1. The house is nice, clean, and on an incredible beach
2. Housekeeping is good and professional.
3. Communication was zero.
a) I sent basic info via the vrbo site as requested. Days later, the host said to text her as she did not check the vrbo site frequently; b) I asked the host for the phone number to text, with no response, but I found it on vrbo; c) I was told to text when getting on the ferry for the island, and someone would pick us up; d) After sending several texts once on the ferry and for over 30 minutes at the dock, I texted the company we rented a golf cart from to ask if they had the name/location of the property, which they did; e) After 40 minutes we called a taxi and headed to the house. I texted the host to ask about instructions to enter the home, no response again, but the house was open. The only communication from the host was that someone would pick us up, but there was no other information, and no one showed up.
4. The Island—East v. West. The island is 1/2 miles wide. The house is on the West side, and it feels much safer than the East side. However, in a house, as compared to a resort, it never felt 100% safe. On the first day, my family was approached several times inappropriately; one man even dropped his pants in front of my family while I was in a store, so my wife pulled me out of the store, saying we had to leave now. I jumped in the golf cart and we left. There are many very good people there, so safety is likely a local concern too.
