Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Steve P. Apr 3, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sunshine When we first came in there was a musty smell which continued if we didn't have the ceiling fans going and use febreze. The balcony door still doesn't lock which has been true for over a year. The bottom drawer o the island was missing the face and it looked like someone had started to fix it. The hand towels were very thin but not the other towels. there was a rip in the back bedroom bed cover. There was a pounding noise which seems to be coming from the bathroom. This is not new and comes and goes. But, the view is great, the location perfect for us to visit our relatives and the decorating is very nice.We have stayed here before as you can tell, and may stay again. The smell was the worst thing for my wife. For me it is the balcony door. ##### Steve P. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerri D.
