Aspectos positivos: Limpieza, llegada, comunicación, ubicación y precisión del anuncio
Cozy with a wonderful yard and view
We (4 adults, 4 kids aged 5-12) enjoyed a weekend here in November. Communication with Maria was easy in advance of our stay although a bit slower once checked-in (we had some questions about the heating).
House: The home is very pretty although certain aspects are a bit dated (bathrooms and some furnishings) it didn't really impact our stay. The view out back is wonderful and the yard and pool were well-enjoyed. Inside the house is cozy and well equipped with bedding, towels, robes, etc. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs (1 master plus 2 rooms with single beds) and 2/3 had very comfortable beds while the third less so. Downstairs is the living area and the 4th bedroom. The living room with fireplace was a wonderful place to gather and enjoy family time. Lots of firewood available was a big plus. The kitchen was well-stocked although we did miss a frying pan that worked on the induction stove (only the pots worked). We didn't realize this until our last evening so didn't reach out for help as there simply wasn't time and we just adjusted our meal plans, but it's a simple fix.
It is worth noting that the house has a basement apartment/unit that was occupied while we were there. It was really a non-issue for us but surprised us to see that second access into the private yard and think it should be mentioned in the listing (as, again, it's really no big deal but people should be aware).
We did have one issue with the floor in the master bedroom needing repair (parquet floor which was cracking and buckling). Maria informed me of this just the day prior to our arrival (not sure when it happened but we'd have appreciated a bit more notice). While it was seemingly a minor inconvenience, it did mean we had to be careful where we stepped and our middle child did cut his toe on one broken piece. Athough hopefully the floor has since been fixed, we think some area rugs would have been a good solution.
The location of the house is nice with a peekaboo sea view and a beautiful view across to other homes, lots of trees, etc. It is indeed walking distance to the beach, although the walk down is much easier than the walk back up (very much UP!). The return trip is steep and would be challenging for anyone with any kind of limited mobility (even just older folks and/or smaller children).
Overall we would certainly stay again at Maria's home as the positives do far outweigh the negatives!
