Aruba Getaway

We enjoyed our stay. The pool was quite crowded at times. Only one bed in kid's bunk room was made up. Kids made their own beds. No access to Kokomo Yacht Club which would have been perfect.

Padre-2022

The property was clean and spacious. The bedding and bathrooms were good-excellent. The kitchen utensils need to be tossed and replaced. The couches were both shot. The dimensional lumber dining room table was cumbersome and painful to the feet. Worse part was 2 loud parties lasting to 2 AM by the neighboring rental unit.

Mediocre Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was satisfied with the cleanliness of the condo, as well as the location. The kitchen was stocked alright, and the backyard and pool area were clean. The pool was a decent size - nothing fancy, but clean. What would keep me from returning there is the lack of linens provided and the rickety appliances. Seriously?! ONE towel per guest?! The females used tshirts to dry their hair. That’s ridiculous. Thin little blankets... and not enough extra in the house to cover the unfortunate guests who had to sleep on the rickety pull out couch. Not enough pillows. Not to mention the dishwasher that is falling out, and the very old dryer that takes 3 cycles to dry towels, which is especially annoying since, again, there was one towel and one wash cloth provided per guest so towel washing was a must. This condo leaves a lot to be desired, especially with the competition around it.

A Lovely Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived to a cool, spotless, welcoming home with ample parking space and basically our own personal pool as homes that share it were unoccupied. The floors were perfect for a crawling baby and the bedrooms and bathrooms were sufficient for our party. It’s located by the channel so we were surprised to see lots of fish jumping and volunteer sunflowers growing. The only glitches we had were the uneven floor in the hallway by the front downstairs front bedroom and the trundle bed. I feel the trundle is basically unusable because the room is small and anyone on the bunkbeds would have to step on the trundle to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Nice property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great check-in experience and the house was cold and comfortable from the outset. The rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed having the pool right outside our back door. With our stay moving into the off season, we had it mostly to ourselves. We loved the short walk to and from the beach. There were a couple of minor issues, though: not having a supply of trash can liners available and having to purchase some was inconvenient; the pans had some burned-on particles and needed to be scrubbed before we could use them; and the worst part was the ants. There were ants on the front porch that got into our beach toys and they had to be shaken out each time. There were also ants in the rocks around the pool, especially near the barbecue grill. I was grilling on our last night and i was stung several times on my feet before I realized it was the ants. The morning we checked-out, I also noticed an infestation of ants in the upstairs bathroom near the shower.
