Robert was a great host and very responsive. The view of the mountains behind the canal is great during the day and at night. The space is stylish and there is plenty of room for the sleeping arrangements for the number of guests allowed. One of the best features for our family of six was the washer/dryer, and all the beach equipment (chairs, mats, towels, toys, body boards, cooler, etc...). The parking was excellent as well. We felt very safe in the building and the folks who worked in Monte Vista were great too. I highly recommend this rental.
