My wife, 2 small children under the age of three, and I had a perfect stay. We stay in vacation rentals often and I can honestly say that this was arguably the best vacation rental experience we have ever had due to how clean, well-appointed, and nicely furnished the villa was during our stay.
A few highlights:
- From the floors (very important w/ small children!) to the kitchen to the bathrooms to the outside patio... everything was spotless.
- The bedding in all rooms was high-quality and very hotel-like, which is a rarity with most vacation rentals I’ve stayed at. Like most 4 and 5-star hotels, my wife and I probably slept better here than we did at home. Resting our head was a treat at this villa, which is how all vacation rentals should be—though very few are. Pre-sleep thoughts at most vacation rentals are “this bed is really uncomfortable” or “I hope this bedding is cleaner than it looks.” Not here!
- The bathrooms came equipped with nice soap and shampoo choices. It was obvious that the owner went the extra mile to keep the bathrooms stocked and organized. This was a nice reprieve from most vacation rentals, where what's provided is of questionable quality or origin, or is simply the remnants from the last visitor's stay.
- The kitchen had everything you would need to cook a real meal. We cooked some basic meals for our small kids and we had no problems finding everything we needed to cook, serve, and eat our meals.
- I didn't think much of the living room couches from the pictures. However, they seemed to be brand new and were extremely comfortable. In addition, 4 or 5 of the sections reclined. Again… extremely comfortable.
- The patio is not as nice as it looks in the picture. It's nicer! The pictures of the ground floor patio really attracted me to this particular villa. However, I lowered my expectations before we arrived because I thought there was no way it could be as nice as in the pics. I was wrong. It’s every bit as nice and spacious, and as an added bonus, it offers incredible views of the mountains that but up against the back of the resort.
I have never given a vacation rental this positive or long of a review, but this villa deserved it. Also, this villa had no reviews when I booked it, so I wanted to do my good deed for the day and give this villa and owner the kudos it deserves. This owner went the extra mile to provide a great stay for my family, so I’m more than happy to repay the favor.
Thanks,
Shawn
