Reviewer Comments:
This house has tons of potential. The location and view is great. If the owners would invest $500 it would be spectacular. Unfortunately the small things really hurt. Kitchen is not “stocked with everything you would need”. There were 6 forks, minimum pans and the grill is small and a dirty mess. Don’t say this place sleeps 13 if only 6 can eat. Go to IKEA, buy some silverware, plates and pans...and buy a Weber grill. Now for the real problem. The description says there is wireless internet. This is technically true. I tested the speed on 3 different sights, never got above 500Kbs... that is Kilo, not Mega. OK, so I understand that internet on Bolivar is slow, but they also chose streaming TV. This means that I got the error messages the whole weekend, “Live TV requires a network connection”. If only there was a worldwide constellation of satellites that could beam TV directly to your house anywhere (invest in Dish) This was more frustrating because weather wasn’t great so we were inside more than we would have liked. Tried to get some work done also, but couldn’t even download email attachments. If internet is critical (i.e. working vacation) bring your own hotspot. Finally we reserved linens for an additional fee. Not sure why lines are not included in the use of the beds. We received a call 12 hours prior and were told to bring our own linens... be prepared for that one. The location, view and beautiful house helps make up for a lot of problems here. Just frustrating at $500+ a night to deal with so many small issues.
