Anonymous Review from Airbnb

March 2026

Once my family and I arrived we had a very difficult time trying to get in the house because the lock kept cutting off before we could get entire code entered. Tried calling the host and stayed on the phone a hour and no one answered. Then when we walked in the place seemed a little run down, fresh looking paint and patches on the walls. The paint appeared to be covering up something like mold. Found mold on the air vents, around the showers and walls. Tried messaging the host when we noticed all of this and no answer. When the host sent me the check out instructions I replied asking for an update about the mold and got no reply. I was able to contact Airbnb and they were very helpful to get a solution to the problem. I would definitely not recommend Acari Management Properties to anyone.

All the amenities , nice balcony with good view over pool and spa, no traffic (dead end road) and 2 -3 minute walk from the door to sticking your feet in the water.
