This is a gorgeous house that's better in-person than in the pictures. Definitely brings the wow factor! The layout worked so well for our group with the pool/yard area being a wonderful place to hang. There were a of instances of wear/use for such a new house but the property management team was responsive and addressed questions and issues really quickly. We had friends staying in another house nearby that did experience a security issue so we were grateful that Casa Laguna was equipped with an alarm system.

Pros:Great size for big family with nice layoutWell stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, Great laundry room!Property management responded quickly when we had issues!Easy walk to beach and all restaurants in townCons:Desperately needs a groundskeeper. Every night crabs die on the property creating a horrible odor attracting massive amount of bugs. Nobody wants to spend their vacation cleaning up dead carcasses daily. You also have to maintain the pool yourself, so again, a groundskeeper is needed. The lovely sitting area outside is unusable due to crab carcasses and bugs everywhere.Terrible sewage smell, especially in the master bedroom. Drainage is a problem in all bathrooms, which may be related to the sewage smell.There is construction going on all around the house and probably will be for years. Not the owner's fault, as this neighborhood is being built up. We suggest bringing earplugs or a sound machine to drown out the early morning construction noise.Bring umbrellas. Everything in town (beach, restaurants) is within walking distance, but if it's rainy season it will rain at some point each day.Wish the house was better stocked with beach supplies. There were 2 chairs (both very dirty and one rusted), 1 boogie board, and a sun tent. We spent a lot of to rent equipment daily.The outside bathroom is unusable. It hasn't been cleaned in a while and is full of bugs. It would have been nice to use when coming back from the beach, but it was just too dirty.
