I've never stayed at someone's vacation house before so I don't have anything to compare this with. That being said I was quite impressed with the place. It was tastefully designed and I loved the art which added such ambiance to the house. The furnishings were great, appliances upscale, bathroom excellent with a rain shower that you will absolutely need and comfortable beds. It was the details that impressed me as well: great bath products things around that I was saying...oh, how nice! The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and doo dads. The location was great and I felt safe as a woman traveling sola. Close to everything you could want.

So why not the extra star you say? (Or maybe not.) I had a rocky beginning. There is only one bathroom and it is upstairs. So, I was going to stay upstairs but the air conditioning was not working well in the main bedroom where the great TV was. I could watch it during the afternoon if I wanted to but staying the night was just too warm for me. I sleep hot. If you like the heat and many do, this would be ideal...great bed, smart TV and bath all on one floor. The steps were narrow and the risers were extra high and not all the same height so I tripped on one step several times. So getting up in the night to use the bath was rather a nuisance.
The downstairs TV was difficult to use. It took me two days of emails to figure it out. I'm a boomer and did not know from Apple TV or a receiver. The TV was mostly in Spanish but it did have Netflix which I dearly love and wanted to receive it downstairs because I'm traveling alone and it's complany/entertainment. I read as well but not all the time. The design of the living room is a bit awkward making a tricky TV (for me) not as comfortable seating wise as I would have liked. None of these were deal breakers however.
