“Perfect location”
Right up the street from the local hangout, you can walk 2-3 minutes and be on the beach or 2-3 minutes the other direction to the grocery store. It is a “no frills” house as most of them … More

Response from the owner Judith, I'm sorry that the house didn't live up to your expectations. I agree that talking politics is never a good idea, Bruno should have never gone OUT of his way to drive you to the market since you didn't have a car (what a terrible host). There were some issues that needed repair, and Bruno ordered the parts to fix them but it wasn't soon enough for you. We made an exception and allowed you to bring your "emotional support" dog, which peed all over the house, rugs, which we had to throw away when you left. This house isn't a luxury rental, we never advertise for that. But it is an amazing location, and according to the numerous positive reviews we have a clean, lovely place to stay. To each their own, we did our best to respond to your daily phone calls and requests. Sincerely, Nancy and Bruno

This Orchid Lane house was a stone's throw away from the Caribbean. We often got up early and walked to the Malecon with our cup of coffee to watch the sunrise from the dock. The bed was the most… More

Response from the owner Thanks so much for your feedback, I'm so sorry that you didn't enjoy the house as much as all of our other guests! This is the first review that we have gotten less than 4-5 stars, so I wanted to take a minute to respond. It's true that we don't have TV, which we are very up front about and don't list as an available amenity. This was a conscious decision, as the island is so beautiful and has so much to offer, we felt that TV was an unnecessary distraction. We DO have high speed internet, for those who wish to live stream TV on their computers, or for urgent news access. We also offer a huge DVD collection to use with a laptop. In regards to the bathroom door, there absolutely is a door, with a 3 inch space at the bottom of the door, and 8-10 inches at the top. This is actually being changed so that the door will extend all the way from the ceiling and floor, and will completely fill in any gaps in that separation. This is the first time it has been a problem for anyone, but we ARE going to fix this in the next few weeks, so I appreciate the feedback! I hope despite these 2 issues you were able to enjoy your stay on the island, we really do care that all our guests are happy and comfortable!
