Overall we had a great experience and highly recommend this home. Mat’s house was lovely and very well equipped and he was very responsive and helpful.
Some of the highlights:
- Big spacious and comfortable house which is great for family shares, although the two bedrooms upstairs are adjoining so best used by one family
- Large pool which was great for swimming but worth noting that it gets deep very quickly so need to be mindful with kids
- The house has everything you need in terms of kitchen equipment, towels, laundry, and even has 2 cribs and 2 high chairs
- Very clean and well maintained with gardeners/maintenance crew available to help with any issues
- The house is well decorated and furnished. It is somewhat child- proofed with one stair gate but there are still some aspects that require attention especially with toddlers (e.g. glass shelves, open stairs, small ornaments in low shelves)
- Great outdoor spaces with large sofas and dining table, new grill and paella station and outdoor fridge which are great for enjoying the garden
- Mat was a great host. He quickly replied to all our requests and made sure we had everything we needed including a thoughtful welcome gift
- Sa Rapita is cute but very small so there isn’t much to see or do. It has basic shops (small market, pharmacy, etc) and some great restaurants - we especially enjoyed the Club Náutico and Balco de Cabrera
- There are beaches nearby but the closest one to the house is a rock beach (not very kid friendly) and to get to the sandy beach of El Trenc requires bikes or cars
- Even though the house is close to Palma and the airport, renting a car is strongly recommended to get around the island. There are tons of lovely towns, coves and beaches to visit all within an hours drive.
