We had a great stay. The house is beautiful well located and exactly as described. The host was fantastic very responsive and professional. When we experienced a small issue with the hot water tank, she responded within minutes and had maintenance on site almost immediately. The problem was fixed quickly and without any disruption to our stay. I would definitely book this property again.

Great host, and exceeded all expectations!

Beautiful views out of practically every room and plenty spacious. We enjoyed the large kitchen that opened to the living area - made it so easy to cook and enjoy our time. The balconies overlooking the ocean were perfect and the outdoor furniture was great. The only thing I’d say is one of the skylights was gone so it was covered with a tarp (and we had a hard rain) and one of the bathrooms the ceiling was cut out so you could see into the ceiling with the piping. We opted to not use that room. We would stay here again.

Location was great, but the place definitely needs some improvements.
