What you see is what you get. My husband, our 3 girls(ages 3,5 & 7) and myself decided to spend Christmas 2015 at the villa. And I must say we had a great time.
Starting with the pro's.
-Peaceful, private, relaxing, spacious, clean,well maintained, comfortable, great scenery. Great layout.
-Mr. Chai was very helpful and accommodating. He sent us directions and instructions which assisted us tremendously in getting settled.
The housekeeper was very courteous, and the guy (sorry cant remember his name) who collects the garbage and cleans the pool was very helpful and friendly.
They all made us feel truly welcomed.
-There were many beaches in close proximity, we chose Mt Irvine. The girls played in the pool almost everyday as it was well suited for the young and old. We were surprised to see the board games in the cupboard of one of the bathrooms.
We played CLASSIC monopoly :). It was truly nostalgic. I even feel to bring a game to add to the collection on our next visit. :)
There were novels for those who love to read novels.
It was nice to read a few guest reviews in the guestbook at the villa. Seeing all those families who visited and who also had a wonderful time made me feel like I was part of a great experience, hard to explain...
-We used the stove oven and refrigerator, even the stereo and TV.All worked well. The kitchen utensils provided were adequate, most things where provided, like towels,toilet paper, mats, hand wash, dishwashing liquid, stuff to clean floors etc. No bath soap, so we had to run to the store to buy some.
Some con's but nothing to spoil our stay.
-slow internet, so streaming movies etc was a little difficult even using skype.
-didnt use the bbq pit at all, it seemed to be rusting.(however I didnt check fully)
-no pantry ,all food had to be stored in the fridge.(yes we carried groceries :)
-tv doesnt have the ports to support games consoles, like the wifi and to stream party games.
as I said these things are all minor and DID NOT affect our stay. We truly enjoyed the peaceful ,breezy ambiance and views. Also the design and decor of the house.
I would like to thank Mr. & Mrs. Chai for our stay. My 5 year old said to tell you thank you for letting us use your house. Till our next visit, continue to do what your doing. I have already recommended the villa to my mother and sister.
Thanks again...
