The Positives:
The property's location is absolutely perfect. The kitchen is very well-equipped with all the necessary utensils and cookware, so you don’t need to bring anything from home. We also appreciated having a designated parking spot, and the tennis court was open for use.
The Negatives:
Communication: Before booking, responses from both the host or booking partners were prompt. After we booked, however, communication dropped to zero. I sent 2–3 emails with photos showing the filthy balcony (which had meat pieces on the floor) and the uncleaned BBQ, but never received a reply. When I tried calling the emergency or general phone number, the system forced me to send an email instead of allowing me to speak to anyone.
Surprise Fees: A major red flag occurred immediately after the cancellation window closed—the owner suddenly insisted on either a security deposit or buy insurance. This additional cost was not mentioned anywhere at the time of booking, which felt deceptive.
Amenities & Cleanliness: The pool was closed during our stay, and the entertainment room was full of dust. If you are traveling with kids, I highly recommend taking the insurance, as some items in the unit are very fragile and require careful handling.
Overall:
A fantastic location and a well-stocked kitchen are let down by poor communication, hidden costs, and unclean balcony.
