Moved out after one week of a 77 day booking
OK for a week maybe, but not the long work-related stay we’d booked, and we moved out after the first week. No air conditioning (and the need to keep unscreened doors open for ventilation, despite lots of fans) meant we were eaten alive by sandflies. Had to clean dusty dresser drawers before use. Hot water appeared only after sunny days - don’t know if there was immersion backup as we weren’t told, and didn’t learn about this system until we moved elsewhere. Description suggested it was close to the beach but the nearest beach, and shops, were a 30 minute walk away, with no convenient bus (our rental car was needed for a commute to work). Couldn’t get the small car we’d hired onto the advertised shady driveway due to the steep drop to the roadside, so when parked, the interior became blistering hot. Our impression, possibly mistaken, was that the property had been unused for a long time, as quite a few things didn’t work to begin with. On a positive note, the manager Cheryl was brilliant, sorted out what she could, and helped with local information. We were able to negotiate a partial refund with the owners, but this was still an expensive mis-match that might possibly have been avoidable.
