This was our 12th time staying in a villa in the Caribbean so are familiar with what to expect. This house in Bequia was a disappointment and from the website we had expected it to the the highlight of our trip. The house was not ready for Rental. Here is a short list of Items that should of been dealt with before our arrival.
Master Bathroom light did not work - this was unacceptable to have someone occupy this house with this not working - you couldn't use this bathroom after dark for sure and it was dull during the day. The biggest disappointment was you knew of this in May 2009 and did nothing.
Umbrella –no shade -we couldn’t enjoy your deck because there was no shade if needed. There were two umbrellas in the storage room I asked if we could use one and was told – NO - and we couldn't set them up as we could find no stands.
Dishwasher did not work - again another item in the house that did not work. When I’m on vacation I don’t expect to wash my dishes and pots and pans.
Large lamp in main area of the house with no light shade on it just a bulb -When we walked past the sofa at night time we had to be careful not to burn our self on the hot light bulb and it just looked ugly.
Toaster in Kitchen - Only heats up on one side (and no it didn't have a bagel button).
Spider cobwebs - On the Kitchen fixtures - Cleaning should have taken place before our arrival.
Spare Bedroom Fan - Fan was all rusty and the front cover fell off and could not be put back on. We accepted that this villa had no air conditioning so we were counting on fans when sleeping.
Outside table -The outside table is badly weathered. Needed to be re varnished - We never sat at it as we thought we might get a wood sliver.
Linens in Kitchen were questionable - the few linens appeared to have be washed many times and well used.
Pool Light not working - Again would not have been a big deal alone but this is just one more example of an item not working with no plans to fix it as it has been broke for some time we're told.
Dead bugs in light above the stove - If you have someone cleaning the house before paying customers arrive then the house should be cleaned.
I should not have to stay in someone’s dirty house.
There were items under the main coffee table, under the counters and around the counter in the Kitchen not cleaned.
Spare bedroom plug does not work - I plugged a fan into the spare bedroom and the outlet did not work. In fact the plug would only go in half way.
All Chrome fixtures were rusty - it appears the house has been let go and the chrome fixtures are rusting especially in the master bathroom. Salt air from the ocean rusts metal fixtures and constant cleaning is necessary.
Spare bedroom toilet running on and uses water.
I was constantly checking to make sure the spare bedroom toilet was working correctly. When the toilet is flushed it does not stop running I would take the top off and adjust the linkage to be sure it had stopped and wasn’t using water as we understand rainwater is used in Bequai.
As you can see from our list we were VERY DISAPPOINTED with this villa. We paid a lot of money to stay at this well advertised villa.
