This accommodation for the price asked should have been 5*
The apt is nicely furnished & decorated. High-end bathroom, well appointed, but no hair-dryer. Comfortable bed and linens. Hangers in the wardrobe.
Great views from the picture window to the ocean. But, if the primary attraction is the view from a large window, it should be clean, not dirt spattered, with many cobwebs and dead insects on the outside.
The provided kitchen equipment looked like rejects from a second hand shop. 3 mismatched wine glasses, 6 odd coffee mugs, some dirty, 4 assorted tumblers. 4 place crockery set chipped, cracked with crackled glazing.
I don't expect fine bone china and crystal glasses, but non-chipped plates, wine and champagne glasses should be provided at this price point.
The pots and pans were unusable. In very poor condition, scratched, dented, non-stick coating peeling off. Cooking utensils same, broken and very worn, some dirty. It was impossible to self cater.
Given this accommodation is listed as being "a home away from home", these issues could be fixed for less than the cost of a night's stay.
Frogs and mosquito's inhabit the blocked storm water drain across the carport, next to the bedroom window. The frogs did not stop croaking all night. Bedroom window closed made no difference. The noise was unbearable.
After a sleepless night, and unable to cook a breakfast the next morning, we departed, forgoing our 2nd night.
