Great view, but outdated and in need of TLC
We gave this property 3 stars. The view is fantastic, and we appreciated the host being reachable—even though off-island—and Christine’s (on-island manager) prompt response to the issues we encountered.That said, the property felt very dated (think 1980s/1990s) with several maintenance problems. The house phone and ceiling fan weren’t working, and the master bedroom’s bathroom had an unpleasant odor of urine until Christine managed to address it with a thorough bleach clean the next day. Still, we never returned to using that bathroom as it never felt "clean".No a/c in common spaces where one spends most of their time so prepping for the evening was often met with sweating it out in the hot room.Front door has broken glass panes so mosquitos were a constant nuisance. There were also cobwebs on the ceiling rafters (place needs a good dusting) and the pool area was less than ideal, remaining in shade most of the day. The pool furniture was moldy and didn’t seem sturdy enough to safely support weight. Additionally, while we understood there was no dryer, it would have been helpful if that detail was mentioned in the amenities as other guests may overlook this detail. Just seemed some things were omitted in description that most would appreciate learning about beforehand.Overall, we love St. Barts, but this was one of our less comfortable stays on the island. With some updates and a bit more attention to detail in the listing, this property could be a great find.
