Liked: Cleanliness
Great space, amazing location close to the beach and shops, beautiful walkable streets. Communication with the property manager was very good. We had our problems solved and questions answered promptly. The only problem was the master bathroom shower that had only hot water so we couldn't use it. There's a second bathroom that can be used instead. Great stay overall.

Extremely hot upstairs. Air conditioner did not cool home. Kitchen supplies lacking no can opener, coffee maker broke, very small shower.We had bugs on both our stays. The code to get in the home was the same as our first stay. This really made me and wife very nervous.No dishwasher or ice maker.
