Great House with great design. Only constructive feedback would be to improve the pressure in the showers. Aside from this, it was awesome!

This house had such great design and decor, we just loved it! The beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped, and the outdoor space was amazing for lounging by the pool all day. Lots of cool features too, like the steam shower and tub that fills from the ceiling! Also the separate Casita space was great for the travelers in our group that preferred to have their own private space. Backyard was equipped with misters to help cool down on the hot days. Excellent outdoor covered dining space with great lighting design on the patio. The host was very communicative and helpful and brought us trash bags upon request when we ran out. They also brought us some sweet treats during our stay. We really enjoyed our stay here, highly recommend!
