Great place to stay
We really enjoyed our stay and Rosa (the owner) was a great host (they live next door but one and are always on hand if needed. We would thoroughly recommend staying at the house.
Cunit has very few English visitors which is great in many ways because it is quiet and meant that it had a more Spanish feel. The area seemed to be mostly residential and Spanish owner occupied villas. Many of them own dogs which are outside so there is some barking whenever anyone walks past a property, there were often dogs barking (some of us were only really disturbed by this on one night).
The property is really spacious but laid out in such a way that the living area is high above the pool (it is on a steep hill) so you need to go down a flight of stairs to access access the garden. We had teenagers with us who could be outside unsupervised but if you have young children you can't see them easily from inside or reach them quickly. It did also make eating outside at lunch time a bit of hassle as you have to carry all the stuff up and down stairs. The stairs are stone and slippery when wet so we did have to remind the kids to dry off before coming in and out.
The kitchen is quite small for a house that can accommodate ten people but is well equipped and has a dishwasher. There are 2 fridges in the house, one in the kitchen and one in the basement where you access the pool.
There are mosquitoes but not clouds of them, better screens would really help (they are not a snug fit plus you can't open them during the day). Also they are only on some windows and there are none on the doors, making it much hotter inside at night. the house is always pleasantly cool with the windows open during the day.
The roof terrace is huge, a real sun trap and the views are beautiful.
The pool is great, it is a good size and deep enough for the older kids to jump in and in the sun all day. It is a big garden and well maintained. There are plenty of loungers and seats in the garden.
Due to the hill and the summer heat it is likely you will need a car or use taxis. The beach is about a ten minute drive and there is a little local bar which we walked down the hill to one night (15 mins). We hired a car which is great for the local supermarkets and Cunit beach but if you want to eat out a lot and visit the more busier neighbouring resorts we found parking quite difficult in the evening so an airport transfer and taxi's might be a better option.
The wifi was excellent.
