Summary: Overall the house was fine. Great location, walking distance to ferry and beach. Plenty of room. Getting the apartment above the garage was a great decision for me and my wife. Pool was nice. Layout was nice; we were able to entertwin easily for 8 people. Shawna was great! Did a great job coordinating our excursions and making restaurant recommendations. She was timely in her responses and very helpful. The ACs in the bedrooms were great. Housekeeping did a great job midweek. Wildlife around landscape was fun...iguanas, monkeys, squirrels, whip scorpions, lizards, birds. The house is dated with some issues like lights burnt out in the house and throughout landscape. Pool lights didnt work and one even became disconnected leaving a live wire in the pool. Patio furniture needs to be updated and changed very ratty and worn. The washer wasnt fully functioning...could only wash on hot. I didnt like that there was only one set of keys for the house. We had to lock the kids in at night while we stayed up in the apartment. Kids couldnt unlock from the inside since they needed a key to unlock the main door. (For the record i wake up at 530am. Not fair to wake the kids that early to let me into the house) Overall we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.
