We walked into the home and– Bang, we felt welcomed and comfortable! I did not think it would be this facile to walk into a place that is not your home and still feel that good, but that is how my party and I felt when we walked in the door.
I must begin by saying that I have no prior experience with vacation rentals, so I cannot compare my stay here with any other homes. What I can say is that the house we walked into was not only true to the description, whether photographic or literal, but it even surpassed our expectations. I can tell you that I was truly nervous that that it wouldn't live up to our expectations and that we would be betrayed by something or another. But, boy, we made the right choice. It had it all– and it was clean, beautiful and welcoming!
Our host, Mansoor, is very attentive and quick to answer queries. Before we even reserved, we needed answers that would help us to decide upon this home, and I sent them through the app late at night expecting he would answer the next morning. He responded the same night. During the stay, we had a question regarding net connectivity – I couldn't figure out how to log into the WiFi– and he instructed me on how to troubleshoot. Although that was not the answer, luckily my teenaged daughter knew what it was.
The home has all the things a modern home needs, from internet, streaming services, a home security system, large flat-screened TVs in the right places. The living quarters: the rooms have firm mattresses and plush yet light bedding, and uncluttered; the bathrooms are clean and the shower/tub in the master restroom beautiful and modern; the living rooms are ample, with clean and comfy couches, board games to enjoy, big flat screens; the dining table is big, clean and pretty. Natural light is in abundance, but the house is equipped with modern light-filtering shades that give the rooms a nice ambiance.
The. Back. Yard. Is. Chill. The balcony is accessible from the master, and it has patio furniture. Downstairs, we have another shaded area with furniture, a hammock nestled between tall trees that also provide shade to the pool, and an outdoor fire pit. Did I mention the pool? There was water toys, chaise lounge chairs, and other things around it that made it a go-to. We stayed in the pool (which can be heated) till late into the night. A sweet, fun and chill time was had by all out back...
The house accomodates 8, but it is a big enough property. Without question we will be back. 🖖
