The pool and spa are gorgeous. Overall the property is good but there are a few maintenance issues - need a new BBQ and the cushions on the sunbeds need replaced. The big issue is the contact with the property management company which is poor - they direct you to a customer portal for information especially for check-in but the property was listed as non active 3 days before arrival and no answer to any emails. We had to request pool cleaning as after 10 days no-one had appeared despite the property book stating they come twice a week!

Great family stay!

We stayed for 1 week with our four kids. The property was perfect for our family. The pool was very family friendly - the beach-style/slanted entrance was great for the younger kids. The house was a great size and the host was very responsive with any issues. Would come back!

Spacious

This home and pool gave 5 adults and 3 children plenty of space to be together without being on top of each other. We did need to bring our own folding chairs as the large table only has 6 chairs. The kitchen could use more utensils but we made it work. Definitely would come back.

Backyard is as great as advertised!

We’re from the PNW so for us, the backyard was heaven and perfect for spending some time in the sun. This place is great for a group, Layout is nice if you have a mix of early risers and night owls. Beds are comfortable and no shared walls. House was well stocked and property manager easy to work with. One thing is that the bbq is probably on its last leg. Overall very nice and just what some sun starved humans needed!

The house itself is very nice. But there were some issues (broken lamp, missing remote controls and something (we don't know what it was) that smelled very bad (rotten)in the garage. Communication was very bad. It took about 1,5 weeks before these things were fixed. On the outside lot's of things were broken. On our last day they wanted to replace some chair pillows, so that we could still enjoy it while we were there.....

Traumhafte Location für ein paar sonnige Tage

wir, eine 4-köpfige Familie verbrachten ein paar wundervolle Tage in dieser atemberaubenden Villa. Es fehlt wirklich an nichts. Der Pool und der Jacuzzi sind der wahnsinn. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
