They responded so quickly we had an issue with power going out ( which it did in several parts of the island not just their location) and they kept me up to date with the restoration and asked to make sure we were okay.. highly recommend them for your next vacay

The location is great. Right in the middle of all the entertainment/food/bars. The property was very clean. The host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. The property had a lot of stairs, which you should know in advance if you are traveling with anyone needing assistance. We spent a whole week over Thanksgiving. Here are some of things that we weren't pleased with: - The front door. It was very loosely secured. You could almost "bump" it open. Just seems to need an upgrade on the lock/door -The oven didn't work properly. It was very dated and the knobs had been so worn down, you couldn't identify which setting it was actually on. Broil? Bake? 450? 150? You don't know. We told them about this early on and was told they would fix it. it was not fixed during our visit. -The photos didn't match the property. There was no large kitchen table as pictured. There was no foosball table as pictured. While the decor was nice, it just didn't match the photos.

The loft was a great place to stay. Very clean. Vacay reps were extremely helpful and nice. Only suggestion would be for the owner to figure out how to install a half bath on the first floor of the loft. The small utility closet would be ideal!! Other than that…we plan on retiring for another stay.

Awesome spot on the strand. Walkable to everything. Balcony was great, and the place was clean. Only minor gripe (bc i need noise when i sleep) is theres no tv in the bedrooms, which i get given the loft style, so bring a device if you need something in that way. Great place regardless.

Hi Kristen, So glad you had a wonderful stay, and this is great feedback. I am going to get with the owner to add a few noise machines in the bedrooms so this is covered. Jen CEO Vacay Time
