The electricity went out at the property for more than 14 hours with no air conditioning. We called the host number and they said they would get back to us with a projected restoration date and never did. The property was completely pitch black there were no candles or flashlights, which was scary for the kids. We were going to light a campfire in the fire pit out back but there were swarms of bats. It would have been a good experience if not for all the above issues.

Nice place, clean, very well stocked with basics, close to the beach. It is a duplex!! It doesn’t say anywhere that there is another unit right next to it. The only thing is that we got there at 5:30 pm and the cleaning crew was still finishing, the checking time was after 4pm. Good thing we didn’t show up earlier.

Lovely time
Quiet, well stocked with basics for cooking, relaxation. We had some trouble getting streaming to stay engaged to internet, but only meant that we watched less TV, which worked for us. We would rent with you and this place specifically again.
