This house is as pretty as the photos! The view is gorgeous and is what all the cruise ship passengers are looking for. The privacy gate is nice and our family felt like this was our special home for 7 days in August.
Water scarcity is a fact on Santorini. Reading previous reviews worried us, and you do have to make the best of it each day. As the week progressed we became accustomed to grabbing quick showers when water was available. The bathroom next to the kitchen has better pressure. The jacuzzi felt warm but is not situated in a spot near the view (and too close to the tourist path) so we didn’t use it.
We visited mid August out of necessity. The cruise ship crowds are overwhelming. The few times we could walk around Oia without the masses of people were delightful. During peak cruise ship time we tried to explore the rest of the island. If we go again, we will choose an off season time of year.
Mary was more than helpful all week with anything that we needed. Her recommendations were perfect for our family. She coordinated rental cars, reservations, etc all week and was always available by text.
