Ratings and reviews
2.0 / 10.0
I am extremely disappointed with this property. The place was not clean at all to the point where we couldn’t continue our 4 night stay after the 1st night. The pictures look great but the accuracy of the listing is not. There is no AC when the listing says there is. Says you can swim but the tide isn’t in most of the day. We contacted the property manager about how dirty the place was and they sent someone to clean after we had packed up and left. I asked for a 2 night refund and the cleaning fee and they provided $100. Save yourself the headache I went through and continue to go through and find another place.
