The host was great at communication. The property was good, on the small side. WiFi and TV worked great. Great location to the beach and nature walks. Downsides were limited drawers for storing clothes in the bedrooms, washer and dryer loud, dryer took multiple cycles to dry, no microwaveable plates in the kitchen (only a few bowls were micro-safe), master bed mattress is worn and rolls you to the middle, master toilet gave us some trouble flushing but we made it work, master bath has broken vanity drawers, hall shower needs caulking around faucet handle, and bottom of oven hasn’t been cleaned in a minute-smoked when we used it. Beware of the neighborhood “police” - they walk around multiple times a day putting notes/violation notices on vehicles who are not abiding by “their” parking rules - not parking in assigned spots, vehicle to close or hanging over the sidewalk, oversized vehicles, etc. They will take pictures of your vehicle too. Saw them in the middle of the day and around midnight. Although they didn’t put any notices on our vehicles, we saw them do this to others, and they did take pictures of one of our vehicles. We also watched them accost a group in the parking lot just as they were unloading their vehicle - telling them they had parked in an “owners” spot. I don’t believe this is a reflection of the host, though. The host advised us beforehand of being limited to only 2 spots.

The stay was nice. Accommodations were good. The dryer did not dry real good and had to be turned on twice to dry the towels we had washed. The spare bathroom had an issue with the outlet. The lights went out but were quickly turned back on after some high winds in the area. The chair in the living room was questionable to sturdiness. It felt broken in the middle. Overall a good place to stay for the money. Everyone was quick to respond if I had a question or needed something. Great location to food and beach access.

As you may know, Mermaid Den air conditioning was not working so we were then given Casa Azul.

The condo was very clean, decently stocked kitchen, king size bed & pillows uncomfortable.Pool was nice but the weather was too cold to use. No closets in 2 spare bedrooms. Overall pretty nice stay
