You make the near-disasters sound funny, Kelena. []
You also have the great next to ocean location, pool, and jacuzzi, right? Of course, you have to compete with the oceanfronts that have really expensive pools ... have looked at a few that are almost mansion looking ... yours has great amenities, price, and MANA, personality.
My rental had no ocean, no view other than the garden, close neighbors, and it was small ... but people really liked it. They said over and over that it felt like they had moved into their own cozy cottage, not a rental. So I can attest that personality is very important.
There are a lot of cookie cutter condo rentals and 3/2 houses on the island -- having some artful touches inside and out is so helpful. A well-maintained and private hot tub is a draw as well, outdoor showers are another thing people go nuts over, lava rock outdoor showers.
