Overall had a fun experience and the owner is 5 stars, easy and no issues, even with a last minute change of dates, great host.
The good:
House is big enough for 12, great layout for groups, pool is great for kids, house and kitchen is well equipped, nice bbq and patio area, nice cold AC. The hiking path by the beach leads to the next door nature preserve which has great hiking/jogging trails, a cool lookout at El Morrillo fort up on the hill, and cool scenery.
Could be better:
Shower tile needs repairs or refinished, power outlets were flaky (at least 2 didnt work) and one was partly exposed, light in the main living room was very dim, and the bunk bed was squeaky. Beach chairs were very rusty /worn, backyard lounge chair cushion was a bit moldy. All of these were minor, and all could be ignored by less picky tenants. Also there was no pool table despite one is shown in the listing photos and prior reviews, but wasnt a huge deal for us.
The not so good:
The beach is 100% piled up with 1ft of dead seaweed and filled the entire beach and water (dont plan to swim or even hang out there, its nasty). This is no fault of the owner, and seaweed is typical of this side of the island, and unfortunately for us on this trip there was excessive seaweed.
Overall, if you plan to hang out and swim and BBQ at the pool and hike by the beach and nearby trails, you wont be disappointed, but if swimming or hanging out at the beach is your thing, probably keep looking.
