Sommes toutes un bon logement. L’emplacement est très bien. Toutefois, plusieurs détails rendent l’endroit quelques peu désagréable : 1) Il y avait une odeur de cigarette plutôt forte dans la climatisation et dans les draps. 2) L’annonce indiquait que le nécessaire de plage serait disponible (chaises, parasols, serviettes), toutefois rien de tout cela n’était disponible. Lorsque nous avons communiqué avec l’hôte, il nous a répondu que ce n’était pas inclus. C’était très décevant puisque nous étions 2 jeunes familles qui comptions sur ceux-ci pour nous faciliter la vie. 3) Autre petit détail, la cafetière n’a pas la bonne carafe, ce qui fait que la préparation du cafetière prend plus d’une heure chaque matin. Rien de grave, mais plusieurs détails agaçants pour nous.

Well appointed home. A little further from beach access than we thought (about 5 blocks). Would have liked beach chairs and an umbrella but they are available for rent. Managers were very helpful and courteous. Pool was great.

We stayed here for 4 nights. It had everything we needed, lots of space, clean, very private - really nice to have your own pool and patio area. The location is perfect - five minute walk to several good restaurants or a drive of no more than 10 minutes will give you a lot more options. Five minute walk to the beach. Or a 10 minute drive will get you to Playa Flamingo, one of the nicest beaches in the north Pacific CR. Our host kept me well informed and was always available to help. Overall it was a great experience, absolutely no complaints!
