The location is great, close to the beach and to the shop/restaurants, and the 2 bicycles are a great perk. The house is very nice and clean and the backyard/pool area is super private and very nice and cared for. The reason for the low rating is that there are a few major inconveniences that could easily be adjusted. We arrived at night so the first thing was noticed was the lighting both inside and out. All of the lights were glaringly bright white lights like a department store. Unfortunately, outside the only light was a blinding floodlight which left little room to enjoy the amazing pool area after the sun went down. We actually went to the store and switched out a couple lamp bulbs for the week and that helped. Next were the alarms on the doors leading out to the pool. If for whatever reason you forget to press a button before going out to the pool or coming in from, a blaring alarm goes off. This isn't part of a security system because it's only attached to pool entrances. I contacted management to see if there was a way to disable it and there wasn't. Finally were the amenities. I know it's expected to provide your own comforts at vacation rentals but this didn't seem reasonable. You are privided 1 garbage bag. This is the first time ive gone away for a week and had to buy a container of garbage bags which there's no way to pay forward to the next guest. You get 1 roll of paper towels and toilet paper. No coffee filters, coffee, salt or pepper.
We had a great vacation and this island is our favorite spot to escape. This house in particular has great potential but these very simple changes would make a guests stay much more comfortable and convenient.
