This house was exactly as advertised. Like staying at your grandma's house but better. Cute, homey, clean, well stocked and comfortable for our family trip. The location was great for our purposes and I appreciated the quiet neighborhood even more during a busy weekend. The hosts were good with communication and the house was well stocked. We would definitely stay again.

Tammy is an excellent hostess. The house had everything you could imagine and was in great condition. While our reason for being in the area was for an event in downtown Omaha, the 20-30 minute drive between there and Gretna was very doable, and especially for the price point. Well worth the stay and would absolutely stay here again if I find myself in the greater Omaha area again.

Geräumiges, renoviertes Ferienhaus in der Urbanisation Primavera in der Nähe von El Sauzal. Ausgezeichnete ruhige Lage mit Blick aufs Meer. Die moderne und zweckmäßige Einrichtung ist komplett neu, alle wichtigen Geräte sind vorhanden. Das Haus hat ein separates Büro/Arbeitszimmer mit Internetanschluss und Drucker, was allerdings nicht benutzt wurde.4 Klimageräte in den Haupträumen sorgen für angenehme Temperaturen an heißen Tagen.Fernsehempfang ist (leider) nur über Internetfernsehen (Netflix, Prime nach Anmeldung verfügbar), möglich. Livestream von ARD und ZDF ist aus rechtlich Gründen nicht empfangbar. Die Ausstattung im Außenbereich ist verbesserungsfähig. Es ist nur eine einzige Sonnenliege vorhanden. Hausübergabe und Abreiseformalitäten völlig unkompliziert. Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt zu einem angemessenen Preis. Das Ferienhaus ist zu empfehlen, ich würde es jederzeit nochmal buchen.
