5 star experience from start to end! Great communication from the host! Checking in was quick and easy. The room was super clean and as described! The property and pool area were beautiful and even has a small pool for kids that wasn’t mentioned but came in clutch for our 1 and 2 year old boys! We will certainly look to stay again with this host in the future!
Couldn't get in the water on the beach because of two red flags just our luck but that's just what you get

In the pictures it looks like you have balcony but you do not. It’s in the hall way. There was a day and half that the room smelled like sewage which the lady at front desk was so nice and let us use some Lysol! The room next to us smelled the same smell! The sheets would not stay on the bed. Also the refrigerator barely cooled anything so we would have to keep things in freezer then put in the refrigerator. But other than that it’s was okay
