"The house was a little difficult to find . Upon arrival We noticed the pool was dirty . The house is not I front of the beach and the beach nearby is not a beach you want to spend time on. Toilet was dirty , towels smelled musty . There were not extra toilet paper rolls which makes me wonder if they even came to check the house before we came in. They did send someone to clean the pool the next morning but the house was not guest-ready at all. I would not recommend this place, for the money...

I was repeatedly told I did not have a reservation although I was showing them the receipt and reservation. They said they did not work with Apps and that they only rented to...
