10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Pool, hot tub, fire pit, and more! Aqua La Vista

8/10 Good

"Overall because of pool, pool table and video games, plus pool and hot tub, this place worked. Kitchen pretty complete. Midway through week pool filter stopped working and took 2 days for repair to come. Clean enough but outside windows, especially at front were dirty and made poor initial impression. Room for washer, dryer was welcome and both units worked well. I'm used to a welcoming booklet explaining how TV, etc. worked with suggestions for restaurants etc. Makes a nice impression. There was no such booklet. Also there were 8 trash barrels that we were asked to bring in down steep path. Bathrooms were clean and very good. Overall it worked with this group of 4 student ages 17-2 plus 5 adults ."

Cheerful 4 bedroom

10/10 Excellent

"The house was setup exactly as expected, very clean and perfect for our quick trip. Everything was very easy from check-in to check-out."
