“To those who are accustomed to 4.5 - 5-star accommodations, this is not the place for you! We traveled with 2 couples and 3 teenagers. There is a small living room and Kitchen in one building, and In the motel-like building, there are 4 bedrooms. It is set up like a motel with individual rooms with individual keys and door locks. An upstairs larger room claimed to be a master suite, but there was a built-in, no closet, and no area to hang clothing. The mosquito screen didn't fully shut, so mosquitos bit one of our teenagers all night. The other similar "master-suite-like room" ("Citrine") had a brown mirror above the sinks in the bathroom, which made it impossible to put on make-up or know what you looked like walking out of the room; there was also no more than 5 minute of hot water in that shower. The other two rooms in the "motel" were small, and only one had windows. They were both very dark. The updated bathroom was in the room with small windows. It was updated with modern tiles and a new shower. However, the shower was not built properly and did not have a door, so the entire bathroom was filled with water every time anyone showered. It was a mess! Each room had its own key and was regularly locked out when the housekeeper left daily. The 5th bedroom was annexed below the house with an entrance outside the front door.
None of the bathrooms or closets had air conditioning, so to keep the rooms cooled, the hurricane shutters needed to remain closed during the day - eliminating ocean views. The house has virtually no shared space in the air conditioning. The small living room is stark, with way too many substantial black Amethyst rocks split in two to reveal the amethyst inside. The kitchen is long and narrow and the kitchen table is too right to comfortably sit around. The mosquito system didn't work outside, we lost power multiple times, and the water completely shut off for different reasons multiple times. The view is of an odd area of the ocean. The house was far from most of the best restaurants, and traffic was horrible - it took over an hour to get to dinner one night that was only 4 miles away. I recommend a house overlooking or on a beach for those who prefer enjoying an ocean view. I would not stay at this house again.”
