Excellent beach vacation spot!
We were a group of 4 adults and 2 kids. The showstopper here is the beach. The house is a 1 minute walk from the beach. The beach was beautiful, clean, sandy, nice sloped entry to the water and not too wavy. You could walk out for quite a distance and it was only waist-deep. Great for kids. If you want to go to 5th Ave and the main tourist area, it’s about a 20 minute walk. If you’re not into walking, there are plenty of taxis available. We like to walk so it didn’t bother us. There are a couple of resorts nearby. Music and party noise definitely carries over from there or maybe from surrounding houses at night. But generally by about midnight it was quiet.
We had a nice time at the house. The housekeeper, Rosa, was very nice and available to help with whatever we needed. We were pretty self sufficient and only had her cook a couple of breakfasts for us, but they were delicious. We shopped for our own food and she prepared it.
The wifi was good. There is AC in each room if needed (we didn’t need it because there’s a good breeze.) The house is not a luxury home by any extent but it has what you need to have a good vacation at a good price point. Beach gear, towels, a serviceable kitchen…. What more do you want? The main bedroom is upstairs and has a lovely walk-out to the balcony. The two smaller bedrooms are downstairs on the ground with a small washroom between. Though the washroom was kept extremely clean thanks to Rosa’s hard work, it is a bit dingy and poorly lit. The pool, outdoor shower, and outdoor lounging space was a great bonus. We would take a quick plunge in the pool to cool off after walking home from dinner in the evening. All in all, it was a good spot for us.
