I have reached out to property management before posting this review but have not received a response, so here goes. This property has so much potential. It is priced as a top tier property due to its proximity to the beach and the views from the upper floors of the property. There is no view of the ocean from the first floor; other than that, the floor plan is great, there is tons of storage and room for a large party to stay.
As prior reviewers have noted, the property is showing its age. Carpets are in need of a deep clean or replacement, bathrooms are functional but shower doors stick, and the like. Furniture fits the decor well, but is worn and in need of cleaning. The doors from the home to the decks are heavy and very difficult to open. Hot water is slow to arrive at the tap, and even then it is barely lukewarm. The kitchen is dated and not as well stocked as I would have expected. There is a pool right next door to the property, but no access to that pool or any other on the island.
None of this would have mattered to me except that we paid top dollar for this property, at a rate comparable to some pretty spectacular homes we have rented through VRBO in places like Hawaii and Florida. For that price it should have been close to perfect, and it was not.
I would rent this home again if the owners were to either make some serious updates, or if the nightly price was greatly reduced. Until either of those happens, I would advise potential renters to do your homework before choosing this property, and decide if the extra space is worth the extra cost despite these issues.
