The primary bedroom is also located on the main level. It has a king bed, ensuite bathroom with a bath, walk-in wardrobe, adjoining study and direct deck access. A separate powder room is located nearby.

Lovely place, spectacular views, very close Casita Miro and Onetangi Beach

Had a great stay, lovely location. Greeted with local wine and hand made soaps. Very comfortable, aircon was appreciated although opening windows and putting mosquito deterrents on also worked well. Everything was of a high standard. Only issue we had was upstairs shower was blocked but just used the downstairs instead. Lovely big bath our 2 year old enjoyed and had a fantastic bbq dinner overlooking the wonderful vista. Price seemed on the more expensive side but was worth it for the view and location. Property manager very easy to deal with. Would recommend.

Absolutely stunning property and location, views down Onetangi made just sitting around home seem like pure luxury. Entertainers dream, but also fantastic for our kids to run around the lawn. Our two year old couldn't get enough of the outdoor shower! Thanks again or a wonderfully relaxing holiday.

ThIs property is just beautiful, not one fault. We have stayed in many places in Onetangi over the years, but this has been our best. We loved the spaciousness inside with plenty of room for us to spread out and the outdoor areas with those two stunning views....fabulous!
