First, the good news:
1. Silver House is beautiful! The views from virtually every room are breath-taking! It was a highlight of our trip to sit outside at different points of the day and see the sunrise or set, and even one night watch a storm making its way over the sea. The house was also very dramatically decorated in silver (of course!) and white which added to its 'luxury vacation' feeling.
2. Alejandro, who managed the property while we were there, was very responsive. There were a few issues that came up and he was helpful in resolving them.
The not-so-good-news:
1. The house is pretty dangerous for children. There are sheer drops of the cliffs and seating areas outside. Everything is white and glass, and there are lots of sharp edges and hard stairs. We didn't pick up on this enough from the photos I guess. When we arrived with two 7 year old children, we realized we would be nervous all week that they didn't break something or hurt themselves.
2. There wasn't any sort of welcome book with notes about the house or town. We felt a little bit dropped in the middle of nowhere without a guide. I would have expected instructions on how to use appliances, where to find certain items, how to get to local beaches, recommended restaurants, etc. One night the power went off and we searched for 30 minutes for the fuse box before calling Alejandro to come over. Also there is a complicated shade system (so many windows!) with a few remote controls in each room that were not labeled or explained.
3.There was hardly a garbage bag or roll of toilet paper in the house and not enough linens for every guest. So, immediately upon getting there we had to head out. It would have been nice to have a few basics provided so that we could have settled in a little before going out.
So, overall it is a great house in a fantastic location and we enjoyed our stay. However, it is not inexpensive and we were expecting a little bit more from the rental than we received.
