Beautiful house, truly beautiful. My low star rating has to do with management. We had rats, not the small cute ones, the nice big tropical kind. They were in the house with us for a week. It is the tropics, this is bound to happen when a house is not properly cleaned. We found beef jerky under the couch to be the culprit, rightly so. Lots of holes in the screens. The manager, Yvonne, I just don't even know where to begin. For whatever reason she felt compelled to share a story about a terrible stench in her yard from a pig in a plastic bag covered in maggots. She said the word maggots so many times we both stopped eating our ice cream. I asked her to please stop with the story, she just kept going. While we were there we dealt with so many unfortunate events that it really just ruined a full week of the three weeks we rented. The safe batteries died, my wallet was locked in the safe for four days. The pool wasn't heated, as advertised. Ice machine was broken. The largest hairball ever lodged in the upstairs bathroom sink, I did finally call and ask someone to come take care of it. Toilets never stopped running. Infestation inside the house of knatts. Holes in most every screen, some large holes from the rats coming in, but mostly just big tears. I spent a morning duct taping the holes and tears in the screens, yay vacation! Lots of rat poop, lots. The first morning we were there we woke to an amazing amount of ants coming out from under the bread box on the counter, we moved the breadbox to find a half rotted, half eaten lizard. I wrote a letter to the owner, no money was refunded. I called the company we rented through, they did not return my calls. We did previously rent this house, winter of 2016, our experience was so lovely that we decided to rent for three weeks in the winter of 2017. Our 2017 trip was awful. The house had changed so much in a year, management was burnt out and rude. read more
