Could be really great but some major issues
Place appears as advertised. Check in was a little different because you have to contact the house keeper who lives in a small casita right by the driveway. Arrived and texted her and waited for her to open the gate and she gives you house keys and a brief tour of the house. House location is awesome and Elsa (the housekeeper) keeps it tidy but there is a major cockroach infestation. I texted the house owner or manager thru vrbo and he said he would have someone come look at it. No one ever came. There was roach droppings and roach eggs in the kitchen. We had local friends over one evening and the electricity went out twice in an hour, both times when the lights came on, the ladies screamed bec there were roaches everywhere. The second main issue was the beds/pillows. The pillows did not smell clean. The next day my wife asked Elsa to clean the sheets/pillowcases. Afterwards, they still did not smell good and my wife figured out that the pillows smelled really strong, so perhaps they need to be washed or replaced? Both downstairs rooms had the same issue. The upstairs bed and pillows smelled clean. This brings me to another point. There is a washer/dryer but you have to ask Elsa to do laundry for you. My wife does not like letting others wash some of her nicer clothing items, so we ended up never using it. Elsa is spectacular and we left her a nice gratuity. Take care of roaches & bed/pillow smell and this place is awesome.
