Great Vacation

This review will detail the good and the not so good:
First, the good:
I was soooo worried about what to expect, with internet fraud and all....but when we arrived, what a wonderful surprise it was.
The pictures on the website were exactly as the house looks.
We had a family reunion (2 couples, 1 adult, and 2 kids) and it was wonderful. The house was clean, spacious, modern, and comfortable. The beach was steps away from the beach. The beach was clean and clear. Just be sure to bring water socks as it is a bit rocky by the edge- consistent with the southeast beaches of PR. The house is fully stocked with all the necessities. There was a tv, music, dvd player, bbq grill, outdoor furniture to relax on- all in working condition. We had a wonderful time and truly recommend this home to anyone. The best part is walking out and being on the beach. As I cooked every day, I watched the ocean, which was therapeutic....and the night time views are unbelievable- magical!
I know you will create your own magical memories there as I did with my family.
The not so good:
Administratively, the process to rent the beach house was frustrating; lots of phone tag, and many missed emails. The noise from the main road when sleeping at night was bothersome to some guests. My final "not so good" comment is that I paid with PayPal and when I received my deposit refund, a fee was taken out, which was bothersome because I purposely paid using my bank account and NOT a credit card to AVOID this fee, but when the deposit was returned a fee was charged. I called the owner, but it was never resolved.
Owner's Response: Thank you for the review. We are happy to hear you had a great time. Pay Pal charges a flat $9.00 fee for some cash accounts, but not all. As promised, I am looking into why this is. I inquired as to what is going on with the excessive traffic noise lately and was informed by my Property Mgr of a traffic detour due to construction being finished on a tunnel two towns over. The tunnel is finished and all should be getting back to normal. We have a sandy beach, but there is a large coral reef out there and small stones, shells and pieces of coral can be washed to the waters edge, water socks are in a basket on the porch for all guests who wish to use them.
