Weekend Getaway
This Casita was so close to our family and made visiting with ease. We had pleasant time relaxing and catching up with family. Didn't plan to BBQ but conveniently everything was available for us to do that. We also loved the kitten that has made the property her home. We are already booked to go again lol!

There was no hot water in the shower depsite the owner allegedly making various adjustments. Owner recommemnded turning on bathroom sink's cold water, so that shower would warm. The property is advertised as having a full kitchen. There is no oven, dishwasher or electric coffee maker. The property is advertised as RUSTIC. The general neighborhood appears to be a dumping ground. There are old tires, vehicles, garbage, etc, throughout the neighborhood. There are numerous loose/wild dogs that roam the area. There are numerous un-enclosed electric conduit boxes in the interior and exterior of the property. The breakbox was unsecured and open to the elements. There was garbage in the kitchen and bathroom garbage cans upon my arrival. There were dirty dishes left on the counter. There were several cups/ clear jars on the counter that had fluid and food in them. The property was litered with debris. Scrap wood, broken swings, plastic buckets/pots. There was a broken gas grill (missing 2 wheels) underneath the decking. The listing stated there was a gym on site. No gym was located on teh property. The owners stated that there was a "Total Gym" on the property that was folded up and put away. We were to stay for 2 weeks. We left after 4 days. A check of Google Earth shows images of the area from back in 2011-12. It appears that since then, there has been a major disaster or two (flooding/hurricane/etc).

The host mentioned needing clean up outside. Stove was not my favorite and shower too small for us. Other than that it was a comfortable stay.
