Unbeatable location with great beach, safe waves, wildlife, within walking distance to restaurants
This was an ideal location and the property served us well. Each of the three bedrooms has a separate entrance from the outside, so our family with two kids split up the adults to make this work. We loved the outdoor shower in the Master Bedroom in the main house. We often had monkeys and iguanas passing thru the yard, and beach walks provided endless enjoyment of the hermit crabs trading shells. This part of the beach is a favourite for gentle surfing waves without the crowds that are down at the other end. We rented boards and brought our boogie boards. We could walk to restaurants easily along the 2km beach. At night, the property was beautifully lit with outdoor string lights.
We can't give it a 5* because there were some maintenance and breakdown issues while we were there. We tested the sofa bed in the back house. It was badly stained and the mattress and springs were shot, so we deemed it unusable. When we arrived, this unit also had a badly leaking air conditioner, and repairmen were onsite for more than half a day replacing it. There were burnt-out ceiling lights and 2 or 3 ceiling fans that weren't working. In the Master Bedroom, there was a big floor fan to compensate. The dishwasher broke down and it took more than 5 days to be repaired. Jonathan was easy to communicate with and responsive. While all mechanical things have a lifespan, for a luxury rental, we would've expected lights/fans to be in working order when we arrived for 12 days. We'd stay here again.
