This is rich coming from people who treated the casita like their personal pigsty. Rotting fruit on the table, maggots in the trash, which appeared to never be taken out by the way, and filthy dishes everywhere. Plus you were extremely rude to my kind neighbors. Unless you’re going to stay at a resort at quadruple the price, you’re going to have to drive to a beach, including 2 minutes to the one across the road. You should have done more research about the area. My review of your stay reflects your complete lack of respect. Good riddance. Circling back about the kitchen. There are no plastic shelves or plastic dishes or glasses. I have metal rolling carts for all kitchen items, making them more accessible than shelves under the counter. Green pans for cookware. Corelle for the dishes and acrylic drinkware. Why? Because I learned early on that people break dishes and glassware constantly. For safety, I moved to high quality unbreakable dishware. Utensils are metal. And there is extremely hard water in the area, I replace the kitchen and bathroom faucet hardware regularly because of the build up. The backyard looks exactly like the photos, and I can't control traffic sounds.

Kitty, did you ever talk to the property manager about this? I’m sure it could have been resolved it quickly if you told them. I’m sorry this happened.

Hi Karly, I wish you would have told me about the hammock, I had no idea! I will have the property managers get a new one ASAP. The pin on the map is done by VRBO, I don’t have the ability to move it. I also can’t help that the beach hours at Xcacel are limited to 6 hours a day. It’s run by a Mayan family to preserve the integrity and cleanliness of what is first and foremost turtle nesting grounds. I wish you had reached out, this is the first 3 star review I’ve ever received in the 10 years I’ve been renting out the house.

So glad you liked it Roy, please come back!!
