Maeve was fantastic and full of info about where to eat, what to do, and allowed us to check-in early. The house is beautiful and in a great location that is quiet. It is easy to get anywhere you want to quickly and is not far from the neighboring cities and sites. The pool is a great size, with adjustable cushioned lounge chairs and three umbrellas to provide much-needed shade during the day. The city and harbor of Kalkan are visible from the 2nd and 3rd floors. There is a beautiful and VERY spacious master on the 3rd floor. The master bathroom has an amazingly huge jacuzzi tub with a potentially spectacular view of the city. Sadly, once you get in the tub, you lose sight of the harbor and a good bit of the city. The jets on the tub did not work while we stayed there (not a deal-breaker for us). However, the tub is still a fantastic feature without the jets. There are two bedrooms on the second floor; one room is very spacious with a bathroom/shower, and a balcony facing the pool, town, and harbor. The other room on the second floor has two twin beds in it, and though it is considerably smaller, it was a good size for two kids with plenty of room, and with a bathroom/shower. There is a half bath on the 1st floor with the kitchen, dining area, and living room. Split A/Cs worked well (4 A/C - 1 in each room and 1 in the living room that cools the downstairs area well).
The following information is meant to be informative, not negative or critical of the property (just passing on information if you choose to stay here). There are no kitchen towels, paper towels, laundry soap, seasonings, spices provided, and there weren't any extra toilet paper rolls or trash bags. There is no coffee machine/maker/french press of any kind in the villa. We were blessed with dish soap, a sponge, 1/2 dozen eggs, butter, cheese, a carton of milk and juice, a jar of jam and olives, dishwashing tablets, and some tomatoes. We were there in August, and the house gets full-on sun from 8:00-15:30. Very little shade during the day. Around 15:15-15:30, part of the right-hand side of the patio and pool area starts to get some shade. Around 16:00, most of the pool and the poolside area is shaded. Because of the house's location and position, you can view the sun rising over the Taurus mountains nearby, but there are no sunset views. Bed firmness and softness is a personal opinion; if you like firm beds, you will like these beds. Thanks, Maeve! We had a great family vacation!
