Great stay at Villa Fina. Location cannot be beat, 5 min walk to a beautiful beach. We spent many hours in the private pool. House was clean and well stoked for a small group. ##### Christy B.

Idéalement placé pour aller visiter le pays. Les extérieurs de la maison sont top pour y vivre tout le temps dehors (piscine, grandes tables, hamacs). La maison est bien faite, juste un peu vetuste par endroit. Des soucis de propreté et de draps à l'arrivée mais notre hôte à fait le nécessaire dès le lendemain. ##### Amandine L.

My wife and I stayed here January through March and enjoyed being able spend most of our time in the yard. The owners do have employes that maintain the yard and pool but were willing to let us pick the chores we wanted to do. We watered the lawn and flowers did a little touch up painting and cleaned the pool daily. The things we didn't want to do or couldn't were taken care of by the hired staff. The few times we had issues with the house which are to be expected with any house of that size were taken care of in a timely manner. The house had fully stocked kitchen with newer appliances. The town of Coronado is 15 min away and has everything you need and there are plenty of cabs to get you there and back. If you choose to have someone else do the cooking you may want to rent a car. There are plenty of restaurants but they are not close. All of the touristy things are also a ways from the house so again you may want a car depending on your length of stay. This is our 4th VRBO and far exceeds any other. Our host have set a new height for bar. Ronald Schmitz Cold Spring Minnesota USA ##### ronald S.
