Best enjoyed with friends, all the toys for fun!

MyraRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a lovely stay at Jasmine’s place! Very spacious and all the rooms are good sized. They provide (more than) enough kitchen stuff based on the advertised number of guests (e.g. plates, glasses, cups). There’s also lots of options to do (e.g. game room, TV with streaming options). Highly recommended!

Beach & waffles @papamoabeach

DanielleRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This was one of the cleanest properties we’ve ever stayed at. The house was thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need, and the attention to detail was fantastic. The outdoor shower was a great bonus, and the waffle station was such a fun and unique touch – my friend had a blast making waffles for breakfast! The outdoor area is lovely and well set up, with a BBQ that we didn’t get the chance to use on this short trip, but we’re already planning to come back. The high fences made it feel really secure, especially great for those travelling with dogs. Gerard was fantastic – super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. In terms of cleanliness, location, and amenities, this was the best place we’ve ever stayed. Can’t wait to return!

A spacious backyard features lush greenery and a hammock set between trees. A small pink tricycle rests on the grass, providing a playful touch. The area is enclosed by wooden fencing, offering privacy and a secure environment for children and pets.
