The house is extremely clean, fully equipped, and cozy—it truly felt like a home away from home. The entire location is very private, and the outdoor space is beautifully landscaped and perfect for relaxing.It’s in a fantastic area, just a short walk to Butterfly Beach and Coast Village, where you’ll find a great selection of restaurants, shops, and bars. The house came with beach chairs and umbrellas, which made our beach days even easier.At first, we were a bit concerned about the proximity to the highway, but there was absolutely no noise at any time during our stay—it was peaceful and quiet throughout.The high-speed internet was excellent—we were even able to get some work done during our stay. In the evenings, we enjoyed winding down by the fireplace watching TV, which made the space feel even cozier.Adham, the host, was extremely responsive and helpful. He also recommended using ResortPass to access the amenities at the Rosewood Miramar Resort, which was a wonderful bonus.Highly recommend this place—would definitely stay again! ##### Evgeniya Z.
