Villa Vallarta & The Maimon Group are THE BEST!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From start to finish this was one of the best experiences I've had renting with AirBnB and most of that is attributed to The Maimon Group. The house was stunning & somehow managed to look even more incredible once we got on site. Check in was super easy, communication throughout our entire stay was incredible with super clear and fast response times, especially from Hannah. All in all it was a 10/10 experience from start to finish and we would absolutely book again in the future!

Exceptional Stay with Maimon Group

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the privilege of staying at this beautiful home in Encino overlooking the valley, and it was truly a memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much thought and attention to detail went into the design and layout of the property.The architecture beautifully balances openness and warmth, creating a communal atmosphere that encourages connection. The orientation of the guest house toward the sunrise and the west-facing bedrooms toward the sunset speaks volumes about the intention behind the design. The flow of the space makes it effortless to navigate, and every corner feels both inviting and refined.The pool area is serene and perfectly positioned to take in the expansive views. Although the jacuzzi remained out of service during our stay despite multiple troubleshooting attempts, the overall beauty and tranquility of the property more than made up for it.The decor throughout the home is stunning modern yet comfortable, with a clear eye for aesthetic cohesion. If there’s one area for improvement, it would be to add a few more kitchen essentials such as cooking oils and spices for guests who enjoy preparing meals at home.We did experience some minor frustration with the internal noise sensors, as regular conversation around the fire pit seemed to trigger them, even when noise levels were well within reason. That said, when Justin stopped by to check in on the situation, he handled it with kindness, professionalism, and understanding, which we truly appreciated.Raquel, who managed our booking, was exceptional,attentive, warm, and consistently accommodating. She made sure every detail of our stay was handled with care and that our questions were answered promptly.

sehr schöne Villa mit Mängel im Unterhalt

Die Villa liegt sehr schön und ist es im Allgemeinen auch. Wir hatten eine schöne Woche verbracht. Leider ist einiges in die Jahre gekommen und vieles war defekt. Auf unsere Hinweise bezüglich der fehlerhaften Geräte wurde reagiert, wobei nicht alles behoben werden konnte. Bezüglich der defekten Vorhänge und der defekten Schiebetüre(was ein Zimmer nicht einsetzbar machte) hat auch nach einer Woche niemand Anstalten zur Behebung gemacht. Generell ist das Haus sauber, wohl aber nach USA Standard. Der Pool und Spa waren bei Ankunft nicht gereinigt. Den Spa haben wir erst nach drei Tagen resp. nach dessen Reinigung (auf unser Drängen) genutzt. Die Zimmer sind ansonsten schön und gross. Die Betten für unseren Geschmack zu weich. Alles im Allem ist das eine schöne Villa, die aber viel zu teuer vermietet wird. Zum verlangten stolzen Preis sollte eine gut unterhaltene Anlage erwartet werden dürfen. Abgesehen von den aufgezeigten Mängel, habe ich mindestens einen Ferientag mit Korrespondenz zur Vermieterin eingesetzt. Die hat sich mehrfach entschuldigt, was aber am Zustand der Villa nichts ändert. Insofern leider ein schlechtes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, was mit weinig Aufwand behoben werden könnte.
