Dan was the consummate VRBO host. Communication before booking, post booking, and post-arrival was SUPERB. The property was clean, well appointed, and spacious. It accommodated our party of 5 adults and one child perfectly. We did have problems with ants in the kitchen, but upon notifying Dan, he had his handyman take care of the issue promptly using organic pest deterrents, thinking of our daughter and to reduce exposure to toxic chemicals. So very thoughtful!
The kitchen is well stocked with all of the essential cooking tools and plenty of storage containers to keep food fresh from the humidity. Due to food safety concerns, the hosts do not provide any cooking essentials like oil, salt or pepper. This would have been nice to know in advance to so that we could cook the meals we had planned without making another run to the store. I only mention this so that others are aware in advance of their arrival if they plan to prepare meals at the property. Maybe this is mentioned in the email sent to renters in advance of arrival and I just missed it. In any event, it does not reflect upon the wonderful experience we had here and the hospitality exhibited by Dan throughout our stay.
We opted not to rent the car, but when our daughter came down sick and we had to take her to the hospital, I reached out to Dan to see about renting it so that the rest of our party wouldn't be without a vehicle and could make their scheduled excursions. He went above and beyond, jumping into action by contacting his on-island property manager and handyman to see if they could get us the keys. It didn't work out, but fortunately we were able to rent a car from Budget up the street. We greatly appreciated that Dan was prompt to our messages and worked so hard to try and get us access to his vehicle.
The dedicated parking space was very nice and the immaculately maintained grounds of the complex were beautiful. The evening sunsets from the amazing swings on the patio were simply breathtaking. As of this writing, we were Dan & Stephanie's 5th renters, and there were zero reviews on the property when we booked. I was a bit hesitant because of this, but so glad we weren't deterred and went through with booking this unit. So, stop looking now and book! This is the perfect condo, in the perfect location, with the perfect hosts.
