Overview:
We enjoyed the location of the property and of course the wonderful waters of the Exumas. The Pier was great for our boat rental. House was spacious, clean and comfortable. Property management was responsive and friendly. I don't ever like to leave any type of a negative review, unfortunately, this time I feel I need to.
Positive:
- good location
- house is spacious and comfortable
- stocked well with kitchen items and linens
- great dock for boat
Negative:
- Septic Tank was full upon arrival, it backed up in a tub while one of us were showering the day before the outage. We were not able to use any water in the house because of drainage. It had to be pumped the next day and caused a foul odor throughout the house.
- Lost power 2 different days (blown transformer). The electric company did fix it, but we slept in the heat 2 nights straight. While we understand it's common for power to be out unexpectedly, we weren't expecting almost 12 hours without power on the first outage.
- The water well is electric and without power we had no water. We couldn't take showers, flush, wash dishes, or clothes the last two days, due to water well not working. Having a generator to at least supply power to the well and ceiling fans should be a must.
- Railing on back porch is not safe (2 people almost fell off porch from leaning against the rail by BBQ pit)
- Air Conditioning doesn't cool all rooms sufficiently. Only the living area and one bedroom cooled well.
- Only 1 Garbage Can outside. No pickup all week. Had to store garbage in garage the entire week.
The last three days we were only able to use water enough for two showers, a few flushes, and the beginning of a cycle of laundry.
We've never left a home without cleaning it, taking out the trash or throwing a load of towels in the wash before we leave. Unfortunately, because of the lack of garbage pickup, water and electricity we weren't able to do any of those things.
While the beginning of the stay was great, the last three days were not.
