We were very excited to stay at Villa Madera - Monte Bello and it did not disappoint. The gated community is a nice benefit to add an extra layer of security in an unfamiliar area. From the moment we arrived the view from the outdoor patio/pool area was fantastic. Fortuitously, each evening of our stay the sunset got better and better. The layout of the house is really well done. The entrance to the house has the foyer and laundry room away from the rest of the house. The first bedroom is a great set up for multiple kids with a bunk bed. The living room is very spacious and a great open concept from the kitchen area so no one is closed off in this area. Further down the hallway is the second bedroom with a idea for a second couple. And finally the last bedroom is the Master. It is fantastic! Very roomy with glorious views of the pool and ocean. The outside patio area has multiple seating areas and a nice hammock. There is an outdoor grill, but we never utilized it. The infinity pool was quite nice as well. There is a half mile uphill drive from the gated entrance to the house. The beach area is not really walkable from the house unless you want a serious workout walking back uphill after sun and sand at the beach. I would highly recommend this house for a family vacation. Marilyn was very attentive to our stay and if we needed anything (which we did not) she was ready to serve. There is a small grocery store right next to the entrance to the gated community.
