The location is five stars. The house is 1 or 2 stars. Here’s a list of things I wish we had known before booking. The house is perpetually damp - literally damp. I understand it’s tropical but very challenging to have damp sheets, floors and toilet paper. Zoom in closely on the windows and you’ll see louvers - these don’t fully close. Even though there are screens, the gnats, noise, moisture and lizards are a problem. We don’t mind the 2” anoles (after all, it’s tropical) but killed a few ants in clothing and relocated 6” geckos every day. Downstairs bathroom is a big collection since it’s open to the outside. The sofa bed was so painful that we put the mattress on the floor. The carpet and couches are stained, all of the cabinetry is so old that the doors don’t close and there are dead gnats everywhere. Even at a normal volume, we heard all of our neighbor’s conversations. We booked for four nights and after the first night I tried to reach vacasa with no response. It wasn’t so bad that I wanted to pay for a second vacation spot, but it is by far the most misrepresented vacation rental we have ever booked. I read the one bad review and discounted the issues. In hindsight, I think they were very generous in their review. If you are just booking for the beach and looking only for a place to crash, the location is excellent. If you are looking for a cozy cottage, to play games or cook and hang out as part of your vacation, keep looking.
