We are also VRBO owners, so in our humble opinion- this place should not be marketed as luxury.
Prepare to be surprised as one receives a check-in email (~1 hr before the actual arrival) that the entire property does not have drinkable water (the supposedly bottle water has never materialized); you need to use electricity responsibly and will be charged for excessive usage. That was a joke, I would much appreciate a heads up that island has power outage instead.
There is no onsite garbage collection, and you will need to walk outside the property. It's not a big deal, but it's not âluxurious or charmingâ by any means. (One will get the note that if trash is left upon one, it will incur a $500 fee.) There is About a 4-plus-hour outage daily, two days straight, while it is island-wide. Anything to mitigate would be niceâno battery-operated fans, flashlights, etc.
The walk to the beach is about 30 min - not a big deal for adults, but I would not walk with little kids, in some cases no side walks.
The property is a bit of a mismatch- leaving room and deck really nicely furnished. Bathrooms need a bit of TLC.
This location was amazing! Great view of the sea-easily walkable to restaurants. One just watch out is that it does back up to a main road occasionally used by trucks which can make the walk a bit hairy. I wouldnât recommend with young kids but for older teens and adults in good shape easy to navigate. Just remember to pull all the way over and keep an eye on cars moving down the hill. Otherwise the place is very well appointed and nice. Also keep in mind since it is outdoor living style if itâs hot it will be hot! lol. We hit a heat wave and it was very hot. There are windows AC units in the bedrooms only. Otherwise loved our stay and the spot!
