All over we had a great stay.It was a updated, clean nice houseBeds were very comfortable It was well equipped. The reason we only gave 4 stars was first the communication. We booked via vrbo and normally you can have a proper conversation here but we never got an answer here.We did had an issue with arrival with the door, we couldn't enter at first because we were 20 min early. After some calls with a nice lady she made it possible for us to e ter minutes before 16 o clock. We do understand that the door has a timer, but if you come from overseas you just want to enter.Another thing was that there is no shade at all in the pool area itself, but that's a minor issue.One last thing was that the pool was advertised heated it was not. But we didn't complain so all good.All over we can definitely recommend this house. As I said, nice clean and comfy.Area is calm ,no noise and close to a lot of things like beach shopping etc.We enjoyed our stay

Hi Tanja! I'm so sorry our message did not come through VRBO as we used a property management software however we are available 24/7 by phone or text for any access issues and are happy to grant an early check-in once the cleaning team has the unit ready. We are thrilled to hear you loved the home and we hope to see you again soon. Safe travels
This home was just what my husband and I needed to get much needed rest. Very spacious and in a quiet neighborhood. The beds are very comfortable. Great private pool area. Management was very accessible and helpful.
