Very responsive and helpful to our requests and questions; Large spacious private villa; All 4 couples had their own bedroom with private bath and safe; Pool was clean and refreshing; Walking distance to: a nice small beach (Laguna, not Sosua); a few restaurants and Ocean Village resort; Loved nearby Sosua and Cabaret for beach, eats (Waterfront restaurant was the best), drinks and shopping; Cons: Need to have transportation or taxi to supermarket and shopping in downtown Sosua; The faucets worked however some could be updated; ##### Marilyn W.

I had a great time in this beautiful villa! The staff was awesome. Very kind, caring and in top of everything. The landscape was vivid with flowers, a very clean and nice pool, and a professional volleyball court. Cleanliness was an everyday thing and much appreciated. Thank you to the ENTIRE staff! ##### Napthali L. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clayton E. 9 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### AWESOME VILLA AND EXPERIENCE! We had a wonderful time staying at Shaun's villa over a recent long weekend. From start to finish, Shaun was incredibly responsive and helpful when it came to any questions we had. The villa itself vastly exceeded my expectations from the photos. Clearly very new, and there were wonderful nice touches throughout the villa. A lot of care has gone into producing a fun place to stay, and credit is due to the owners. We loved hanging out by the pool during the day, and the massive living room was perfect for our large group. Also need to acknowledge the bedrooms and bathrooms. They were huge! We all had king sized beds, and the bathrooms were very new with large, spacious showers and modern finishes. If you stay here (and you should), i highly recommend working with the chef that Shaun can provide. Andy was awesome, and helped out with so much just beyond cooking. She was highly skilled, and really fun, and our trip was so much better because of her. This house is a no brainer for large groups and I am so happy we stayed here. Will absolutely be back ##### Clayton E.
