If you're looking for a quiet home for up to 12 people, this is the BEST option in town! The home is well stocked: lots of towels, bedding, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, cleaning supplies, spices, laundry detergent, dish soap, toilet paper. This made our 10-day stay very comfortable since we had supplies for the entire visit.
The living room area is AWESOME for large groups: the couches seated all 12 of us as we hung out, watched TV, and talked. The full-wall sliding glass doors that lead to the outdoor patio/pool area provided warm natural light each day and enticed us to wander outside to sit by the fire pit or in the covered cabana with our morning coffee (and afternoon margaritas) in our hands. The gated pool area was equally fantastic- I had my 13 month old son with us and felt completely safe knowing the pool area was securely fenced off from him. We all thoroughly enjoyed the pool with daily family swim sessions in the warm 86-89 degree heated water (available at an additional fee)! The pool is not very large or deep, but it's perfect for lounging on the sitting shelves that are embedded in the pool and cooling off with some water fun.
A huge bonus is how responsive and accommodating Latifa is- this is a big benefit for any stay and especially longer stays! We asked about some additional skillets to support cooking for 12 people, and Latifa had them dropped off just hours later! If you have any questions/needs, Latifa responds immediately, ensuring your stay is comfortable.
We especially appreciated that the home welcomes pets (upon prior approval pending breed and weight for $25 per pet, per day). We brought our 2 dogs (55 & 35lbs).
For future guests, I wanted to clarify one thing: the listing says the home sleeps 12. Note that only 8 people are covered in the initial price you see on the booking page (assuming you input 8 guests or less in the search). If you have more than 8 guests then there's an additional charge of $25 per guest per day. Again, if you searched for 9-12 guests then the cost will adjust accordingly, and this cost is specified at the bottom of the booking page in the "Rates & Availability" section, but it can be easy to miss and can come as a surprise if you initially book for under 8 people and later adjust up to 12 people, which is what we did.
Overall, we had a phenomenal stay at this home and would be honored to stay again (and again!) in the future! THANK YOU, Latifa, for welcoming us in your beautiful home!
