bed sheets and towels were clean. Property was very secluded and quiet. The sounds of ocean waves almost makes up for some of its shortcomings:
The week we arrived was hot. This was expected for this time of year. Usually most homes in this area do not have AC. As such, we chose a listing based on criteria that it has air conditioning, mainly because we had a small baby in tow. On the day of check-in, prior to our arrival, the host informed us that we should open the windows to allow the house to cool down. I thought that was strange, since it was listed as having air conditioning. On arrival, the "air conditioner" was actually just a single-hose portable AC unit, hooked up to a broken and duct-taped together pane of lexan, secured to one of the windows. Three box fans were also available. Unfortunately, the home did not have any window coverings (although you could see where curtain rods were originally installed). As a result, the living room acted as a sunroom, with temps in the low to mid 90's inside during our first few days. We spent most of our time outside, to cool down. No window coverings also meant the sunlight was shining directly into the eastern facing room by 5am. Unfortunately, based on our overall experience, we would likely not return.
