Tired property, Nice host, Great location

Unfortunately, we had several issues with this tired property, The home owners who live on the property tried to remedy the situation unfortunately we had to leave 5 days ahead of our scheduled departure. They were nice enough to refund us. The Tiki bar was nice and shared with several friendly renters. The dock was nice but unfortunately so many dock lines and full slips made it difficult to fish off of. FYI no dishwasher. My mistake for not catching it on listing.
