My wife submitted this review to Trip Advisor. The owner has since canceled the ad. It's now on airbn. Beware! Beware! Unsafe dangerous s--- hole!

Pro: Kathya (cook and house) 2 thumbs up!
Cons: rules signs everywhere, 3 rooms w/tiny AC, 2 rooms no AC, no cots, filthy broken plastic furniture, USB finally after 2 days, broken antique tv, no satellite or cable, insects inside, 2 spoons, no microwave, no seats on toilets, when sitting on main bathroom toilet a person has to put feet over shower parapet, 6 towels for everyone, tiny stereo, kitchen stove does not work properly(Kathya had to cook some food on the grill, because the stove would not burn hot enough). Trash all over yard, These amenities are items the owner was grasping at straws trying to improve the ad: private fishing lake/river (no), ocean views, waterfront, water views Duh, the house is a oceanfront house. All of the of above items were inconsequential in our decision to leave after only 2 1/2 days into 8 day booking. When we arrived the pool looks like it hadn't been cleaned for weeks. Ezequiel(pool boy and garden) told us that there was a broken pipe. The next morning he ran the pump all day and the water cleared somewhat. He never cleaned the filter or the bottom or sides of the pool. The next day he didn't clean or run the pump. The pool water was never clear and the sides and bottom were slimy. Our party consisted of 12 adults and 4 little kids. All of the kids and some adults spent a lot time in the pool. One is suffering an ear infection. While eating dinner the second night the owner's dog was chased away from the table by my husband. The dog left. After dinner we were sitting around the table and the dog returned. He received several pats on the back and my brother even removed several ticks from him because he was loaded with them. My husband whistled at him and he came to him. My husband petted him then the dog growled and nipped at him. He then left. The next day the dog was running around and no problem. After lunch one three year old boy who was standing still by the table was bit by the dog with no provocation. The boy's father and my husband went after the dog. In the meantime Ezequiel (who told us the dog was his) stayed in his house instead of getting his dog. My husband caught the dog and was bitten several times before the dog was hopefully dispatched by him. The owner of the property and the dog was only concerned about receiving money for losing the dog. The boy will possibly have trauma for the rest of his life. My husband is undergoing rabies shots and awaiting surgery on his hand. There are many great vacation rentals in El Salvador stay away from this one.
