While we have embraced vacation rentals over hotels, for the most part, we still can't escape the initial feeling of "did we make the right decision this time . . ." No matter how compelling the photos or enticing the reviews of other guests, the first few seconds of pulling into a driveway or getting out of an elevator can be suspenseful.
Our concerns were quickly allayed when we punched our code into the keypad. The house was simply perfect. Beautifully decorated, it accommodated the six of us very well. The kitchen was complete and cheery; the bedrooms were very comfortable. Mu husband was impressed with the automation from the entry to the pool heating.
The star of the show, however, is the living area outside. The pool and jacuzzi are beautiful and, despite the cooler December/January temperatures, they were well-used. We rarely left the property and spent hours in the water. The living area is comfortable and well-shaded.
It's simply a gorgeous property and Toni, the owner, and John, the manager, were super-responsive to questions and very accommodating. Also, "paulbar on Vista Chino was a great find.
We can't wait to come back and, once again, sit and do nothing . . .which is exactly what we needed to do!!!
