I highly recommend this place. It is very nice, private, and secure. It looks exactly like the photos. The house is well-equipped and has all the essentials for a very comfortable stay. Communication with the hosts was very pleasant, and they were always attentive. The directions for arrival and the check-in process were very helpful. I would definitely stay here again with my family.

My family and I stayed here. The house was fantastic. Plenty of space and the kitchen is well equipped. The pool is large and there's a gas grill, perfect for the family. The house is very secure. It's a also quick UBER ride to the beach. We would definitely rebook. 10/10

Sure, bro. I'd put it in a positive and fair way, mentioning the noise as constructive feedback and not as a strong complaint: Very good experience overall. The place was very clean, check-in was easy, and the location is very convenient. The only point for improvement is that we felt there was a lot of emphasis on the warnings about noise. We fully understand that there are rules to respect the neighbors, but the way and frequency with which they are mentioned can make you feel a bit worried about making noise, even with normal things, like playing music at a reasonable volume. Other than that, everything was great, and we enjoyed our stay. Recommended! This way it's fair: it acknowledges that the rule makes sense, but conveys that the insistence made the stay feel a bit less relaxing.
