Great Location but accommodations not as described on the listing.
This house has great potential but is not ready to rent. It’s in a great location and right in front of a beautiful beach but it needs a lot of TLC and some new furniture. We were told that the house came with a fully equipped kitchen and all the linen that we would need during our stay. Everything in the kitchen is really old and rusted. The kitchen had one pot with no lid, an old stained chopping board, a broken coffee maker, a blender, a few mugs, some plates and really old kitchen utensils. Definitely not a functional kitchen. The beds had sheets only and we got two really old towels. After asking for more towels and bed covers, we were given some stained beach towels and some blankets. Unfortunately, the first afternoon we were here we had to spend cleaning, asking for items that were missing and we needed for our stay and setting up beds that we thought would be ready when we arrived. The house has a really bad moldy smell. Some of the windows are broken and you can’t open or close them. The showers were dirty, some of the doors don’t work and all the hardware throughout the house is rusted. There is no lighting in the covered patio by the dining table (there is a broken floor lamp) and the table and chairs are not in good shape. The sofa bed is old and un-usable and the sofa feels humid when you sit on it. The house did not have potable water and we were not notified of this until we noticed sandy brown water coming out of the kitchen faucet. The pool was dirty, full of leaves and we were only able to use it for a day during our three-day stay because they decided to do maintenance on it halfway through our stay. The tin roof on the outdoor patio is completely rusted with rusty pieces all over the floor. We felt it was unsafe to use. We had no water at all in the house the last night we were there. I have to say that after asking for some money back when we arrived due to the property not being what we expected or what was listed on the post, we were given a discount but if I would have known all the problems we would have during our short stay here, I would have looked for a different place to rent. Another thing that was not mentioned on the post and we think it's important for guest to know, is that this house shares the pool/property/parking with another rental house.
