The property was exactly as pictured.
Positives:
Safe area, walking distance to shops/restaurants on the Malecon, very quiet, extremely immaculate, spacious, full size washer/dryer, A/C in all rooms
Could be Seen as a Negative:
You have to call the property transportation van to pick you up to take you to the dock to ride the ferry which leaves every 30 min. (15 min. past the hour and 45 min. before the next hour). You just have to plan your excursions knowing that the first ferry doesn't leave the property until 7:15 a.m. in the morning, and the last ferry leaves the marina at 10:30 p.m.
You also have to take the property van to get to the condos on the property. That's where the heated pool is for the community, the golf course, and the two restaurants. The condos are about a mile away from the homes (casas) on the property. Families with small children would most likely prefer to stay at the condos, because of the close proximity to the pool and the restaurants. We enjoyed the quiet area where the homes are and the spacious floor plan of this property. You can ride the bikes on the property or rent a golf cart, but we only saw bikes near the condos.
The living room couch was very worn and the two damaged wicker chairs need to be replaced.
Beds/AC/Bathrooms:
This property sleeps 12, but 10 comfortably. It has 2 master bedrooms each with a king bed and full sized bathroom, a 3rd bedroom with 2 sets of bunk beds (4 beds total) with a full size bathroom next to the 3rd bedroom. It also has a small casita in the front courtyard of the property, with a queen size bed and a bathroom w/shower. The casita is accessible from a sliding glass door in the courtyard of the property, but it's not located within the main home. We didn't use the casita. A small portable A/C system is located in each of the bedrooms, and a main A/C system cools the living room and the kitchen. The weather ranged in the high 80s when we were there, so we definitely needed to use the AC throughout the house. The couch is a pullout sofa bed for 2 small children, but wouldn't be comfortable for 2 adults.
The backyard is mostly sand with a volleyball net, some older furniture, and it overlooks the backyards of other homes. The bay/ocean view is behind the homes directly across the street from the property. The bay appeared to be non-swimmable.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay! Ruben, the property manager, was quick to respond via text.
