I struggle to write a poor review for this house since Sharon, the owner was so helpful during our stay. We stayed here the in the summer of 2015. The house is fine. You have all the amenity's you need. However, looking at the updated house as Sharon says, I wonder what has been updated unless there might be new counters in the kitchen, which sorely is in need of updates, especially new cupboards that are original to the house and had tiny black bugs on the counters constantly present, likely living in the wood. We had only one problem with the water and electricity being shut down for a portion of one day when we came home from the beach. Sadly, the day we lost the power was also a day that we were robbed in this house, so it was even scarier to not have phone service. That is not the worst of it. It was the second time someone broke in to the house. I am not sure why we stayed around the first time. We ended up leaving and renting in a gated resort but with a higher price tag. It was worth it! Sharon was kind enough to refund the last few days we left but not the entire week. The reason i am writing this one year later is that I noticed that in the "update", the glass sliding doors are still present. This is where the break in occurred. I was told after our visit that the problem was rectified. That door is so old that even replacing a lock would not keep someone out. This experience really ruined our vacation. Luckily it was on the tale end of a 3 week island hoping vacation and not in the beginning. It sounds like other visitors had much better stays than we did. It could have been a one time deal and we were the recipients of bad luck. All I can say is the area is sketchy, the house is still not safe, but the home is doable. Sorry :(
