It was a great little place and served just the purpose we needed it for. Van, the host, was great with communication and offering activity ideas, etc. Beach wasn't far for all our little outings. All in all, a great stay! However, worth noting, when I chose to rent this listing, it did say it had a whirlpool/hot tub as well as the heated pool. When I arrived there was no hot tub and no word of said hot tub or of not having one. I do understand things happen, and its no longer in the listing, but a heads up could of went along way...it wasn't the only house on my radar. Had it been important to me I could of chose elsewhere, they could of offered to make up for it in other ways. Not saying a word and hoping we wouldn't notice when we arrived didn't leave a good taste with me. It did not ruin my trip by any means but still, ehh.And I also didn't really care for receiving a text an hour before check-in saying to click this link and pay this fee before I will receive an access/entry code. (After VRBO has already sent me an entry code via email) I was well aware of an extra "resort" fee outside of the VRBO fees, they mention it often in the listing. I would of just appreciated receiving it prior to my mid arrival travels. It was an unnecessary last minute frustration I could of went without while navigating travel. Again, it all worked out fantastically, just some things worth mentioning.

Dear Jill, Thank you for the thoughtful 4-star review. We're delighted that you enjoyed the location and that Ven’s recommendations added value to your trip. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the hot tub. You are absolutely right—while the listing had been updated back in September, 2025 to reflect its removal, we should have proactively checked to make sure nowhere in the listing a hot tub is mentioned. That would have allowed you to make an informed decision, and we regret missing that opportunity. We are addressing this internally to ensure better communication moving forward. We also apologize for the late arrival of the resort fee invoice. Typically, we send this link one day before check-in to avoid holding guests' funds longer than necessary—a practice we intentionally follow to distinguish ourselves from other management companies. Unfortunately, on the day prior to your arrival, we experienced a full-day outage with our texting service, which delayed the message. We completely understand how frustrating that last-minute request was while you were traveling, and we are sorry for the inconvenience. We're grateful these issues didn't overshadow your overall experience, and we hope to welcome you back for an even smoother stay in the future. Warm regards, Ven & The Hacienda Team

Perfect vacay

Mom and I loved our stay. We enjoyed the beach that was very close by, and having the grocery store in the same neighborhood made it convenient to get any last minute necessities. This is a perfect location made easier by us having a rental car, but you could easily uber everywhere you need. The home was clean and spacious, and best of all we got to enjoy the pool between our beach time.
