I hate to leave negative reviews, but I WISH someone would’ve spared our family from a negative experience, so I want to tell you the truth. The house is lovely and as described, however the smell from the rotting seaweed that had been there for months was truly disgusting. We noticed that many locations right down the beach were cleaned up, but the beach in front of this house had not been cleaned up in what seems a long time.
After talking to several locals, we found out this is a regular issue for this particular area. I would NOT recommend staying in this location. The smell was so bad we couldn’t stand to open the doors and let the open air house have the ocean breeze. The air conditioning worked well, but even with the doors closed, the smell was so bad we stayed out of the house except to sleep. We could not enjoy the house or pool at all due to the horrible smell.
Also of note, the wifi and internet never worked the whole time we were there, although since we were only there as little time as possible, it wasn’t a huge issue.
The property manager helped us relocate to another house, and we loved the second location.
We appreciated David and his help finding just the right new place.
I know the owner cannot control the seaweed, and it’s unfortunate that it collects in this area. However, I wish I would’ve known about the smell so I could’ve made the decision to rent or not with that understanding. Now you know. Lovely house. Terrible smell.
