"Absolutely amazing stay for our family of four! Nadine and team were extremely responsive the entire time, including helping us through medical issues. :) I have never felt so personally taken care of by a team of people at a VRBO. They were extremely invested in us having a great time. It was our kids favorite place we stayed on our vacation and was extremely kid friendly. Clean, accessible and everything was so well organized. We would come back here in a heartbeat!"

"We absolutely LOVED our stay at Nya. From driving up to the beautiful property, we were hooked. When we met our first staff member who checked us in, and the server who provided a welcome cava, along with all the other Nya faces, we knew this was going to be special. We were not wrong. From the beautiful beach and stunning trail along the water, the excellent food, abundant wildlife, and wonderful accommodations, Nya never disappointed. We only wish we had a longer stay!"
