El Paso was a perfect accommodation for our five weeks in the January February period of this year. Petra was very supportive and quickly responded to any questions we had. The house was located in a quiet area with many amenities, such as the beach, shopping and great restaurants.

Beautiful property

The house was beautiful and tastefully decorated. We will return here again! Clean well maintained and the kitchen had everything you could think of. The owner was quick to repond to any questions prior to us arriving. It was 10 minutes to some great shopping and 15 minutes to the beach. We loved it!!

Perfect Place

We stayed at "Villa El Paso" for five weeks during January - February. It was one of the best rental properties that we've stayed at in the US or outside the US. A very convenient location in a quiet residential area. We found this property to be very clean, comfortable, in excellent condition and with the best equiped kitchen ever. Having a garage for parking was a real plus. We had no problems with this property and communications with the property manager and the owner were excellent. We highly recommend this home whether you plan to stay a few days or for many weeks.

Villa El Paso

My family of four stayed here for 4 nights. I can’t say enough about the cleanliness, convenience and comfort of this home. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and the home was close to shopping, restaurants, etc. Most of all, the AC, pool, appliances and bathrooms were all very efficient. Pool area and grill were both very nice as well. Both Heidi(property manager) and Petra(home owner) were extremely helpful and responsive to any questions I had. I would give this home more than 5 stars if possible!

AMAZING

I cannot speak enough about the quality of this home. This home had everything we needed and good amounts! There was enough towels, everything for the kitchen, laundry, pool, and beach. Communication was good! I would rent this home in a heartbeat again. Also the location was so close to beaches and the neighborhood was quiet and safe! EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT.

Great Vacation!

I can recommend this property with pleasure as I am sure whoever chooses this house for their vacation they will thoroughly enjoy it like we did. We spent our grandchildren's spring April vacations in the neatest possible spacious and elegant house "Villa El Paso". The house has spacious bedrooms, wonderful comfortable beds, all that may be needed for a family, plenty of dishes, nice bedding and what not. But the greatest possible attraction is the privacy of the huge patio with a beautiful newer pool under Lanai (a net pavilion that protects from flies, mosquitoes and other uninvited "visitors", if any). The patio has a large table with chairs (cushions), chez-longs, armchairs and what not. The manager was on top of every minor question we had for her, and the owners were always in easy communication. The beach is wide and waters are calm and inviting. Thank you for the wonderful, comfortable, enjoyable and pleasurable vacation!

Beautiful and Clean

Petra's house is absolutely perfect. It has everything you might think about to cook and enjoy your stay. We were very happy to see that all the kitchen utensils were new and overall everything in the house was pretty high end. In the garage we found chairs for the beach. Tones of new towels and sheets, easy to wash and dry. The pool is gorgeous but keep in mind it is solar panel heated so it has to be sunny to make it warm. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood but just 15 mins from the most beautiful beach where we enjoyed the sunsets and the divine waters. The communication with petra and the very nice house manager Heidi made it all just so easy and we will definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking about coming to Florida!

Nice Property - Read Listing Carefully

Home was nice and well equipped. The rate was reasonable however we did not read the listing carefully enough and were surprised with a separate charge for cleaning after our stay. In fairness to owners, they did note this within the extensive VRBO listing that we were to leave cash on the kitchen counter top (a little questionable???) for cleaning and we missed this detail when booking. I have rented a few other times through VRBO and the cleaning fee was always included in the transaction, so when factoring in the separate fee for cleaning we would have considered a different property closer to the water...

Perfect, quiet and relaxing

Frau Pfeifer was quick to communicate and ensure all aspects of the home were prepared for the stay. The home is well appointed with everything you need for a week or more stay. The layout of the house is perfect for a family of 4. Access to the pool available from almost all rooms was a wonderful feature for us Michiganders. The neighborhood was very quiet allowing us to spend our evenings on the deck conversing and playing card games. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Villa El Paso

Home is comfortable and beautiful with all the amenities you'd ever need. Loved being greeted every morning by the "Pool Swan", bunnies and turtles while enjoying breakfast on the lanai. Enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the lovely surroundings for a relaxing vacation. Would recommend the property highly. Hope to return in the future.
