San Andres Residential House

JacquelynRating, 5 stars7 months ago

We had a wonderful stay with our family! The house and pool were fantastic, and the neighborhood was so charming. Zinnia was an amazing host—super attentive and always ready to help. When we needed to extend our stay and add an extra person, she made it all so easy. We loved every part of our visit, from the cozy house to the friendly neighborhood and Zinnia's warm hospitality.

Casablanca-San Miguel

JanetRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Jannet was extremely responsive from check in to out. Her home was beautiful, it is not perfect for those who want to be close to the family or friends nearby. She provided clear instructions and the electric gate was super easy to use. I loved that the tv already had Netflix for my family to watch already. The WiFi was great plus the extenders was an added bonus to help the bedrooms further away from the main router.
