The house is fantastic. Three well separated ensuite bedrooms made for privacy for all of our adult family as well as multiple livings spaces/televisions and outdoor areas with plenty of seating options.
Per the description, the kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cooking appliances (blender, coffee maker, rice cooker, large pots, many utensils, toaster). Perhaps my idea of a 'well stocked pantry' is different - guests who plan to eat and cook in the unit may want to pick up what seasonings they require including salt (there was only a tiny bit) and pepper. A container of olive oil was provided as well as some coffee filters and sugar packets.
Check in was easy and no nonsense - they send a code and you walk in independently which we really appreciated rather than someone showing up to introduce us to the house - we like to do that our own. The code made it easy for everyone to come and go. There was a mild mildewy smell upon entering (mostly coming from the front closet which by the way has a safe) but after a while it's no longer noticeable. The grill can use some attention - the heat wasn't working ideally.
Linens and towels very clean and nice quality, comfortable furniture, CLEAN house. Bathroom products, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, and laundry powder provided. Having the washer/dryer is so helpful in a balmy climate. Housekeeping came twice, and yard/pool guy came a couple of times.
The resort itself is great - our second visit to Reserva Conchal - the Beach Club has great food and service, the beach is flat out one of the most beautiful we've seen, the W hotel is nearby for dining, and the shops at the Westin are accessible.
We rented a golf cart from Flamingo Beach Golf Carts - Chip brings the cart to your door, will come with fuel if you need more, and has some great tips for the area.
We're thankful the owner was willing to share their beautiful vacation home.
