This property which is totally misrepresented on Vrbo website. The property is on two levels which can, we understand, be let separately. Before booking we asked the owner if the quoted price was ‘for the whole property’ and received a reply affirming this. On that basis we made this booking. On arrival we contacted the owner only to be told the upper level was private and not part of the rental. The website clearly shows many pictures of the upper level. Owner has been living in the upper level whilst we were here - had we known this would be the case we would absolutely NOT have rented this property. The lower level only allowed access from the hallway to the living space by walking through one of the bedrooms. The other main bedroom was separate from the rest of area, had no central heating and looked out on to the car parking area. The property was advertised with parking but we had to keep in touch with the owner to ensure space was available when we needed it. On several occasions parking was not available as the owner’s visitors parked there. The weather was unseasonably cold but the central heating was unreliable - we had to contact the owner a number of times to reset the boiler as this was located in the ‘private‘ upper level. In addition it seemed to be set to a low temperature and switched on at strange times. Satellite TV was supposed to be available but none of the channels available had been subscribed to and so no TV was available to watch. We were surprised not to have a ‘welcome pack’ with some basic supplies - we arrived late evening due to flight delays and would have appreciated this. Also missing was basic information about the property, how to operate appliances etc. The oven was operated by navigating through computer style menus all in Spanish! Communication with the owner was unfortunately a little difficult as we spoke no Spanish - we made do with pidgin French and Google Translate! Despite all this the location of the property is ideal but it is not 5*, with care and attention it could be! All in all this was not the property or experience we expected and had paid for. It has proved impossible to contact Vrbo to feed back this information hence the lengthy review!

Bien situé Jardin agréable et très beau au pied de la plage Bien équipé

Wir sind mit dem Aufenthalt in dieser Erdgeschosswohnung (im Inserat bei FeWo etwas übertrieben als "Villa" bezeichnet) sehr zufrieden gewesen. Imponiert die hervorragende Lage direkt am Strand mit dem Vorteil im mit Palmen, Kakteen und Hiazinten gezierten Vorgarten des lässigen Outfits zu frühstücken, der unmittelbaren Nähe zur Promenade mit der Möglichkeit abends im exbelibigen Restaurant mit Ausblick zum Meer das Essen und den guten Wein zu genießen, der Nähe zu der Kaufstrasse, und dem Nachteil dass manche Passanten voyeuristisch werden können. Die Wohnung hat gute Atmosphere der Gemütlichkeit, Wärme. Die Besitzerin des Hauses Cristina ist sehr sympatisch, des guten Herzens und immer freundlich gewesen. Wir haben uns gefühlt wie Zuhause, gut erholt und freuen uns auf baldiges Wiedersehen.

Great location on the beach and surrounded by shops and restaurants. Lovely garden. Beautiful quiet mornings. Would highly recommend.

Très belle maison pied dans l’eau. Hôte agréable au petit soins We will back!

Comme d’habitude nous avons passé un agréable moment . Superbe villa dans un emplacement exceptionnel et d’une propreté irréprochable . Et toujours la gentillesse et l’attention de Cristina . On reviendra...

As the saying goes, "location, location, location". It is perfect. Right on the beach front. A 3 minute stroll to the main street but so quiet with no noisy passing traffic. Large space inside and out. Private parking on site. We would go back.

What a wonderful time we had enjoying our secure gated 5 day oasis on this ocean beach property. Lots of room. Everyone slept well. Not normal for us. Fashionably appointed, and clean. We had so much to do around Costa Brava, we never turned on the TV to search for an English station. Cristina was always available via text with answers to our questions and even showed up 30 minutes after we texted her with a handyman who got the clothes washer going for us, and instructed us on how to use the oven/stove. Yep the stove. We all use gas and of course it was electric. But we adapted. Lots of shops in town. Nice promenade for people watching both on the Main Street and of course the boardwalk right in front of the property. The walled enclosure gave us our privacy when we wanted to chill. The patio was great along viewing the sunrises. Thanks Cristina.

Wir waren mit unseren beiden Kindern 1 und 4 Jahre alt, für 20 Tage in Christinas Haus. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit. Die Lage des Hauses könnte kaum besser sein. In die „Stadtmitte“ sind es rund 100 Meter und zum Strand wahrscheinlich weniger als 10 Meter. Der sehr schön angelegte Garten lädt zum verweilen ein. Jeden Abend saßen wir im Garten und haben die lauen Sommernächte genossen, während unsere Kinder schliefen. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet, es fehlte uns an nichts. Christina war immer sehr Hilfsbereit wenn es um Ausflugstipps oder Fragen zum Haus ging. Sie war stets erreichbar für uns. Wenn man mal keine Lust auf den Strand direkt am Haus hat, gibt es in ca. 15 Minuten Fußweg einige Buchten die unglaublich schön sind. Hätten wir so toll ehrlich gesagt nicht erwartet. Für uns sicher nicht der letzte Besuch in Christinas Haus. Die Aufteilung der Wohnung ist wie folgt. 1 Zimmer mit Doppelbett und Dusche ist durch den Flur des Hauses getrennt. In der anderen Wohnung ist ein Doppelzimmer, ein Kinderzimmer mit Stockbett, ein Wohnzimmer mit Sofa, ein Badezimmer, eine Essküche. Durch den Wintergaten ist es zu jeder Tageszeit sehr hell in der Küche und im Wohnzimmer. Danke für den schönen Urlaub. Grüße, René, Sarah, Selma & Carla

