THE GOOD: Location was lovely, appreciated access to the pool, nice to have the availability of things like beach chairs & other equipment, loved spending mornings on the lanai watching the birds, & enjoyed having a bathroom for each bedroom.
THE NOT SO GOOD: Overall this property was a big disappointment when it came to the cleanliness & 2 interactions with the host. We experienced 2 large (4 inches long) cockroaches in the house during our 3 day stay and a gecko in the bedroom. The drapes were stained/dirty, the curtain rods were not adequately attached to the walls & came apart, the fan/light fixtures were extremely dirty with bugs in them, surfaces like light switches & door handle areas were dirty, the carpets were quite dirty/stained, there were stains on the bed sheets, & the cushions on the outdoor chairs were quite filthy and stained. In addition, there was no BBQ as was in the picture and I would consider the A/C as only partial given that there were no vents in 2 bedrooms & the vent that there was in the living area was dripping water from the ceiling onto a placemat on the dining room table. We also found a partial fake eyelash attached to the kitchen scissors.
As for communication with the host , there was no apology at all for the condition of the place. She simply referred to the contract & said we should have said something while were there & nothing could be done such as a refund of the large cleaning fee. Disappointing stay to say the least.
