We'll be back ~ Amazingly beautiful, relaxing & first class!!
The listing/photos were exactly as described & judging by all the reviews, everyone feels the same! We were celebrating my hubby's 50th birthday & Barb & Barry had decorated the palapa with balloons & streamers-how thoughtful is that, it made my hubby feel so special!! We had such wonderful time at Villa Santa Barbara ..... super clean, first class Villa, the beds were soooo comfy, just like home & the suites are well equipped with everything you will need. Peaceful & quiet location, yet so close to town & excellent beaches, we walked everywhere. Barb & Barry were always available for questions/good restaurants to visit, etc., but were not intrusive at all to our privacy. We felt so exceptionally safe here (all the hype from the media is exaggerated & over the top). The hosts Barb & Barry really go out of there way to make sure you are comfortable, they go above & beyond & make sure you have everything you need, they even went to town to pick us up wine and groceries when we ran out. When we arrived there was food in our fridge & our hosts even made us breakfast!! The air conditioning works great, but we really only needed it a couple of nights, as the tropical breeze at night was perfect. There is a french baker that comes by the Villa on his boat every morning with freshly homemade croissants, breads & goodies. The only negative thing we can say is we wished we had booked for longer, a week was not enough for us. Dora (Raul the caretakers wife) made us all a wonderful Mexican dinner & it was worth every penny!! We hired Raul who took us out to the ocean where we saw turtles & dolphins~was so amazing!! Where can you stay & get all that...we are already planning our stay in 2013 and plan on making this our yearly vacation spot!! Thanks again Barb & Barry for making our stay so comfortable!! And we will be checking out your vacation rental in Gibsons, BC this summer as well. Cheers!!