Maison strictement conforme à l annonce idéalement située , et très bien équipée. un propriétaire prévenant extrêmement réactif avant et durant votre séjour. Honnêtement rien à redire !!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à playa d'Aro. La maison est idéalement située..Proche de tout. Tout est de qualité dans la maison, litterie,douche et sanitaires, cuisine, mobilier de jardin etc etc... Sans oublier Cristina pour son accueil et sa disponibilité à la moindre question.. Merci Cristina

Que dire mise à part la perfection !! Maison splendide, vue mer à couper le souffle, localisation dans Playa impeccable !!! Et Cristina est une hôte adorable, qui aime faire plaisir et recevoir. C’est un plaisir d'échanger Avec elle !! Et le parking un vrai plus !! Nous espérons pouvoir y revenir un jour !!

Das Haus ist wunderbar gelegen. Direkt am Strand und mit grandioser Meersicht! Die Ausstattung lässt nichts zu wünschen übrig... Bei Fragen oder Problemen wurde unverzüglich und rasch geholfen! Wir werden das Haus/Wohnung gerne weiter empfehlen und auch wieder selber wiederkommen...

Rare maison à Platja d’Aro qui permait d’avoir directement une merveilleuse perspective sur la plage et la mer Méditerranée +++

Er was alleen een gedeelte niet toegankelijk wat wel op de foto’s en in de beschrijving stond. Verhuurder spreekt geen Engels en communiceert in het Spaans wat het wel lastig maakt om vragen te stellen. Sleutel overdracht ging super snel en ook vertrek perfect geregeld. Zou wel een keer terug willen. Dank je wel Christina.

Cette maison est superbe , moderne , avec tout le confort, à 2 pas du centre ville, des restaurants, des magasins. Sur la plage mais avec une vue mer mais aussi sur des pins maritimes magnifiques. Une très belle terrasse …. Très bien entretenue et Cristina la propriétaire très à l'écoute et très sympath. A revivre. CHANTAL ET SERGE

We had a wonderful time relaxing in this well-equipped home and loved that we could walk out the gate and be in the sand on the sea. The home was very clean and comfortable. Parking at the rear was a fantastic bonus. Dining and entertainment was close by and it was a five minute walk up to the main "strip"; grocery stores, bakery, and meat markets were also an easy walk - less than 10 minutes. Our host was available and responsive to answer any questions. Highly recommend!

Maison très confortable, spacieuse, très bien équipée. Un cadre parfait pour passer de très belles vacances. Merci Christina. On reviendra.

Mi estancia de mi familia y mía de 10, tocando a la playa y en pleno centro, cómoda y con un jardín con muchas plantas, con parking para 2 coches

The house is in a great location, right on the beach but also very close ot the town and with lot so restuarants nearby and well equipped. The garden is lovely and a great place to sit in the shade. Cristina was very good at attending to any issues. The only criticisms I have are that the description of the lower flat did not include that the suite is connected to the rest of the flat through the main entrance which is shared. Meaning our elderly parents had to lock and unlock doors to come into the main flat. This was very inconvenient, especially since we had only one set of keys. A better description and more keys would have been useful. Finally the alarm on the property went off, there were no instructiosn on how to turn it off. That would have been useful.

Cute casita right on Boardwalk and Beach in a quiet corner of Platja d'Aro. We loved our privacy, the daily sunrise and moonrise from our garden, It was an easy walk to all the restaurants and designer stores, and then a quick return to our peaceful abode. It is located only minutes from highway and thus gave us full access to the other Costa Brava towns. Will certainly be returning! N

Cristina's place is the best!! Incredible location by a beautiful beach. Much more better that seen in photographs. Confortable, newly equiped and decorated. Everything is perfect. Cristina is very kind and responsable. Gave us quickly attention to our questions and a warm treatment. She, and her house, made us feel at home, in family. Playa D'Aro is a perfect place to have beach vacation, close to every place in Costa Brava. We deffinitly recommend it!!

We traveled a family of 4 (2 boys 14 and 12). The house location was perfect. Right on the beach and 50m from the main streets with all the restaurants, bars, shops,... Cristina was very helpful and easy to deal with. They were waiting for us upon arrival and were very helpful. The beach was beautiful and Play D'Aro was fun, safe and full of great restaurants. Strongly recommend the area and especially the house as the location and quality were perfect.

Rested in this place for 11 days. I liked it very much. Nice house, 3 bedrooms and living room with kitchen, full furnishing, everything you need for a good rest. Value for money is very good. The meeting and departure were well organized. There were 2 small minuses: in one room the air conditioner did not work and slow WI-Fi . In general, everything was great!
