Very nice place in a quiet neighborhood. Everything was as described.

Power was out when we arrived (there'd been a bad storm the night before). We had to drive back to town to get reception in order to call & see what to do. The nice lady who answered the phone (I'm sorry I forgot her name) was extremely helpful & understanding. The power ended up coming back on an hour or two later & there were no further big problems, but we really appreciated the responsiveness.The space was really nice & cozy, the yard & setting are gorgeous, & the hot tub & fire were delightful on the cold nights.One warning - don't leave any food out! We were surprised to find ants swarming our cake a little while after we'd unpacked. But we wiped them up with a soapy sponge & didn't see more than one or two scouting around after that. We had to be diligent about putting everything away or in sealed containers but it wasn't a big deal. There was some Raid under the sink but we left it alone, since spraying poison in the kitchen seemed worse than just not leaving food on the counter.One thing I would change, would be to provide better mats to wipe your shoes on when you come inside. Since it was rainy out, we were tracking in mud & leaves no matter how much we wiped our shoes on the welcome mat, we ended up sacrificing one of our towels to use as an entry rug. Similarly, something to wipe your feet on between the outdoor shower and the hot tub would keep leaves out of there as well. Overall we had a great time, would visit again.

It was a great space and location. Kids and pup had a blast. We wished it had some more comforts like coffee and soap for the showers.

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Mimosa mostly for the location and for the yard and deck. The house was nicely situated, however, it needed a GOOD cleaning. Bedding had spots, bottom sheets were not fitted so they were always a mess. The kitchen sink facet was broken,refrigerator handle on left side is broken, lights constantly flickering, and major dust behind furniture. Dining table needed a tablecloth so you didn't have to look at all the scratches and stains.Overall, a good cleaning, updated sheets, some nice dish towels and a tablecloth would have made a big difference.We enjoyed walking to the beach and walking with our dog around the neighborhood. Neighbors were nice and friendly. With as much as we paid for our stay, I expected a cleaner cabin and better supplies.We would stay again only if we knew that the cabin had had a GOOD cleaning in between guests. The cabin needs a lot of TLC.
