It was just enough for our big family. 4 bedrooms that had king size bed. One bedroom with queen bunk bed. They had a high chair. Swimming pool is huge. Grill is a big plus! Plates and cups were cracked and not enough. Could use a kettle which was missing.

Absolutely enjoyed my stay here while celebrating my bachelorette trip. The house was spacious with plenty of bathrooms for me and my friends to get ready. The pool was clean and we only had a short walk to the beach. I only had a small problem with the dryer that was an easy fix, when I reached out to the host they responded fast and was super helpful. Highly recommend staying here!

Overall the space was spectacular. Exceeded my expectations in many ways in terms of layout, square footage, and functionality. My complaints come from a lack of basic necessities. We were not provided with an adequate amount of toilet paper, paper towels, or trash bags. Also, we would’ve liked the benefit of some beach towels being provided to us for use. Not a huge deal just maybe something I wish was clarified in the listing. Of course, I could’ve also asked if towels were provided so again not a major complaint.

I’ll start with my one gripe, the metal pool chairs are useless. Throw them away. The pool chairs with the fabric are great. This house was perfect for 7 adults and 6 kids ranging from 2month to 6 years old. The pool was fantastic. The functionality of the living room and kitchen was perfect. The quality of the home is very nice. What I mean to say is, the doors are solid wood, and sound doesn’t travel. The alarm system was easy to use and great. However, it’s my personal opinion that the metal latches in the sliding doors could be moved up 2 feet or so. My kids could easily unlatch it. The distance to the beach was incredibly convenient as well as other near by shops/bars/restaurants. There could have been a nuclear fall out and I still would have given this place 5 stars simply because the little patch of grass by the front door was easily the nicest grass to ever grace the bottoms of my feet. The driveway easily fit 4 vehicles. The neighborhood was not quiet but people are on vacation and having fun. If loud music upsets you then I’d consider a different place. Other than that it’s a 10/10. Great stay. We come to Miramar every year, sometimes twice a year and we get a different place each time, this was by far the best so far.

Our stay was great! Host was extremely quick with responses when I thought there was an issue with the pool heater (there ended up not being an “issue”, it was just turned on later in the day - which we were completely ok with). However, they went over and above and refunded 1 day of the pool heating fee - which was completely unexpected!
