I couldn't be any happier with this house! Caroline (the owner) was extremely responsive with questions about the property throughout the booking process and very attentive after we booked as well. She connected me with Claudia, the concierge for the house, who gave us all the info we needed and helped us book a personal chef service (DO IT!!!).
When we arrived, there were margaritas, quesadillas, and fresh guacamole waiting for us. The caretaker/groundskeeper Ishmael was very nice, helped with our bags, etc. Just a heads up - Ishmael is kind of "around" all the time, checking in on things. This wasn't a negative by any means - it was nice because he's there to help if you need anything - but I wouldn't plan on walking around naked!
The VIEW...I mean, the pictures nail it. It's an incredible view and you can enjoy the beach without getting sand in your suit! The pool is perfect and the fact that there's a swim-up bar... mean, that's just icing on the cake. A note about the pool - all the floats we brought with us had a green ring on them after just a little while in the pool. White swimsuits turned a bit green as well. I don't think it's a big issue, but I wouldn't wear a brand-spanking new swimsuit if you're gonna hang out in the pool all day.
There's a ton of privacy between rooms. Each room is separate from the common areas, so it's very private. OH! There are 3-4 different levels, so be prepared for a lot of stairs - I actually loved this, because you really won't want to leave this incredible house, so the stairs are the only activity you'll get!
Location: it's a very short drive to grocery shopping (Walmart, Costco, local stores). Getting in/out of the neighborhood takes about 5 minutes because it's up in the hills, but once you figure it out, it's not a big deal. (The neighborhood is gated with security.)
I can't say enough good things about this place - I would definitely stay here again!
