Great but not Perfect
The property description was as accurate as any we've ever seen on listing websites. What you see on the listing is absolutely what you get. We were two people in a home that easily accommodates six - we have zero complaints about the space and the decor. There are a few things that could have made the experience a little better. Some the owners can address - others relate to the location. The back of the home is adjacent to an area that is fairly rustic. For us, at the end of the rainy season, this meant we couldn't use it very much because of the mosquitos. The dining room is in this area. Despite five citronella candles and dousing ourselves with insect repellant, we were bitten fairly comprehensively. Even the front, which faces West, was very buggy. This would not be a problem at other times of the year - but it meant that we pretty much couldn't go outside at the house for the 11 days we stayed there. The pool is in the back too - it doesn't get much sun - and was way too cold for us to use. Fine for a plunge pool when it's seriously warm, but unusable for us. The only other quibble we have is that the kitchen is fairly good, but no blender, no food processor - good enough, but a long way from the best place we've stayed. Again - look at the pictures. This is exactly what you'll get. You're a five minute walk from great restaurants and the beach. If you don't want to cook, you don't need to. We enjoyed our 11 nights - the reasons for four rather than five stars should be pretty clear from these notes.
