Fantastic place

We loved the beautiful yard, tastefully decorated villa and cleanliness. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The hosts were very kind and the location was great~ golf course views and near the state park that has beach access.

Great Experience

Aneta was a great host, made the entire process so easy. The property is beautifully maintained, even as a guest house we never felt any lack of privacy. The cottage has plenty of space for two and the layout is unique. In warmer weather the garden/patio/balcony would be great places to enjoy. Wish we could have stayed longer

Poor Communication with Owner

We did not intend to review the property but received a notice that we were reviewed as guests, so we felt it was important to document our experience with the owner/manager. Unfortunately, as responsible citizens, we got COVID and tried to notify the property three days before our check-in date to let them know this and explore our options. Unfortunately, we could not reach them. We reached out to VRBO, and they tried contacting the owners but could not get a response either. We purchased the insurance option, which we learned was great because we could get a full refund. When trying to submit the claim, we and VRBO could not reach the owner at all; their contact phone number was no longer valid and had not been updated. We sent several emails to them, as did VRBO. When they finally got in touch with us (2 days after our planned check-in date, we figured we'd lose the total amount of our stay and were mentally writing it off). After our cancelation option had expired, they suggested we cancel our visit, and they offered to refund the cleaning fee (which makes sense because there would be no additional cost to clean a property that hadn't been occupied). By then, it was too late for us to take any action. Thankfully, the insurance process did work, and we were able to get a refund. We would strongly suggest not booking with this property because they were unreachable and then unwilling to provide guidance when we needed to pursue a refund for medical reasons.

Like a bit of the Mediterranean

Loved my stay here. Host was super communicative and helpful where required, and the balcony is a lovely spot to bring in the morning. Five stars!

WONDERFUL STAY!!!

My boyfriend and I planned a little surf trip staycation (we live in Los Angeles) and it was PERFECT. Aneta was the sweetest & most accommodating host!! The place was so peaceful and clean and the greenery around the property was beautiful. Would absolutely stay there again :)
