Coral Reef Beach House - Relax or Dive in Paradise, great central location

Great house in a pretty, safe-feeling neighborhood, with wonderful views. We especially enjoyed the back porch and pool! Was really nice to also have an ocean view from the front of the house.We understand it’s the Caribbean. There’s going to be some sand, maybe a little dirt. A few bugs. Some things are going to be a little rusted and corroded. The salt in the air makes upkeep REALLY tough! And the water is from the cistern. So water conservation is key. We could tell some paint has been touched up lately, esp outside around the pool, and the owner/ property manager do a pretty good job of upkeep on this nice property. It’s a great house, that met our needs very well. Pretty well appointed, tho you have to hunt for things like trash bags. And if there was toilet paper, we couldn’t find it. Thankful we went to the house before our store/grocery run, so we could stock some tp. We did have ants in the master bedroom bed that bit us the first night. There was some ant spray in the bathroom that we used along the doorway outside the MBR; seemed to help a lot. A mattress pad and better pillows would be big improvements in that MBR. We’re also glad we didn’t end up needing the 4th BR, as it’s really the closet in the MBR with a bed in it, not an additional bedroom. And the 1/2 bath is outside off the laundry room, again with no tp. We didn’t find it for a few days, lol.Overall a nice house in a safe neighborhood. We’re grateful to the owners for sharing it on VRBO!

This house was the perfect fit for our two families. There was lots of outdoor space for everyone to hang out and the pool was in good condition. Central location was great and we were able to easily hit the different places we wanted to visit. Clean, cool (wall units), and full of the necessities (loads of towels, laundry, well-equipped kitchen). Would stay here again and highly recommend!
