As other reviewers have noted, transportation (taxi, rental car or bus) will be required. Bert (the house manager) greeted us at the airport, there was a bit of confusion regarding our pick-up and our transport to the rental, but once sorted it was all ok. Bert waited at Grocery store with us which was perfect.
The property is as advertised. It's in a quiet, rural residential setting, approx 20 minutes drive from the airport. Upon entering the front door, a clear view to the back patio and the ocean greet you. The house is quite large- more than enough space for our group of 4. The 5 bedrooms, all with en-suite baths and all but 1 bedroom have their own terrace; as stated only 2 of the bedrooms have air conditioning (as of the time of this review). We found the decor in many of the rooms (including bedrooms) to be a bit worn and understated, but the rental appeared clean and organized. We found the bed small with very basic bedding. In the master, the jacuzzi was not working at the time we visited. If that is important to you, you may wish to inquire to see if it has been repaired. The local swim at a nearby beach but the surf is quite rough. Along the East-facing coast, there is a constant, warm breeze and the views from house, spectacular.
We enjoyed the bluetooth for music and many meals on the terrace. We also spent time enjoying the pool and adjoining patio. The pool appeared clean, it is deep and refreshing. The patio is large needs, but a group larger than 4 might find 4 lounge chairs insufficient. The patio furniture and coushins, we thought, could stand to be freshened/replaced. There are 2 beautiful wicker lounge chairs on a second floor terrace, one of which we moved down to the main patio. We thought that the rental could use more patio furniture of that caliber and some greenery (perhaps potted planting) to make it a bit more inviting and provide privacy.
The kitchen is well equipped. The appliances were all in good working order. For those who really love coffee, you will find a full-sized, drip coffee-maker and you will also find a regular-size blender (no coffee bean grinder, so purchase it ground).
If you want to pay for daily cleaning services check with Kevin to arrange as he was very receptive to our request. Thank-you Kevin.
Bert was always available if we needed anything- Just a phone call away.The owner was responsive and checked in with us part-way through our stay.
Overall, very enjoyable 4.5 stars
