Tropical Dream Villas are centrally located, in a quiet area of San Pedro. The beach is a 5-minute walk, & downtown s 15-minute walk. Brian & Lisa are the best hosts ever, & provide excellent hospitality, as well as tips & information on every question you could ask about the area.
They arranged for a taxi to meet us at airport upon arrival, & Brian was waiting for us, to introduce us to our home for the next 10 days. They have an informative welcome manual, filled with ideas on where to eat, what to do, etc., etc. Villa kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, even to cook a full course meal. The grocery store is just a couple of blocks away, & there is a produce stand about 1 1/2 blocks away.
The bedroom has a comfy, King-size bed, & the sheets are luxurious. The A/C is in the bedroom. (Kitchen & living room area have fans).
Bathroom is updated. Lots of hot water in shower, but takes a couple of minutes to heat up.
Twice a week they host Appetizer Hour, on the 3rd floor deck (which guests can use any time). This allows you to meet other guests, & to get to know Brian & Lisa better, as well. They also take their guests to Trivia Night (at the Truck Stop) every Thursday.....& Brian’s Team usually come home winners. We were sorry to miss it, but had a music event to attend that evening.
We decided to rent golf carts for a couple of days, to go to North Island, & Lisa arranged that for us. Carts were delivered (& later picked up) right outside our door. The gas station is a block away. My husband wanted to do some laundry while we were there ........& though there is a washer & dryer at the property, there was no scent-free detergent, which my husband needs. Lisa called around & found a laundry service that had some. We had turned our cart in when the laundry was ready, so Lisa offered to drive over & pick it up herself, for us. Above & beyond service!
There are many places to eat downtown; but, if you don’t feel like going too far, A Taste of Thailand - excellent- is next door, & Crazy Canucks & Pepperoni’s Pizza are both a 5-minute walk.
We were at TDV on Super Bowl Sunday, & Lisa & Brian threw a Super Bowl Party, to which all their guests (as well as their friends) were invited. It was so much fun! Lisa & Brian were the perfect hosts, & having moved to San Pedro from Missouri were “over the moon” when the Kansas City Chiefs won!
When, sadly, it was time to leave, Lisa arranged for our taxi back to the airport, & also came downstairs herself to say goodbye.
We would highly recommend this “home away from home” in San Pedro. Lisa & Brian are the best! We hope to return one day, for another visit. If being directly on the beach is not a priority, you couldn’t find a better, more reasonable place to stay in San Pedro. Thank you, Lisa & Brian!
