We rented this house to spend the holidays with our children and grandchildren, and the 9 of us could not have had a better experience. It was wonderful!!!
Communication with Stephanie and Austin was great, found them both to be very responsive. The house is in a gated community in a central location. We felt safe and it was easy to get to anywhere we wanted to go. The house was very spacious, allowing the 9 of us private spaces, as well as the space to be together as a family.
The full dinner waiting for us upon our arrival was the perfect touch. Tired from our travels we feasted on a delicious chicken dinner, complete with rum punches for the adults and fruit punch for the kids. They also had beer, wine and water chilling in the fridge. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking, and the grill, while finicky in a stiff breeze, was fine.
We enjoyed the upper porch with its comfortable furniture, cooling breezes, endless ocean views, and the incredible night sky. Even though we went to a different beach every day, we still used the pool quite a bit. Even borrowed some fishing poles from a local friend and fished standing in the water right in front of the house.
When Austin offered us a late check out, we went for it. Meant we didn't have to be out first thing in the morning which was very helpful and appreciated, especially since everyone had afternoon flights.
We made many wonderful memories during our visit to Villa Santa Cruz and everyone would welcome a return visit.
