A Beautiful property but a very rocky beginning.
The host and co-host did a great job getting us to the condo and helped us up the two flights of stairs with our luggage. We also really appreciate that they gave us an early check in, especially since it was raining and there was nowhere to go for shelter. The condo was clean, beautiful and modern, but had a strong smell of fish because the previous owner left fish in the trash and because the microwave had also evidently been used to reheat the fish. (Although the housekeeper had taken the kitchen trash can outside before our arrival, the condo still smelled of fish for the first 3 days.) We kept some of the windows opened and gave the microwave a thorough cleaning. Although having included access to two bikes, the roads leading to any store, restaurant, or other part of the island were ridden with many muddy puddles. Anytime there is rain, expect to have to ride bikes through puddles. Because of placement of palm trees/leaves, Ocean views are NOT available from the lower unit unless you’re at least 6 feet tall. We stayed a week and were told no housekeeping services are provided with a stay of seven days. (Ten (10) day minimum requirement for housekeeping. Finally, it was only because of the intervention of the co-owner, Mark, that we were able to feel heard during the stay. The co-host responses to concerns made us feel as if she thought we were incompetent or inconveniencing her. 1 day before leaving, Chris addressed our primary concerns.
