Pros:
-location, it's right on the beach and is very private
-pool and pool area is very nice and relaxing
-neighboring dog would come by and hang out with us at random times
-views from master bedroom, living room and rooftop are amazing
-wifi worked great
Cons:
-lots of ants in one of the poolside bedrooms on the bottom floor
-house needs some general repairs and replacements, broken light fixture in bathroom, toilet seats stained, broken plastic adirondack chairs on rooftop deck, etc.
-no shelves or anything in poolside bedroom bathrooms, no luggage racks
-palapa on beach was unusable, looks like it's being demolished
-every room in the house has a separate set of keys and alarm, lots to keep up with
-sliding glass door in poolside bedroom would not lock, there was an iron bar door that did lock to keep people out. But the bars are wide enough that someone could reach through and grab anything within reach.
Overall: The house looks very impressive upon arrival. Once you get in, you can quickly see where it has been neglected. The house is also very segmented. While it's a good place to sleep for a group of 6 like us, there was not really an indoor area for us to hangout comfortably as a group. There is no shade on the rooftop deck, so that was great for early morning and nighttime. The main living area with the kitchen has only a small sofa and one chair, aside from the dining room table.
The kitchen is much smaller than expected but was all in working order. We did love the gas stove and laundry room.
The onsite caretaker was pleasant but is seemingly always around. It didn't bother us, but some may not like it. He also stressed to us many times to always lock up and use the safes in the rooms. We didn't have anything stolen or suspect anybody attempting to enter the property.
This is a cool house, off the beaten path. With some updates and other general repairs, it could be a 5-star accommodation. As is, we probably would not stay here again.
