Thank you for the 5-star review! We are pleased to know you enjoyed the property and that we were able to accommodate your needs. We look forward to seeing you again at Life in Paradise.
Overall the place was okay but the A/C was not working for the first few hours and the room got really hot. We opened the windows to get some air in and there was someone smoking right outside our windows so the cigarette smell went in the room. Once the A/C started working again the stay was fine.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental.
Reviewer Comments:
The a/c was not working properly during the first night of our visit due to an ancient thermostat. The t-stat was replaced. The bartender sink is too small to wash anything except silverware or a coffee cup. We would suggest adding a hot plate next to the microwave. We would recommend that future guests bring their own disposable plates and utensils.
