The home was beautiful and the back yard was resort worthy. The pool was perfect, and we saw a toucan in the tree while we were swimming. The host was very responsive and helpful and the house was clean and ready early. There are multiple restaurants in short driving distant that were quite good. Two of the beds were extremely hard and there wasn’t any additional bedding or anything that could be used as padding.

Thank you for the review. I have three queen size beds in bedroom one number one is a Tempur-pedic medium soft mattress. In bedroom number two is a regular spring, medium firm mattress. In bedroom three is a firm spring mattress. I try to cover all options for people. Perhaps you were sleeping in bedroom number three on the firm mattress. I can tell you in the master bedroom that mattress is super soft. I slept on it for 2 years.

The property was clean, spacious, the air conditioning worked well, and it was an easy drive from the airport. The only issue we had was the description of the property having a jacuzzi, which in America means there is a heated soaking area. The pool area has a separate section, but it is not heated, so the pool was not very usable when we arrived in December due to our poor luck with rain and cooler temps. The master suite had a jacuzzi-style tub, but it was missing the water stopper, so we could not soak in the tub either. Again, we loved the property overall, but we wished we had a hot soak option!
Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 31 December 2025
Thanks for the review. My property description clearly says there’s no hot tub or heated jacuzzi. Not sure why you would want a hot jacuzzi when the temperature is 95° outside The temperature of the pool water is approximately 85° all day long which is refreshing when the temperature is very hot. As for the plug in the master suite maybe you did not press it properly. But noted and will have a look Hope to se you again
