Not as expected

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love this property but it wasn’t the same experience we had on our last stay in 2021. The biggest disappointment was the lack of a water view that it had previously. The mangroves were overgrown so there was very little water visible, the photos on the listing were the original ones and did not reflect this. Honestly, we would not have chosen this house had we known that. Also, the pool and spa heater did not work properly so we weren’t able to use it for 1 week which was frustrating. The pool deck is very small and the 4 loungers that were there in 2021 were missed. There was no way to layout and relax in the sun.
