Perfect!
The Playa Tortuga was just wonderful! It was our first Vrbo experience and it has set a high bar of expectation! The decor was beautiful and modern; you can tell that the owners truly care about the place and the renters experience. It was spotlessly clean. The communication with the owners was quick and easy and they were super nice! The owners had a help yourself area with some treats and hot chocolate/tea that were a hit with our kids. The kitchen was amazingly stocked with all the kitchen things youā€™d need! The bathroom even had a supply of over the counter meds that were in a childproof container. The bathrooms had great light up mirrors. The towels were soft and cozy. There is an air mattress and extra sheets/blankets available. There were many family games and kids books which was a hit with us and we played games- the kids didnā€™t want their gadgets! In fact, two of our kids even asked if we were living here now and didnā€™t want to leave! It was cold when we stayed but there are beach chairs, life jackets, and some beach toys available. Overall, it was an amazing experience and we will be return customers for sure!
