VILLA MARINE YourCroatiaHoliday

Good
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : The house itself and the location is great. It's mainly isolated from Drenje where it officially belongs to, there are only a few similar apartments around. The sea is about a 20-25 minutes walk, depends on how do you cope with the hike trail going down and up. The distance is around 1,5 kms (maybe less...), elevation is a bit more than 100 meters. In exchange, you have a small, beatiful beach with not more than 10-15 people around, clear water and easy walk in into the sea. The apartment is comfortable with 3 separated bedrooms, having their own bathroom all of them. The pool is great as well, big and good enoungh to have fun there if you don't feel like going down to the sea - but it's highly recommended to do it. There is also a stone-build grill what you can use, just make sure you bring all necessary tools. Nothing is provided. The house is clean, also the provided towels and other textiles. Our host was helpful and nice.
  : Overall a good place, but there are few things to mention. I haven't seen during the booking, neither in the info emails, but you are supposed to pay 400 EUR damage deposit at checkin, what you get back at the end of the stay if everything is OK. As we didn't have as much cash we were allowed by the host to pay the day after and she said it supposed to be indicated on the website, but I think it's not there. Maybe my mistake.Then some other minor things: toilet paper is listed as provided facility. It was running out in half of the toilets during first night and when I asked for refill we were instructed to buy for our own - which is OK, but then not to be listed as something being provided. And it's literally penauts, I really don't see the point saving money on that.The diswasher was practically not working. Then after some technical checks I realized something was blocking the water flow in one of the washing arms inside, it was not even attached properly to it's place. So I fixed - but I guess that's not the guest's job. Specially, that you are requested to leave everything clean and dry in the cupboards when you leave.Open/close some of the terrace doors was either not possible, or very difficult - probably already ruined by previous guests, but then what's the damage deposite for if it's left damaged instead of being fixed?You have sunbeds, but partially broken, so make sure to pay attantion not to hurt your skin. Again: to be replaced if broken.The grill is great, but not a single tool for it. No wood, no charcoal, no tools to clean it after you used.And at the end, I just realized when we already left: we spent 4 nights and we were charged 6x15 EUR for our dog, instead on 4x15 EUR. I was in a rush with packing and leaving, so I didn't realize when I paid it together with the tourist tax. So, finally I was shortened by 30 EUR as well - not so good farewell.
