Mar 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 6 week stay I so loved my time staying in this sweet little villa. I loved the outdoor areas and the proximity to town, but with quiet at night. It was better than represented by the pictures. The house was well equipped, the management company and owner were a delight. My only suggestion would be an upgrade of mattresses. We rented a golf cart for tooling around town. It was a wonderful stay. ##### Marsha B. Stayed 40 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Giuseppe G. Aug 28, 2018 #### Excellent It was a great pleasure to stay there. All the comforts are in the house. From the washing machine to the dryer, from the towel to the ice bag for the beach to the beach, and a TV with channels from all over the world if you need it and good wifi! Everything perfectly tidy and clean. All the amenities indicated in the presentation are real. The price is justified for what is offered. Just only a ridiculous, nice and unimportant observation: plan to change the pots ;-)) They are teflon and are scratched! The result of some clients a little clumsy... Thanks, thanks again and best regards. With sympathy (sorry if some mistakes, english is not my first language...) ! ##### Giuseppe G. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alishia F. Feb 23, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The owner is a fraud The owner accepted payment but did not confirm with the hotel. I received a hotel confirmation, and when we arrived, they did not have the reservations. We had to book another room at the hotel and double pay until this matter was resolved. We tried calling the owner multiple times. She read the text messages and hung up on the hotel staff. This was the worst experience. Do not book this cabin. Horrible. I was traveling with my family (two small children ). We spent half of our first night in the hotel lobby. ##### Alishia F. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron P. Jul 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Vacation The house was nice and clean in a good neighborhood. Very easy getting into and out of, Daniela was a pleasure to work with. We plan on going back to visit again and will look to rent this property again thanks for a great time ##### Ron P. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Calm oasis We stayed here for 3 months. The house was very clean & well stocked. Any issue we had was taken care of immediately by the staff at Horizon Pacific. It was the perfect location to get away from the busy downtown & only a short walk to the beach. I would recommend this property to anyone. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 92 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ken M.
