Vina del Mar is charming and this rental unit is just as lovely as pictured, if not more. It is well furnished, centrally located, easy walk to the beach. The Concierge staff were most gracious. We had wireless access, the use of the outdoor & indoor pool, a well furnished balcony to enjoy the sunsets from. The owners ensure all is well by checking in with you when you arrive. We would return again and can highly recommend this rental to anyone planning to visit this area. Sharon & Dane Sunshine Coast of BC, Canada

Owner response:Dear Dane and Sharon, We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay in the beautiful city of Viña del Mar and especially that you felt so comfortable in our condo. Thank you so much for the gifts you left for us and for sharing your experiences. Best regards, Eddie and Danilo

We spend two nights here in January. It was a very welcome respite after 10 days on the road, driving up from the south of Chile. The apartment was very clean, spacious and comfortable, and the ocean view from the balcony was fantastic. Our kids enjoyed swimming in the heated pool, and then eating pizza from Papa John's - located right next to the apartment building. It was too bad the apartment was only available for two nights, or we would have loved to stay longer.

Our stay at Vina December 2011

We stayed at this beautiful condo with out two grown daughters. It was a perfect place in a wonderful location close to grocery, restaurants and just a short walk to the beach. The condo was clean, comfortable and had all of the amenities we needed. The concierge were very helpful and we took advantage of the indoor pool, outdoor pool and sauna. I definately recommend this condo and hope we can stay here again!

Owner response:Hello Friends, We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed you time at our condo. We are blessed to have found an excellent housekeeper who always pays attention to detail. You will be welcome back anytime.

Apartment in Viña

Guest: Lesley J.
Date of Stay: 12/01/11 Review Submitted: 12/31/11

This is an excellent apartment for a couple or a couple with two children. It has terrific views from the huge terrace, is comfortably furnished, has great communal space and a very good kitchen (althought the dishwasher was not working). The master suite is lovely. However, we were four adults and the second bedroom was just not adequate, being cramped and lacking in anywhere to put anything apart from a small built-in cupboard. We had to leave our cases in the hall and squeeze past each other in the room. The shower across the hall did not soak away. We could not imagine how six people would be accommodated here. The location is at the far end of town, so good for acess to the coastal resorts but a trek into Viña on foot. Viña is not pedestrian-friendly and getting from one place to another across its bizarre crossing system can be a challenge. The building is safe and the helpful concierge staff are a real bonus.

Owner response:Hello Friends, We appreciate your comments and will attend to the necessary repairs. I only wish that we would have been informed of this during your stay in order to take care of the situation immediately. As you can see in the other reviews, whenever a guest has a request we do our best to remedy the situation as quickly as possible. We even have a local Vina phone number which reaches us whether we are in Chile or the USA, so we are always very accessible to our guests. As far as the size of the condo, please note that the square footage is clearly stated in the listing. Previously we have had several groups of six who have been quite confortable in the condo. Also, I am sorry that you were not satified with the location, however, the building is located in the most exclusive part of the city and also it is right next to the largest mall in town. Major department stores, grocery stores and cinemas are just steps away. It is true that the building is about a half hour walk to the city center, however, being that the city center is away from the water we opted to have our condo facing the Pacific Ocean. In our experience, we have found that having an ocean view apartment is the first priority of most guests. Of all of the properties listed in Vina, we are proud to have more reviews than any other and all of the other reviews have given us a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

Great Location

Eddie & Danilo's condo is very comfortable, well appointed and modern. The view from the balcony is fabulous. We took their advice and went up on the roof for sunset.....wow! Great 360 views of Vina. The location is perfect for walking all over the beach in any direction. There is a big grocery store within a 1/2 block of the condo. Discovered lovely neighborhoods around 6 Norte and 6 Pointe area. Beautiful and easy drive up the coast to Renaca and Concon. Went to dinner in Concon and loved the fresh seafood everywhere. The concierge staff at the condo were soooo nice as well. We would stay here again if the opportunity arises.

The location, views and apartment itself was absolutely wonderful! We were traveling in Chile for a month and I would say this accommodation was the best. The owners are very easy to deal with and there was even a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival. I really could go on and on about the cleanliness of the apartment, the fully-equipped kitchen, and the friendly concierge. There is also a lovely heated pool on the premises. I look forward to returning sometime in the summer months so we can swim at the beach! I REALLY THINK THIS IS AN A-PLUS PLACE TO STAY!

Owner response:Thank you so very much for your kind words. Your comments make all our efforts worthwhile. We are very pleased to offer our guests clean and comfortable accommodations. We look forward to having you stay with us again.

All True and More

All the highlights about this unit mentioned in the other reviews are accurate. Another plus for me was the nearby seaside promenade, great for walking, jogging, cycling, skating or pushing a carriage if you have an infant with you. I must admit that I was naively expecting pretty little coastal villages, but Vina is quite a dynamic place, yet still has a small enough feeling to enjoy. You'll love the comfort, spaciousness and great location of the apt. I walked from/to the bus station with ease. I, too, appreciated the interest and helpfulness of the owners.
