Just what we needed!

The property was perfect for our needs. House was very clean. Had everything we needed. Neighborhood was great. We didn’t get to use the pool but we went by it and so wish we had more time because it was a beautiful pool. Had spa, gift shop, ice cream, bar and grill and we were in the perfect spot for beach views. Owner is great at communicating and very helpful. Highly recommend!

Nice home tucked in a great neighborhood

This property was positioned in the perfect place for us. There were a few issues such as breakdown of the dryer, refrigerator and air conditioning. BUT the owners were incredibly responsive and everything was addressed the same day we made contact. Some stuff was pretty dated. But again the actual home and the owners were great.

Great place in Hermosa Palms

My family and I had a great trip to Hermosa Palms, and Rib and Sarah's place made a great home base for our short trip. The house is wonderful! Everything worked (AC, Wifi , hot water, appliances...) There was some construction across the street so there street was a little crowded, but it was only a minor inconvenience when driving. This was our third stay in HP, and we couldn't beat this place for the price! Rob and Sarah were great. When we needed anything or had any questions, they responded quickly or sent someone over to check on us. I highly recommend this house and these owners. Pura Vida!
