This was our first time renting a house for a vacation. We usually stayed in great hotel/resorts or Condos. My twins just graduated high school and my oldest graduated Graduate school. It may be our last family vacation due to college schedules and work schedules for a while. I put my kids in charge of planning a great family vacation. We saw this amazing house, but since it was less than a year old there weren't many reviews, but the reviews we saw were great. This house was amazing. It had everything you would want. Everything was gorgeous, right out of Architectural Digest. The views, the furnishing, the infinity pool, the rooftop deck... I could go on and on..
The staff was great. We communicated by email before we arrived and the fridge was fully stocked. They even got me a Thai SIM card for my iPhone which was waiting for me when we arrived from the US! They were very thoughtful and attentive.
The chef was amazing. We love going out the the best restaurants around wherever we travel, but found ourselves having them prepare most of our meals. Everything was made from scratch. I went to the fish market with the villa manager one day to see what it was all about. We got live shrimp and lobsters that were amazing. She also arranged some of our meals out and arranged for all of our transportation needs all week with the same driver.
I am a very picky dentist and find things to complain about all the time, but let me tell you that there was absolutely nothing to complain about except the one rainy day when we were on a boat trip.
You will absolutely love this house and the staff.
