The house was great for our quick weekend stay for a wedding on the island. It seemed like it would also be great for a longer, summer beach trip.

The power outage at the house was not handled properly by the host. Someone from maintenance should’ve came to the house to make sure that we were safe. It is not my responsibility to turn off or turn on someone else’s breaker box.
