Week at Casa Javi aka Casa Abi Skye
Our family of 5 adults spent a week here. First time on this platform but used the other (starts with A) for many years- look for reviews on there, too. I rely on fellow renters for honest reviews, so here’s mine.
Pros: Great location and amazing view of ocean from patio/pool. Easy to flag taxis out front. Filtered tap in kitchen + ice machine. A/C mini splits were cold. Couches comfy. But weirdly, no TV in living room where it would have been perfect for a movie night.
Cons: Several items advertised were missing / inaccurate: No BBQ grill, which was one reason we booked. When asked, they seemed baffled and said that grills were not allowed b/c of fire risk? Oven was gas, weak, and could not cook frozen fries even at max temp. When we asked, we were told that most people don’t use the oven- they just go out to eat.
Rooftop spa was in no way usable even after several convos and a visit by pool guys. No jets and no heat, then jets were on 24/7 which you could hear all through the house. The amount of chlorine added to the water was not safe- and made it too strong to soak in. The fumes were unreal. We chose this house for the spa tub (and grill) so this was a big disappointment. I would not have booked had I known.
No hot water at kitchen sink.
If you can overlook some cons, you can be happy here. Views! Sea glass on the beach!
The management company needs to update their listings on these sites- especially after so many repeated comments about inaccuracies.
