Everything was great! The whole house was nicely up to date and clean! Had a great porch area to sit. Kitchen was great size. Only complaint I have is host telling me that there was not a bunk bed in one of the rooms that it was two queen beds and had to find other ways to arrange sleeping situations

Avari response:

We hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing getaway!

The host was incredibly responsive, and the location was fantastic! The house was spacious and comfortable. However, we were surprised by the abundance of mosquitoes. It’s essential to bring plenty of bug spray and wear long pants and shirts underneath the house and during the walk to the beach. Despite this minor inconvenience, we had a wonderful time and would definitely return.
