Disappointed by the Condition Despite Prime Location
I've rented over a dozen vacation homes, and unfortunately, this was by far the worst experience. While the house is in a prime location, which is likely why it continues to be booked, the condition of the property was unacceptable, especially for the price point.None of the sliding doors closed or locked properly. The doors were not flush with the wall or sealed correctly, which not only made me feel unsafe but also raised serious structural concerns. When I contacted the host about the main sliding door not locking, I was told to "keep playing with a pin" that they use as the primary lock, a makeshift solution that did nothing to ease my concerns about security.The downstairs bathroom was even more alarming. It had a drop ceiling with visible water stains and open gaps. It was clearly not up to code, and it felt unsanitary and unsafe.As someone born and raised in Puerto Rico, I was excited to come back and enjoy a relaxing stay. Instead, I was embarrassed to host my family in a house that felt neglected and poorly maintained. This home has potential due to its location, but until major updates and repairs are made, I cannot recommend it.
