First impression of the house was that it was very roomy and spacious! It was nicely decorated and cozy. We stayed for four nights and enjoyed it, but not without our share of complaints.
I think the biggest complaint that renters should be aware of is the roaches. Soooo many roaches. We first noticed them in the master bathroom. I saw two crawling around and immediately called my fiancé to take care of the situation. I didn’t think too much of it since we are on a secluded island, there will be bugs. But then they kept coming. We noticed them more and more and one night, while we were eating outside, a swarm of about 50 of them show up to gone us. Eeek! The property manager called to ask how we were enjoying our stay and when I told them about the roaches they simply said it must be getting close their monthly spray.
Now let me review the stay room by room.
Outdoor area: the outdoor area is really nice. Plenty of space for a large family to sit and eat. The pool was nice, but dirty. There was trash left by previous guests by the pool and there are no cushions for the pool layout chairs so you will be laying on hard wood. Also, no floats or pool toys. When I asked the manager about it she told me we could buy them at the store. We flew down from New York and weren’t about to go buy a pool floats we couldn’t bring back. But having one here would have been nice. Also, no beach towels so you have to use the towels that were supplied for the bathroom. And if you want to wash them in the washing machine, good luck! When booking the house, we were told that laundry detergent would be supplied. They left ONE tide pod. So we had to really plan how/when to do our one load that we were allowed.
The kitchen: the kitchen is big and spacious with all the kitchen equipment you will need. Plenary of plates, bowls, cups, ect. They left us with one roll of the cheapest paper towels you could possibly find which we went through in one evening. The dishwasher worked great and the table is large enough for everyone.
The living room: big and cozy! We loved hanging out here. The tv is a smart tv so you can cuddle up and watch Netflix!
The bedroom: we really only stayed in the master suit. It was spacious and the bed was cozy. My fiancé and I both didn’t care for the pillows on the bed. They felt cheap and were far too firm.
Overall, the house was nice but with no outdoor cushions by the pool no pool floats, super cheap paper towels, one tide pod, it felt skimpy
