Rarely do pictures show what you can really expect, and I always read other positive reviews with a little bit of doubt - but in this case the photos, description and the positive reviews are spot on. This is an absolutely stunning property - the house is unique with multiple bedrooms, a separate master casita and separate casita with a kitchen and living room. In addition, the main gathering area and kitchen is beautiful in itself, but then the wall-to-wall windows looking out onto the infinity edge pool and the ocean is just spectacular. The kitchen is well appointed with the essentials including an ice maker.
We spent most of our time out on the back patio area which is cleverly laid out to include plenty of sun, but also plenty of shaded areas. As with all great stays it took until the end of the week to figure out all the tricks of the house - the locks were sometimes challenging the first couple of times, but the instructions left for guest, when read, provided the necessary answers.
When at the villa, you feel really isolated as you cannot really see but the roof of the villa next door when in the back due to all of the beautiful gardens and foliage in the back. Plenty of pretty birds, some of what we would call raccoons that liked to come by in the evenings, and a few small lizards, one iguana and a few crabs but nothing intrusive. The house was well kept during the week by the housekeeper with plenty of towels, etc.
Thanks - we loved it!
