We spent a week at the property in Spring 2016 and had the most comfortable stay. The house itself has just been exquisitely remodeled with lots of attention to detail by the owner and a very tasteful interior. Kitchen and baths are superb and we really felt like in a private place, not a vacation home. This is what makes the difference about this place. We have rented many houses before and none was as comfortably and really "homey" as this one.
The kids enjoyed the pool and the close-by beach of "Platja Castell", a nature reserve gem, which is funded by the moderately priced paid parking. The place is set on a quiet hill with supermarkets, bakery etc. nearby. Since the house was brand new remodeled there is nothing I can think if that would be reason for criticism. Communication with the landlord is easy and all was handled correct and easy.
The area around Palamós, Begur and Palafrugell is very nice for cycling, windsurfing, sailing and general beach vacation. Lots of small cove-style beaches to try out and a trip to Gerona (30 mins) or Barcelona (90 mins) can bring the City-Vibe if you miss it after too much sun and beach. Nice shopping to be found in Palamos And Platja d'Aro. One final tip if you rent the house: Make sure to shop for a romantic dinner and eat it in the evening by the colorful illuminated pool with the great panorama. Maybe add some music and there you have your unforgettable moment ;-)
