We were moved to Cato Malo due to my initial rental was pulled from the program by the owner, months after I had paid the rental fee. This is a great place and location; however, we experienced some let downs with the following. The floors were not moped, there was sand on the floor, Swimming pool was dirty, (we checked in on Saturday and a pool guy was there on Monday) the overhead lights in one of the bedrooms did not work, had to use a lamp, the living room furniture was dated and uncomfortable. The microwave would run but would not heat up what was placed in there. Biggest problem for me was the damaged fishing pier. This was our annual Father's Day gathering with the family and fishing was on top of our list.

During a storm the dock was submerged and broken up. It seemed less taken care of than the other properties. Be careful!!

The home had a great view and was very peaceful. The fridge would need fixed not having ice or cold water was rough. Having to email the company the first day with a list of broken/things needing “brought to their attention” was not a good start. The check in process with the door code was a nightmare but they did address that quickly.

Great house and floor plan, a ton of space! Outdoors could use a little maintaining (pool, chairs, lounging area) but the house is beautiful!
