Cute Well Equipped House
My husband and I recently spent a month here during which time our adult daughter and partner joined us for a few days and our adult son with his wife and two little boys joined us later in the month for a week. The house is very cute and well kept. The kitchen is incredibly well provisioned in terms of pots, pans etc. The lay out is very good with two fully ensuited bedrooms including a spacious master suite and the main floor has a large den with trundle beds and a cross hall full bathroom as well.
There were, however, a couple of negatives. The description of the property leads one to think that the home is close to the beach. In fact, while you could, conceivably, walk to the beach, it would be a long walk and the walk home would be a brutal up hill climb. In addition, the description suggests that the home is "across the street" from the Monarch Beach Resort. Technically this is true in that the development in which the house is situated is across the street from the far end of the resort. However, the house is located some ways up the hill from the security gate leading to the street and the actual entrance to the resort is a ways down the street - a bit of a hike if you are going to use any of the facilities at the resort. Both of those factors were a disappointment to us. That said, both the beach and the resort were a very short drive from the house.
The only other point I would make is that during the winter months, the patio area, which is large and well furnished, gets very little sun during the day just because of the position of the house.
Finally, I have to say that Karla is amazingly responsive and friendly and we loved the fact that we had a weekly cleaning service.
