Magnalia Vacation Home

The location of the property is closed to the town where the stores and restaurants are located. The property was well maintained. Nela was so attentive with our needs if ever I reached out to her. Even before our arrival I already communicated with Nela with questions and she always replied to my inquiry. Very professional to deal with.

Great house, just as described. Worked perfectly for our family of 4.

No fault at all ofthe owners but I can’t speak to the view. I was a bit disappointed because part of the reason we booked was for the view and hanging out in the pool to see the volcano. Unfortunately, all three of the nights we were there, it was heavy rain and flooding. (We made the most of it and still had a nice time!). If it were not raining, I think the covered patio with ample seating and pool would be fantastic. The location is nice, not too far from the main town and we felt safe. If we return, I would stay again and hope for better weather. The house was clean and well maintained. The humming birds still flew around and under the lush gardens so we were able to enjoy that! The flowers along the path to enter the house are very pretty. The host answered any questions I had quickly and gave nice recommendations.

The main house was wonderful - safe, private, away from the noise of downtown, terrific views, comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms. Clean, good plumbing, hot water, good stovetop, refreshing pool, beautiful greenery. Our friends stayed in the main house and had a great experience. The host was helpful with directions, local activities, restaurant and supermarket recommendations. It is easier to find during the day; a bit more challenging at night but we did it with help from the host. The cabina, however, is not good. There is no hot water to the sink or shower. They have a showerhead hot water heater, but we could not get it to work. We had to shower in the main house. There is no door on the bathroom, so if you want any privacy, the other person has to leave the room (doable during the day; more problematic at night - and turning on the light will wake the other sleeping person). And unless the shades are drawn, people at the pool and even in the main house can see into the bathroom. Outside - the cushions on the recliners are moldy and the ones on the table are beyond worn. The pool is lovely!Bottom line is - if you only plan to use the main house, this is a great place. But if you have people in your group who are hoping to use the cabina as a living space - make sure you know what you're signing up for.
