    We really loved our stay in Jan juc. It was a lovely location with a great view over the area. The place was really spacious and clean. It was very relaxing to stay here just sitting in the living room looking out towards the golf course and the ocean from the distance. Thanks so much for this cozy stay!

    Keys for property were colour coded and we were not told that 2 different keys were needed to open the front door. Blinds in 2nd bedroom fell down, badly installed. Property in good, clean condition. Needs breadknife and simple instructions for cooktop .
