Quiet neighborhood. Grounds and pool were awesome. Well appointed interior. It had everything we needed and beaches were 7-10 minutes away. Great grocery store 7 minutes away. Easy access to all tourist destinations without the chaos or prices of a resort. We stayed over Christmas and the even brought us a Christmas treat and had decorated the villa for Christmas. We had a great stay. ##### Courtney L. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol L. 2 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### One Happy Island! Absolutely stellar experience. Beaches close by, sightseeing, restaurants and nightlife a quick ride away. Just an amazing property for a peaceful and relaxing vacation. If you are looking for beautiful well kept outside areas and wonderfully decorated interior with plenty of room to spread out this is the perfect place for you! Michele and Andy have thought of everything…and if you think of something they have missed it will be there the next day! We can’t say enough about Casa Carinosa! Best experience ever… thank you Michele and Andy! ##### Carol L.
