The stopper on the L sink in the master bedroom would not go down. I would say if you need curtains to block out light, don't stay here. We all woke up early in the morning.

I loved the various balconies at the location. It wasn't busy, and the few people there were very friendly. Definitely the place to get REST AND RELAXATION!

Everything was nice, the “starter pack” of necessities was more than enough for us. There was a bug problem. There were a lot of ants coming from under the living room rug and one bit my one year old and the mosquitoes were worse at this home than the neighboring so I'm guessing others treat for them. Overall we would definitely be back.

We loved the layout of the house. Plenty of room for our family. The 3.5 baths was really nice. Very clean. They have plenty of chairs on the deck but since they are low to the ground, the view is looking through the railings of the deck. The outside shower doesn\'t work. They did have a water hose and we used that to rinse the sand off of us before entering the house. They have a set of patio furniture on the ground floor but it has a chord with lock intertwined through the set. You can sit on them but you will have to sit on the chord and they are locked close together. We didn\'t use them. You can not access the beach from behind the house so you must walk to the community gate which is estimated about 3/4 way down the street. Be sure you have a wagon to haul your stuff down to the beach. Its not far but its still a walk. I love that its gated community. The location is great. We had difficulty with the refrigerator being cold. We kept our water on the counter so as not to open it much. We finally realized the settings were off. We had to reset to manufacturer recommendations and it was fine. Just something to check. It is computerized settings. There is some drainage issues in the upstairs middle bathroom shower. It drains but the water collects in the bathtub quicker than it can drain. overall we were happy with the house and the location. We would rent this house again.
