Lovely stay

The house was extremely difficult to find and the instructions could have been much easier. However, once we had spoken to the owner and found the house keeper, everything was perfect. The house is very close to all amenities and had an amazing view and a beautifully clean private pool. The house was spotless and everything worked. There was no air conditioning but this was not a problem for us because it was not too hot. Inside the house it is silent, but outside there is alot of road noise. The beautiful views and a private staircase to the promenade which even has a beach were particularly lovely touches.Thank you.

We were given a hot plate.Also, we had water intrusion after a wind and rain event which could have been dangerous with tile floors in the night

A little slice of heaven

We love Santa Cruz and the little village with small shops and restaurants. This house is an easy walk to the village and is right on the ocean. You can sleep with the sound of the waves. You also have access to a beautiful pool and spacious terrace. We did not want to leave. Carlos was easy to communicate with a Sandra (the housekeeper) looked after us very well.

Yeah nooooo

I’m extremely disappointed with our stay at this property. This was my first time using VRBO, and while my first two rentals were absolutely fantastic, this one was a nightmare from start to finish.The listing was misleading, implying that we’d have access to the entire house. In reality, we were staying in the basement of the home, which was not made clear in the description. Additionally, the listing fails to mention just how close the property is to the airport and the highway. You can literally see the runway from the backyard, and planes are landing right outside your back door. The property is also situated directly on the highway offramp, and while the sound of the ocean is nice, it doesn’t drown out the constant noise—or mask the smell—of highway traffic.The issues with the property itself were extensive:-Mold and odor: There was a strong smell of mold, particularly in one bathroom, making it difficult to feel comfortable or safe in the space.-Pests: The property had an ant problem and bugs throughout, which was unsettling and unsanitary.-Disrepair: Parts of the ceiling were coming apart, and various fixtures and hardware were in visible disrepair-Plumbing failures: One toilet stopped working entirely on the second day of our stay. By the next day, the only remaining toilet also stopped working.-Loss of water supply: On our last day, the property lost all water entirely. We were forced to heat water from the pool just to take a shower for a very early flight

Stunning location but very disappointing house.

The seafront location, a short walk away from a lovely little town with great restaurants, is just superb. However, once inside the house it is very disappointing. The house was obviously once wonderful but it now needs a great deal of work and was not up to our standards at all. The furnishings are old ikea, the linens and dishes are a mishmash and there was absolutely no basics other than toilet paper, and a little hand and dish soap. There was not even salt and pepper in the kitchen. There is no proper oven, no washing machine (I would certainly have expected this and it was a big loss), not even a decent coffee maker that didn’t leak. Both bathrooms need updated plumbing. There was no information about the area except for a collection of old brochures that previous guests obviously left. The place is very spacious and it was clean. We were welcomed by the housekeeper who we only saw on one other occasion but she was back to see us off. We felt that the price was really high for what we got. On top of this we were charged for an “additional person” even though we communicated more than once that there were just two of us. I really don’t like writing negative reviews but I read reviews carefully when selecting a place. There were 16 reviews each with 5* which is why I chose this spot. I seriously don’t think that is the case anymore.

Beautiful property

Isabel sent detailed maps to get to her home. It’s less than 10 minutes from the airport. Alas, we went around several times because number 51 is not posted on street level. Turn right before the house with a green roof. We were met by delightful Sandra who is also an impeccable housekeeper. Everything is spotless and fresh. The property has a large beautiful pool and private secured access to a rocky beach. The VRBO apartment downstairs from the owner’s home was spacious and had tv’s in the living area and 2 bedrooms. It is a 20 Minute walk to restaurants and lovely pastry shop. We did not use the kitchen except for coffee because prices to eat out are very reasonable. We are very happy we stayed here and recommend all aspects of this rental.

Beautiful Place; wonderful location

We stayed for 7 nights in January. Everything was excellent and exactly as described. We got immediate responses all to our questions and the housekeeper was very sweet and accommodating. We had everything we needed. The house is very easy to find. Sunrises are spectacular over the ocean and views are wonderful. There is a lovely cement promenade along the ocean from the property so you can park and walk to restaurants, shops and grocery stores in Santa Cruz. It’s very secure and gated although it’s in a very safe place. We never felt uncomfortable anywhere we walked. We would definitely stay again.

Spacious villa in excellent location

Thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay at Isabel's villa. Wonderful location so close to the airport enabling sight of aircraft approaching runway. Close to shops, restaurants etc. Everyone very friendly and helpful. Communication with Isabel excellent. Very interesting island, definitely worth hiring a car to visit north coast. The villa pool is fantastic being of large size and overlooking the coast. Overall, we had a great time and are looking to return next year.

Excellent, clean & well maintained, great pool and BBQ and only a short walk to a well stocked market in Santa Cruz for good fresh fish, fruit and vegetable as well as a good range of bars and restaurants. It is a bit close to the flightpath so the planes can be a bit noisy, but there aren't too many flights and we were out most days so this wasn't a problem for us. All in all we had a superb holiday and this property suited us fine, thank you.

The house is well equipped and clean. The pool is amazing - we spent many afternoons enjoying it in the hot sun with a beer in hand :).

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house. The terrace with pool in a prime location with direct access to the promenade was truly impressive. We wished we have had something like a roof or rain protection at the terrace. Unfortunately, we had bad luck that the dishwasher was broken and the stove broke down the last night. However, the communication with our hosts and their helpfulness were excellent. We would come back on our next vacation, it was wonderful here!
