Overall we really enjoyed the location, it was very close to the beach, amazing restaurants market places and attractions. Also ,with the extreme heat we really enjoy the pool and the cool ac our room had... Our only small complaint was the cleaning fee of $170 for a not so clean condo...after speaking to our host he helped explain the cause and stated he would address it....

Terrible experience 😡

The place was in really bad shape . . . It was Dirty, furniture was terribly worn out, beds were loose appeared as if they were gonna break. . . . Shower heads not working properly. . . Really bad communication with owner of property. I paid $50 for early check in and I was charged $409 dollars for checking out one our late. I was charged for a whole day. That's equivalent to stealing. Makes this app untrustworthy. Check out was at 11am and by 1pm I had already been charged another night for cheking out two hours late.

Stay clear!

The owner is awful! Stay clear of this place. The owner is the most unethical person I have ever done business with. He doesn’t send you the contract until you have already paid your fees and I was already heading there. Contract had questionable items like a minimum 2 night stay because the property company requires this but he doesn’t abide. You pay a resort fee yet a security guard came by to tell us that it is an additional $5 per person because we didn’t have wristbands. I invited my sister’s family over to have pizza with us so I paid wristband for them as well now they owner says he will not refund deposit! He will refund if I remove my negative review! I am paying $250 to save your vacation. Don’t rent this place. The kid pool had a roach floating in it. Big group at night smoking marijuana in the pool no security then.

Rude owner

RST SERVICE EVER! I’ve been going to the island since I was a baby and NEVER had I experienced this type of attitude from owner of s condo. To start of the check in is st 4 pm and check out at 10 am, this doesn’t make any sense not even a full day of rent. They took super long to send me the contract so I could sign and suggested that if I wanted to go in earlier I could pay $50 EXTRA and that we could go in earlier. We where there since 12 pm and then claimed that ny signature on the contract did not match the one on my ID. TAny ways we got the access code at 2:30 pm and surprise! Now he was charging me extra for one extra person because the cleaning lady told him that there where 8 of us instead of 7, let me remind you the advertising said 10 person capacity!!!! So even if the “extra” was staying there bo one should have ever charged us extra! The kitchen was torn up from the ceiling, two of the beds where completely covered in sand and cat/dog hairs, both TVs did not work at all and the entire place smelled humid. They charge $97 for cleaning but you have to clean everything????? According to the rules. Also personal belongings and food where left there feom the past guest or left by the owners im guessing. Over all a horrible experience the entiee time the owner was INCREDIBLY rude to both my husband and I and kept on blaming us. Oh and forget about my $50 extra for getting in 1 and a half hour “earlier” lol.
