Great information and communication from the offset. House was lovely. Hot water issue reported and resolved immediately with a very responsive host. Cost very fair for the quality of the accommodation. Enjoyed our stay and can recommend the property and the host.

We had a fantastic stay at Firefly Villas. The place was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. The location is perfect for exploring the area, and we felt right at home. Corne was a wonderful host—responsive, helpful, and made everything seamless from check-in to check-out. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and high-quality stay!
