Perfect home for a family getaway
The house is in the perfect location and suitable for large groups, I would say the furniture is a little bit dated but didn’t effect our stay! Would happily return 😊

would not stay again
The villa is fine for a large group, looking for a good party house, it is not suited for a family. The decor and furniture is tired and needs some improvements.
The pool area is lovely, the street is nice and it seems a safe area.
VRBO provided a disappointing service! I feel like they charge you for every single thing they can! We wanted an extra single bed and even this came at a charge (later refunded due to my compliant). No flexibility on check in or out time and you have to pay to leave your cases at their office.
To me, it was not personal, it was very corporate and money money money! I would not book with this management company again.
All 11 guests felt the same! And the complaints and negotiations with the office impacted our stay.

Vacances en famille et avec des amis
Logement très propre et spacieux. Très bien bien situé, à une dizaine de minutes de la plage. Nombreux petits restaurants à proximité.
La personne qui gérait la location était disponible et très réactive.
Nous avons passé une bonne semaine.
Merci pour tout
