Ron was very helpful and very responsive. There were minor house issues, but Ron was responsive and everything was taken care of. The house was very nice and a good location. I think a golf cart or a car is definitely necessary to get around. There were great beaches to go to and great restaurant choices.

This home is really lovely, in a great location. The pool was sparkling clean and we had a great time playing in it! All the amenities are there and the bathrooms are very nicely remodeled. The only thing I would caution is that the beds were not terribly comfortable to us and a couple of us were having to take ibuprofen for back aches. However, beds are very subjective and someone else might find them very comfy, so take that with a grain of salt. Otherwise, this was a great stay and I’d definitely recommend it and would probably stay there again!

We feel right at home. Large, clean pool and backyard that was beautiful and safe for the kids (2&4). The house was newly renovated, clean, and spacious. Two very nice and spacious bathrooms as well. New laundry which was appreciated. Beds were comfortable. Finally a very responsive and helpful host. Thank you!

Casa Rana truly felt like a home away from home, with all the essentials needed to comfortably enjoy life in such a beautiful setting. The house was very clean, the pool was amazing, and the beds were comfortable. Potrero is a wonderful town with many restaurants to choose from, or you can stay in and prepare your own meals with ease. Ron was an excellent co-host—he responded quickly to our questions, provided helpful information about the area and surrounding towns, and even assisted us in booking a beautiful catamaran sunset cruise. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at Stacie’s was perfect. A peaceful escape but still close to everything we needed. Our group of 6 had plenty of room to relax and unwind, especially in the lovely backyard with perfect temp pool and spa like atmosphere. Would definitely stay again.
