Location on the beach is excellent and garden is outstanding. First, the "check in" was difficult, as there was very little instructions in advance. In addition, there is no sort of instructions that I could find that are typical in VRBOs to tell you how to run everything in the house (TV, stove, AC...). The setup of the place, as other reviewers have mentioned, is really odd. If you are sleeping in the "master" space, you may have to walk through a shared space (with other renters), then through one of the two bedrooms in the house to get to the kitchen and living room. It was okay for us, but for some this may be awkward. Some of the keys we just couldn't get to work, so the house stayed unlocked most of the time. In addition, there are cameras all over the house, including internally that we place towels over. The owner ensured us these were only for when it was unoccupied, but we were still paranoid about it and covered them. We had no air conditioning except for a small portable which was ineffective. However, someone came the day we checked out to install new AC, so this shouldn't be a problem in the future.

Beautiful apartment in tHe perfect location
We couldn’t have been happier with property. We stayed in the ground floor apartment and the garden was absolutely perfect, plenty of space and shade; and on the beach. Christina was the perfect host, she was always available via WhatsApp and she really made us feel welcome. We would definitely book this apartment again if we went back to Platja D’Aro

Disappointed
This property which is totally misrepresented on Vrbo website. The property is on two levels which can, we understand, be let separately. Before booking we asked the owner if the quoted price was ‘for the whole property’ and received a reply affirming this. On that basis we made this booking. On arrival we contacted the owner only to be told the upper level was private and not part of the rental. The website clearly shows many pictures of the upper level. Owner has been living in the upper level whilst we were here - had we known this would be the case we would absolutely NOT have rented this property. The lower level only allowed access from the hallway to the living space by walking through one of the bedrooms. The other main bedroom was separate from the rest of area, had no central heating and looked out on to the car parking area. The property was advertised with parking but we had to keep in touch with the owner to ensure space was available when we needed it. On several occasions parking was not available as the owner’s visitors parked there. The weather was unseasonably cold but the central heating was unreliable - we had to contact the owner a number of times to reset the boiler as this was located in the ‘private‘ upper level. In addition it seemed to be set to a low temperature and switched on at strange times. Satellite TV was supposed to be available but none of the channels available had been subscribed to and so no TV was available to watch. We were surprised not to have a ‘welcome pack’ with some basic supplies - we arrived late evening due to flight delays and would have appreciated this. Also missing was basic information about the property, how to operate appliances etc. The oven was operated by navigating through computer style menus all in Spanish! Communication with the owner was unfortunately a little difficult as we spoke no Spanish - we made do with pidgin French and Google Translate! Despite all this the location of the property is ideal but it is not 5*, with care and attention it could be! All in all this was not the property or experience we expected and had paid for. It has proved impossible to contact Vrbo to feed back this information hence the lengthy review!

As the saying goes, "location, location, location". It is perfect. Right on the beach front. A 3 minute stroll to the main street but so quiet with no noisy passing traffic. Large space inside and out. Private parking on site. We would go back.

A hidden gem
What a wonderful time we had enjoying our secure gated 5 day oasis on this ocean beach property. Lots of room. Everyone slept well. Not normal for us. Fashionably appointed, and clean. We had so much to do around Costa Brava, we never turned on the TV to search for an English station. Cristina was always available via text with answers to our questions and even showed up 30 minutes after we texted her with a handyman who got the clothes washer going for us, and instructed us on how to use the oven/stove. Yep the stove. We all use gas and of course it was electric. But we adapted. Lots of shops in town. Nice promenade for people watching both on the Main Street and of course the boardwalk right in front of the property. The walled enclosure gave us our privacy when we wanted to chill. The patio was great along viewing the sunrises. Thanks Cristina.

Spectacular! The perfect location to relax with easy access to fun & food!
We had a wonderful time relaxing in this well-equipped home and loved that we could walk out the gate and be in the sand on the sea. The home was very clean and comfortable. Parking at the rear was a fantastic bonus. Dining and entertainment was close by and it was a five minute walk up to the main "strip"; grocery stores, bakery, and meat markets were also an easy walk - less than 10 minutes. Our host was available and responsive to answer any questions. Highly recommend!

Good location but description not right
The house is in a great location, right on the beach but also very close ot the town and with lot so restuarants nearby and well equipped. The garden is lovely and a great place to sit in the shade. Cristina was very good at attending to any issues. The only criticisms I have are that the description of the lower flat did not include that the suite is connected to the rest of the flat through the main entrance which is shared. Meaning our elderly parents had to lock and unlock doors to come into the main flat. This was very inconvenient, especially since we had only one set of keys. A better description and more keys would have been useful. Finally the alarm on the property went off, there were no instructiosn on how to turn it off. That would have been useful.

Beachfront privacy
Cute casita right on Boardwalk and Beach in a quiet corner of Platja d'Aro. We loved our privacy, the daily sunrise and moonrise from our garden, It was an easy walk to all the restaurants and designer stores, and then a quick return to our peaceful abode. It is located only minutes from highway and thus gave us full access to the other Costa Brava towns. Will certainly be returning! N

Amazing home by the beach
Cristina's place is the best!! Incredible location by a beautiful beach. Much more better that seen in photographs. Confortable, newly equiped and decorated. Everything is perfect. Cristina is very kind and responsable. Gave us quickly attention to our questions and a warm treatment. She, and her house, made us feel at home, in family. Playa D'Aro is a perfect place to have beach vacation, close to every place in Costa Brava. We deffinitly recommend it!!

Great House, awesome location
We traveled a family of 4 (2 boys 14 and 12). The house location was perfect. Right on the beach and 50m from the main streets with all the restaurants, bars, shops,... Cristina was very helpful and easy to deal with. They were waiting for us upon arrival and were very helpful. The beach was beautiful and Play D'Aro was fun, safe and full of great restaurants. Strongly recommend the area and especially the house as the location and quality were perfect.

Holiday in Platja d'Aro
Rested in this place for 11 days. I liked it very much. Nice house, 3 bedrooms and living room with kitchen, full furnishing, everything you need for a good rest. Value for money is very good. The meeting and departure were well organized. There were 2 small minuses: in one room the air conditioner did not work and slow WI-Fi . In general, everything was great!
