We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location became available last minute and we jumped at the opportunity. As other reviewers stated, the house is walking steps to Miramar (dog friendly) beach. Our family enjoyed our morning walks to the beach.
The house itself is large and spacious. We had 8 adults and 3 children and had more than enough room. We traveled with three young children and felt the house and neighborhood were very safe. The only thing to mention is we had to place a baby play pen at the top of the stairs to keep the toddler from trying to go up and down the stairs constantly (since the living room and kitchen are upstairs)-so this is just a tip to future travelers with young children to think ahead for possible solutions.
The beds were SO comfy and the linens were clean and smelled very fresh. The bathrooms and common areas were clean and well maintained. Kitchen was fully stocked and spacious for cooking. There are two dining tables and bar stool seating for larger groups.
The host Andreia had stopped by at the beginning of our stay to drop off some pots and pans. She was very friendly and gave us some excellent tips on fun things to do with the kids (including the Fiterzgerald tide pools-which was the best part of our trip). Communication was easy and quick with the hosts.
We would love to stay again and truly enjoyed our trip.
