"Very Big and cozy. Nice stay"

"We read many reviews before arriving and came with an open mind. Some common issues mentioned by previous guests were present but mostly minor from our perspective. Communication with Raul wasn’t great at first but improved during our stay.The home is in a great location and felt very safe. The gated yard and driveway were a plus. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and outdoor grill—my son even grilled black pig one night. Each room had A/C, though one bedroom’s unit was broken. Raul couldn’t repair it during our stay, but we used a fan from the kitchen which helped.The island is humid, and we did see several cockroaches, both alive and dead. Raul said he disinfects, but roach traps might help. We also had issues with the dryer, which he replaced with a working used one.The second floor has no bathroom, but this wasn’t a problem for us as our grandkids stayed up there. Adults may find it less convenient. The primary bedroom has a jacuzzi tub, but you can’t stand in it due to the jets. There’s also a full bathroom outside.Raul kindly left fruit, water, and muffins as a welcome gift. He also asked us to pay a new tax; VRBO advised against it, but we paid it to be fair.Overall, it’s a nice home with great amenities. We enjoyed our stay despite a few minor issues."
