casa del mar

Great view and great location but we encountered the following issues on a recent stay: Several lights not working due to blown globes and no spares, lack of cooking utensils (no tongs no decent frypan) power was off for 6 hours and we were only advised by the neighbour just before it went off ( and off course no reduction in rental costs although we had no power no water and could not shower etc) Smoke alarm had flat battery and was beeping continuously so we removed this and put it outside so we could sleep, BBQ had no gas so gas bottle was purchased (we were reimbursed for this) BBQ is faulty and burner stays on at all times and can't be adjusted (safety hazard when lighting due to gas build up) although our friends booked this through Marion Bay rentals it was far from a good experience with several calls and tense moments to get bond etc returned to correct bank account. We have stayed there before as we like the location etc but this stay was not up to the standard expected for the cost.
