Thank you so much, Esther, for the lovely home. Our vacation was wonderful. We had 9 people staying and there was still room left for at least 5 more people (as well as space to put air mattresses for more people if wanted). It was spacious and almost everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. We had everything we needed from towels to toiletries. Having the kitchen upstairs right next to the big balcony was a treat, and we ate most of our meals outside in the lovely weather with a spectacular view of the city and skyline. The furniture outside on the balcony and near the fountain downstairs was very comfortable and we enjoyed it a lot. The house was pleasantly large and bright, and had a fresh ocean breeze from the open windows. The outside shower was used after swimming in the warm ocean water and walking on the beach. Our kids loved the jacuzzi and community pool. We bought a lot of produce in nearby stores like Calimax and Costco. We mostly cooked our own food and we had all the kitchen appliances we needed for that (except metal cooking sheets for the oven). We really enjoyed the griddle that was provided. Make sure that you have your own water for cooking (thank you so much Esther for providing us with two cases of water bottles from Costco!)
We were also surprised and pleased with the 24 hour security that made us feel very safe.
There were quite a bit of mosquitoes after sunset, so make sure you bring bug repellent with you (we drove to Calimax and bought an outlet plug-in bug repellent for each room and after that the mosquitoes weren’t a problem).
We think Esther has the best beach house out of all the ones we looked at. Overall, we had a blast and plan to come back.
Thank you, again, so much!
