We stayed in this unit for 3 nights during Fall Break in October 2015 and had a wonderful experience. The condo was beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with both glass dinnerware and plastic, and had more mixing bowls and serving dishes than expected. There was even a turntable of spices, aluminum foil, and plastic baggies! One note though, the unit has 2 beautiful walk-in showers only. Since we were traveling with a toddler, one bathtub would have been preferable but that was my fault for not noticing it in the description. There were beach toys/sand castle tools available for our little one's use, which was a great bonus and very thoughtful of the owners.
I had stayed at the Sonoran Sea before but had booked through the resort. This was my first time renting directly from an owner through VRBO. I was a little nervous but wanted to use VRBO because there was a 30-day cancellation policy. This was a huge advantage over booking through the resort, with whom you lose money if you cancel at any time, even 6 months before your stay. I was also a little nervous about check-in, where the property manager meets you at the unit to give you keys, wristbands, and answers any questions. I wasn't exactly sure when we were going to arrive since we drive from Tucson and stop for potty breaks, gas in Why, and vanilla in Sonoyta. Kali was very accommodating when I gave her my best guess of our arrival window (2 hour window) and I just texted her right before we crossed the border. It couldn't have been easier and we were in our condo and out at the beach before our friends who checked in at the resort front desk. It honestly was easier and faster than going through the resort, and we received much better customer service and communication. I plan to book this way from now on, we had such a good experience!
