We loved staying here! We have a family of 5 including 3 smaller children and we also brought our dog. The host was accommodating and very responsive and helpful. Upon arrival it was easy to find and easy to get in with clear instructions from the host, the place was very clean (I’m picky about that) and there were cold drinks in the fridge and chips and salsa waiting for us. The pool was very clean and a great addition for our family and where the kids spent a lot of time! We had an issue with the pool water level but the host was very responsive and helpful. Beautiful area with lots of good parks and walking paths close by which we loved. We would stay here again!

This place was awesome and exactly what we had hoped for: private, relaxing and super clean. The furnishings, from the furniture, bedding and even down to the kitchen utensils, were excellent. We had expected to go to the beach more than we did, but it was because the pool was so inviting (and convenient) and the backyard was almost like being in our own little jungle setting. We saw tons of birds of many different varieties and there were a lot of flowers, despite it being so late in the year. The entire 3 weeks we were there, we spent all of our time outside at the table next to the pool, not once in the living room (which itself was very nice). Our host Birgit really was a Super Host! When we had questions about anything, she always got back to us immediately. On Christmas Eve, of all times, she sent her husband, Daniel, out to deal with a minor plumbing issue we had, and he was there in less than an hour. Just a really awesome place that you won't regret staying at!
