11br Villa Calabassa on the Water

Rented this home for a week of business meetings for our team. Was a good physical set-up for a larger group, but hiccups with the WiFi (very spotty). Not as clean as a home like this should be (stains on pillow cases, carpet/floors were dirty, towels were old/hard). We hired a husband / wife team to assist midweek with tidying up, and they were wonderful (found through the property owner's outsourced concierge).

Amazing house and Edgar & Alex were very responsive!!

Was great !

Amazing place for family or friends gathering. Alex was the best host.

Lots of different spaces to meet and collaborate throughout the home - many bedrooms and bathrooms as advertised. Light on serving pieces and cooking utensils but most groups are probably eating out anyway. Worked well for our group and the hosts were very responsive.

We were pleased with our stay for the most part. Edgar was very friendly. communicative and flexible with check in/out times. He also had the pool and hot tub heating up upon our arrival. And he gave us a thorough walk through. The house had lots of nice features. We loved the beautiful backyard, the sound system, the game tables, the size of the kitchen, the large sub zero fridge and separate freezer, two dishwashers. But with a high end price, not all of our high expectations were met completely. Our first impression as we entered the gate was that the front could use a bit of a facelift-dingy old-style stucco should be refreshed, standing water in big pots with dead plants should be attended to. Inside, wood floors were deeply scratched, kitchen had no platters or baking sheets, or foil/bags/plastic wrap and only had eight wineglasses. We did call to request enough for our party on 21 but only received eight or so more. The master was ginormous. A really long walk from bathroom to closet. Speaking of bathrooms, although there is a nice bedroom downstairs, there was only a half bath. No shower! So our guests had to either go upstairs or into the separate casita which seemed like an invasion of privacy. Also, some of the upstairs bedrooms had en-suites and others had to awkwardly ask to use their neighbors en-suite or go to the only bathroom accessible for all which was at the end of the hall and between two bedrooms. A floor plan would have been nice for assigning rooms.

This home is even more beautiful in person! One of the owners walked us through upon arrival and he was very quick to respond to any of my questions. The house was very clean and the beds were all very comfortable. There is also plenty to space to spread around and not feel like you’re on top of each other. We had a group of 14 guests to celebrate my 40th and this home allowed us to enjoy our stay in Miami. The set up outside is perfect and relaxing with the pool and hot tub and several hangout areas. All of our guests had comfortable bedrooms and the kitchen was very well equipped and spacious. We can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed our stay at the Villa Calabasas - the host was very responsive and accommodating. There are plenty of bedrooms to choose from which was perfect for a larger group.

We had a great time at this property with 20 people, plenty of room, great house and we used the dock to get pickup up by boat. Edgar (the house manager) was great, helped with anything we needed and had amazing communication.

The location is perfect. The estate is spacious and well decorated. We loved the view! Any time we are in Dayton we will make this estate our first option.
