A gem, but not quite perfect
A lovely house on a beautiful site. The views of the ocean are awe-inspiring and it was a wonderful space to spend Christmas with the family. On top of that, an idyllic beach is just steps from the back door. It merits being a high-end rental.
We did encounter issues during our stay, however. Hence 4 stars. The washing machine broke a few days into our stay. The caretaker did her best to get it fixed, but she had to order the part and the repairman had to fly in. Being on a remote island during the holidays slowed this down, and the repair didn’t get done. This was a serious inconvenience, as we had to wash clothes by hand.
Also, the coffee maker stopped working. And you could smell the septic system in the master bathroom, which was gross.
Another note: The home sits at the end of a long and very bumpy road traveled by golf cart (the primary means of transport here). We’re familiar with the island, so we knew what we were getting into, but it turned out to be more of a drawback than anticipated. Initially, the road was an adventure and a callback to the way Green Turtle used to be. By the end of the stay, it was a PITA. It affected our activities. On New Year’s Eve, for example, we ended up staying home because no one wanted to deal with the road. It was especially hard on my elderly parents. If we stay again, we would likely rent a boat for our entire stay. This would make it easier to get around the island, but it still wouldn’t solve the problem of traveling at night.
