Our second visit to this property and it was well worth the return. Suggestions for the property manager. We like to have a notebook that has information about area restaurant with menus and things to do. It would also be easier for the maid, pool guys and visitors if there were set times that they come to service the house. It seemed like a revolving door at times. However, we loved our stay and would recommend the property to friends and family.

A little slice of heaven

This home was everything as described. Absolutely stunning views, beautiful layout of the home and the backyard around the pool. Plenty of area to be together or to have some space. The kitchen was fully stocked and even had the smaller items like a lime crusher that most places don't. Within walking distance of Maho and the Sunset Cafe to watch the planes land. I would definitely stay here again. Absolutely loved the home!

Amazing family vacation

Everything about our stay here was incredible! The villa was stunning, well equipped and spacious. The indoor and outdoor areas were perfect for our group of 9 including 6 adults and 3 kids. The location is very convenient as you can walk to Maho though we also found it quite easy to drive around the island to explore different beaches and restaurants. We appreciated an early check in and the every other day housekeeping service was a really nice surprise. We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful property for a group!

We had 6 adults and 2 children 31/2 and 6. The pool was perfect for everyone. Very well maintained as well. The kids also enjoyed exploring the beach and tide pools, but there is no swimming in the ocean from the house. Many beaches available for swimming nearby. The house is perfect for hanging out. The grounds are very nice with lots of sitting areas and places for the kids to play. This was our second stay in the villa with the same group and we all really enjoyed it. We highly recommend this property.

My family and I, comprised of 7 adults and 3 kids, had an amazing time at this villa. Both John and Stacey were so accommodating, responsive and helpful with all questions and coordination. The villa was exactly as pictured and the view and location was unbeatable. We will miss waking up to the waves crashing each day!

Aesthetically, the house looks beautiful & is in a great location. The pool area was lovely. Can't beat the sound of the waves.That being said, communication with the host was terrible. I messaged prior to leaving & again when we landed for instructions on how to get into the VRBO with no response. After contacting customer service while waiting at the airport, I finally received a message through Whats App from Stacey with instructions. When contacting the host again after 3 days, complaining housekeeping hadn't been done, we were having issues with the water temperature, and experiencing a MAJOR ant issue (by then we had emptied the kitchen cupboards twice to spray raid. We were washing our own towels (only 2 bath towels provided per room), sweeping floors, taking out the garbage etc). The host replied saying the house keeper was scheduled to come that day & friday (would be great to know & she didn't show up until Thursday morning at 7:15 & waited outside for us to leave so she could clean). He also said Stacey was our primary contact (naturally you'd think this should have been shared info long before arriving at the VRBO). We thought for the price, the beds, pillows & linens are far from hotel quality. The bathrooms are dark & dated. If you're one who appreciates a full length mirror, there's one in the entire house. The toilet seat & door handle of the "blue room bathroom" was broken so you couldn't close the door. I'd share more but no space allowed.

Great house!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The 4 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms worked perfectly for our 2 families. Kitchen was well equipped and we cooked a lot. The backyard felt even more spacious than the pictures show. We enjoyed eating dinner at the table overlooking the ocean. Easy walk over to Maho beach, which we all enjoyed! Any issues we had, the property manager was very responsive. We would very much recommend this property!

There were 2 bedrooms that had an awful smell. We could not use one of them and kept the door shut otherwise we would not have been able to stay. Lucky there were 2 beds in the one bedroom so we were able to stay. It was a great location and the views were great.

Good Time

Excellent location. Property is nice. Pool is well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked. We had to ask for more towels three times. The first set were stiff. We accidentally locked our passports in the safe and had to wait 2 days to get help. The linens definitely need to be replaced. We will definitely would book again.
