8/10 Good
"Loved the private beach and fresh breakfast. Our balcony had a lot of dead bugs in the corners but was still very nice for enjoying the view. The game room only has a handful of games in it. That was OK, but don't let the mention of a game room be the reason for your stay."

"I like the property, my only complaint was that it was to sterile. Like no real thought went into the space. It definitely was clean, but could have used some more pictures, rugs and a dresser and TV in the bedroom. It just really felt sterile for that amount of money. I don’t think I would stay again."
