My husband I spent the month of February (I know right?!) in this property. We had spent time in this unit 3 years previous with friends and booked it because of the great layout and well-stocked kitchen. I have some food sensitivities, so I end up cooking more than eating out. It is one of the only times I have booked a property with a property manager rather than an owner. My experience is that an owner stays in the unit at least occasionally, so things get maintained and taken care of a bit better. This was the case in this lovely unit. When we arrived the main floor bathroom hot tap would not turn on. Turns out it was broken and had been previously disabled. If I was only staying for a week or so it wouldn’t have really been an issue to only use the cold tap but booking for 4 weeks make it a bit more difficult to make do. It is not a cheap property and that always influences expectations. We ended up waiting at the condo twice for repair guys that didn’t show up. In the end we came home one day to find a guy under the sink working on it while we were away. I didn’t really like that they went in without us. They did replace both taps on the sink and the broken toilet seat while they were there.
Here is my list of amazing comments…
-Soooo many beach towels! It was awesome to not have to wash a load of the 4 beach towels they usually supply each day after! There were probably 20 beach towels in the 3 bedroom unit.
-Every fun item you might want was in the little garage. Multiple snorkels and fins, golf clubs, lawn chairs, umbrellas, bikes, bike repair stuff, bamboo mats, coolers of all sizes, ice packs, probably more that I can’t remember.
-The upper balcony that isn’t talked about in the description much was such a nice place for a morning cup or an evening happy hour cocktail. Private and quiet. Lovely view.
-Beds were super compfy! Just the right balance of supportive and cushy.
-Well stocked kitchen! The knife block has a sharpener so the knives were actually sharp. That must be the first time ever in a condo rental that the knives were good.
-I loved the lighted magnified mirror in all the bathrooms! Nice touch.
Here is my list of things that could be improved…
-Kitchen chairs have lost the support in the seat so when you sit in them you end up perching on the square wood support around the outside under the cushion. They still look great but just need a bit more support under the cushion.
-The carpet under the kitc
