A much needed fun filled stay at Casa Cosita!
The home is beautifully decorated and clean. The triple bunk beds are great when you have a large family. All appliances work and are clean and quiet. I love the larger backyard with artificial turf. I did morning yoga on the turf each morning and it was so quiet and peaceful. The kitchen had everything we need to cook our meals! Property management were easy to text and work with on any issues. You don't need a key to get in and out of the house, just a code.
Having access to the Yacht club was a true surprise and a lot of fun! They have daily events like s'mores, karaoke, etc that the whole family can enjoy! The swimming pool is nice, and the kids loved the slides!
Overall, a great experience and we'd be happy to book again.
