I’m not quite sure how to review this home. The pictures definitely paint it in a very good light. There are parts of the home that are nice, like the pool and the living area/ eating areas that looks out on the pool. We went with another family and it was nice to have two sides of the house that were identical so we all had our space. However there is so much that was in disrepair and things that really made our stay difficult. For starters, only the bedrooms are air conditioned and the air conditioner in one of the master’s was broken upon arrival. It was nearly 100 degrees and 95% humidity while we were there. If you were anywhere outside the bedrooms in the home it was absolutely miserable, even with the “sea breeze” coming in from the windows. Also, I know the owners cannot control the seaweed, but just as a warning, the seaweed was not just annoying because you can’t swim in the ocean, but the smell is rancid and completely overwhelming. They have people attempting to shovel it up, though it doesn’t even make a dent in the amount of seaweed, and they just end up taking it to a giant pile in front of the house. So there are piles of seaweed in front of the house and on the beach and the smell was truly terrible. Even if the home was amazing, I would never go back just because of the smell and you just cannot escape it, since you have to leave the windows and doors open because of the absence of air conditioning. It was just too hot to not have the entire home air conditioner. The kitchen is just ok, though it was nice to have 2 refrigerators. The groundskeeper and the housekeeper were great. There were a lot of other things in the house in disrepair, but I can overlook most of that. The biggest problem was the heat and the smell. We won’t be staying here again and wouldn’t recommend this property either.
