The place is lovely – just like the photos. We stayed for one month in February 2018.
We had a unit with a balcony overlooking the airport runway. Although, the noise can bother some people – we were not annoyed. The planes fly from about 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. If you are out most of the time, you won’t really notice. If you plan to stay in most of the time, it may become a bother.
Ask for a unit with a balcony – you will enjoy it, as there is no other way to be outside and the place is small.
The pool and gym are not like the photos. The pool was dirty and we never went in it. The gym is also dirty, old and very hot (as the air conditioning does not work). There are great gyms and yoga classes within about a 10 minute walk – and those are much better options. The beach is also about a 10 minute walk away.
Tips for future guests:
1. The cooking supplies are very limited. If you plan on cooking a lot, this may not be your place. We only made coffee, breakfast and a few lunches, so it was doable.
2. The place needs one good non-stick pan, one good knife (the knives were terrible + could barely cut a lime), a can opener, one good spatula, one bowl, one measuring cup, a beer bottle opener, a corkscrew, etc. Even a blender would have been nice to have.
3. The toaster did not work
4. All of the other VRBO places we have stayed have a "pay it forward" program. So all of the leftover non-perishables (water, spices, oil, vinegar, mustard, left over bits of liquor, Kleenex, paper towels, coffee, etc) are left behind by each renter. This provides everyone with a richer experience. We purchased 150 coffee filters, the minimum amount we could purchase, we used 28 + left the rest --what happens to it and everything we left? You will need to purchase everything you need, as the kitchen and pantry are completely bare.
5. You will need to buy bottled water. The unit has no water dispenser or a water pump for the large bottles, so it is a bit of a pain.
6. The on-site staff are nice, but not helpful.
All that being so, we had a great stay. For the price, it is clean, modern and is close to everything you need. We never rented a golf cart and were just fine walking everywhere.
