Lisa

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
There was old food in the fridge, the coffee pot was dirty, there were no filters for the coffeemaker. The switch plates for the lights in the kitchen were disgusting, grimy and sticky. The stove hood where the stove light switch is was gross. The shade in the front window had missing blind areas. Also the fridge froze my drinks.

Beautiful property. Peaceful stay. Read the fine print though and make sure if you book it expecting beach front that you be careful to select it…we almost didn’t get a beach front we were expecting because of expedias description but staff was awesome and worked with us. Beautiful comfy cozy place to stay
