Pros: Very clean, the community pool was fun for the kids (no shade over the water) and my wife thought it was great. Host was great help. The address was hard to put into Google. The booking app would not work to locate it—Fortunately we realized the map looked off and the host sent us a link as we drove. If you get lost look for “Lamy’s Mexican Grill” in Santa Clara. It is 200 feet to the east of that restaurant. At night our GPS betrayed us. Not the fault of the host—new subdivision.
Other things to know: “Pet Friendly” which is great but we had a small labradoodle that is well trained but she struggled to pee on the hot rocks. The back yard is small and filled mostly with a jacuzzi and some chairs. I hope they add some fake grass (in shade because it too gets hot) over the rocks for the 4 legged. To the west and then up the road north, about 300 yards up the Lava flow Road is a big open grass area. It was surprisingly hot on the grass for my bare feet so I kept my dog in the shade. There’s also a little grass area by the pool but I’m not sure your dogs are allowed there. The subdivision pool rules. read like a manifesto so I was scared to risk it. Made me chuckle a little bit about HOA‘s. I would not really recommend staying for only one night. The cleaning fee adds up. If you’re in the area for a few nights, it’s probably a better value.
Overall, this place was great. Great location. Very clean, nice home. Pool was great.
