This VRBO has wonderful things and challenging things people need to be aware of. The house is located on a black sands beach that is safe, quiet and very private. The outside space with the pool, covered patio and open decks with ocean views is outstanding. We loved spending time out here. The master bedroom also had a comfortable bed and AC and the bathroom was upgraded as were most of the bathrooms in the house. We loved all the wildlife-Scarlet McCaws, white faced monkeys, iguanas and racoons and just down the road were a family of howler monkeys that we liked watching. The challenges with this house is that is set up a bit differently. The master bedroom is in the main part of the house where the dining room, very small living room and kitchen are, but the other two bedrooms can only be accessed by walking outside. Great for adults but not if you have small kids. There is also no AC in the main part of the house, only fans and it gets quite hot in there. The kitchen was dirty when we arrived and the glasses, all plastic, need to be switched out as they were well used. The stove was also dirty looking and could be cleaned better, but it did work. Because this house is not close to many restaurants, we were hoping to cook in more, but the cleanliness had us not wanting to do this, plus it was hot inside. We had to navigate lots of sugar ants inside and outside. We did not swim in the ocean because of the trash that came up on the beach. Our host was responsive.

This place was great. Super clean and had pretty much everything you needed. Looking out at the ocean while having my morning coffee was amazing! My grandkids burned up so much energy between the ocean and the pool. Would definitely recommend this place for your family.

Quiet location and views of wildlife. We enjoyed sitting by the pool and listening to the waves crash. Great stay.

We love this VRBO for families. The pool and ocean access are wonderful. Unfortunately, the power went out and would have liked to have been given candles or lanterns as it was getting very dark. But has soon as I asked for them, the power was restored. Overall, great place to stay,
