When we arrived at the property we had to climb across another boat to get to the boat we rented. This was never mentioned in the listing and is very unsafe. Had we known this up front we would have never booked the property. There were also very steep stairs in to the property with no handrail, which was also not mentioned in the listing. Overall the conditions made us feel very unsafe and we decided that we could not stay at this property. ##### Jules S.
