La Percha Review
Submitted: January 2, 2013
Stayed: December 2012
We had a great say at Villa La Percha. Kerry, our EDH contact handled every detail. The location of the home is wonderful and it is furnished tastefully and comfortably. As someone who likes to cook, I would have appreciated a gas stove in the kitchen and the outside grill has seen better days. I admit that I am used to a Weber Summit gas grill which is the kind of top of the line appliance I would expect in a home like La Percha. The other missing piece was a foot shower/washing area in the drive way to clean the sand from the beach off. As the home is across the street from a wonderful beach (Taylor Bay), I'd think this would be a no brainer. I know that other homes on the street have this feature anf I think it could be easily added to La Percha. We did not use the fire pit in part because the gas shut off is inconveniently located behind the grilling station. It's hard to find in the dark. It looks like there was once a switch at the pit and it would be great if that could be restored to operation. I would also suggest purchasing standard beach chairs that are light and easy to carry over to Taylor Bay. There were only three camp type chairs that were heavy and cumbersome. I think in the case of beach chairs, simple and easy is better. I would also suggest having enough for every guest. If the home accommodates 8, then there should be 8 beach chairs. A small detail that will make a big difference. Aside from these small details, we had a wonderful visit and would recommend La Percha and EDH to anyone looking for a relaxing get a way in the Truks.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your review. We greatly appreciate the time you took to provide feedback. We're happy to know you had a wonderful time and would recommend Villa La Percha to other vacationers.
We've followed up on your suggestions and wanted to share our progress. While this is the first request we have received, a foot shower at La Percha is officially on the list for consideration. Additionally, we have already ordered four folding chairs and they will be waiting for you on your next stay with us!
The outdoor grill was in need of repairs and those have been taken care of. Regarding the fire pit, after many attempts to adjust it, we decided to remove the auto light feature when it proved too problematic to use given the breezes on the island. We found that lighting the pit manually actually worked much better. We are happy to help with this if you should have any trouble at all.
Again, thank you for your kind words and thoughtful suggestions. Our goal is to provide our guests with the best possible experience at our homes.
