For $500/night I expected better. Apartment was rundown. The door looked like it had been broken open and hastily repaired. The carpets were stained. The tub drain was missing hardware. The beach view was great, the bed was comfortable with adequate pillows. Did not use the kitchen. Although the refrigerator water and ice in the door did not work. Do you inspect the rental villas? If so, then you’re negligent. If not, you are also negligent. There was construction, impeding parking and access to the building. At least the elevator worked. But really, certainly not up to standards one might expect for the price. I would never stay again.

The townhouse I stayed in was in a great location to the tennis courts, which is the reason we were there. It was very clean, well stocked, and the beds were very comfortable! I loved the owners touch of their kids pictures there. Very sweet.

I called numerous time to get soap and shampoo and they gave us only one time a soap, 1 shampoo and 1 conditioner???!!!the next door neighbors had a dog, barking… we went to Sanctuary hotel bar and they lost our credit card!!! The security came looking under table and chairs and couch and couldn’t find it!! After couple hours they called saying was under the couch!! Really??!! Horrible experience!!

Less than expected

The villa was very outdated with very old decor and odd furniture. The bathtub wouldn't hold water, the coffee maker didn't work, the included bikes were broken or had flat fires, the curtain rods fell off when adjusting the curtains.
