Villa with pool near the beach

"there aren't enough loungers for the number of people the property holds. " There are 6 blue loungers and 2 white loungers in the garage. "The kitchen was well equipped although we had to clean some of the utensils before using them and we found other peoples food and condiments left behind." See contract: it is the responsibilty of the (previous) tenant. "the bad news is there is only one key to lock the property and that key is used in the front door, back door and all patio doors. As we were 2 separate families this was a problem on some days." 1) There was a solution: there is a key safe box where you could leave the keys behind. The first who came home, could take the keys 2) We made a second pair of keys: problem solved for the future. "You are essentially the cleaner for the next people staying in the villa as you have to sweep the outside area and clean inside before your deposit is returned." We ask in the contract: 1) to clean up the leaves on the terraces and the path around the property. 2) Inside: clean up the coocking plate + pits, empty the bins, clean the fridge and clean the grids of the bbq = normal maintenance of a property inside. 3) The cleaning wife always comes at the end of the stay = mentioned in the contract. "Having stayed in a number of villas we've also had a cleaner attend on the middle weekend, this didn't happen here." See above: The cleaning wife always comes at the end of the stay = mentioned in the contract. "You can't use all of the air con units at the same time otherwise the electricity cuts out." There are new digital counters installed by the electricity company in all Moraira. That means if the use of electricity is too high at the same time, the electricity cuts of for a few minutes. This is not a choice of the owners, its a decision of the electricity company and is used for every resident in Moraira. The possible cut of electricity in those cases is also mentioned in the contact. "The hot water comes from a hot water tank so as soon as one person has had a shower the hot water is diluted with cold so we found only 2 out of 8 people could have warm showers." There is a hot water tank with more than 100 liters water. "The bedding wasn't the cleanest compared to other villas we've stayed and the bundle of towels we paid for, which we had to clean ourselves, was a bit expensive. " The sheets and towels are provided at the beginning of the journey. It is mentioned in the contract that there is no external cleaning service of the sheets and towels during the journey. There is a washing machine in the villa. Everyone may choose how many times he washes the sheets and towels. Concerning the sheets, it is correct that there is a possibility of little remains of grease stains of sun cream and sun oils, but all the sheets are washed several times! They are not dirty. "There are no photos of the twin bedroom on HomeAway and it became apparent why when we arrived as it's tiny. Too small for 2 teens." We will put a photo of the room that is mentioned on the site. However, it’s a room of a holiday villa and the room is perfectly suitable to accomodate 2 teens or adults. The experience that rooms or houses are too tiny or too big is a personal interpretation of people. "We would definitely return to Moraira as the town has a vast array of restaurants and bars but this villa would need some money spent on it before we'd consider going back." As owners we are convinced that we ask a price that is reasonable comparing the quality and accomadation that we offer with this villa. Extra services or higher standards means higher prices.

“Dont know why they had kitchen unites in one of the bedrooms.” That is correct. In the past, this bedroom was part of a studio and it needed kitchen. The kitchen will be removed in the near future. “There was chairs and a setee in the bedrooms which were not needed, and no draws.” We will look into it and see what we can remove from that particular room to make it more orderly, clear. “The bedlinen and towels (which we hired) need to be replaced, so do the pillows.” When the pillows are used it is obligated to use the pillowcases. The bed linen and towels are not worn-out. “There was no property manager.” That is correct. We do not work with an agency, we rent privately. Of course if we have to work with a manager, the price has to be adapted and we still want to offer a reasonable, affordable price.

Thank you very much.
