Beautiful place in a perfect location

The house is perfect size for a family. Three full bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The outside area is gorgeous for those hot nights. The hot tub was perfect for winding down every night. The pool was chilly but only until you got used to it. I would definitely stay here again.

Clean, Cozy, and Ultra Kid-Friendly

We recently stayed at this wonderful home with our four kids, and our experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, it felt warm and welcoming. The hosts really thought of everything families might need—from a fully stocked kitchen (which made cooking so convenient) to thoughtful amenities like a high char bassinet (if needed), pet items, pool toys, etc. It was very clean, and the attention to detail showed how much care goes into maintaining this property.One of the biggest highlights was how comfortable we all felt. The beds were incredibly cozy—this was genuinely the best sleep I’ve had while traveling! Our children loved having the space to play and relax, and we appreciated how homey it felt. Overall, we’re so grateful we found this gem and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and family-friendly retreat. We can’t wait to return!

About the host

Host profile image
We are the Herrs,

For as long as we can remember, traveling together has been our greatest joy. From road trips across the United States in our trusty camper to magical vacations at Disney World for our mom's medical conferences, adventure and exploration have always been part of our story. As we grew older, that love for seeing the world only deepened.

David, at just 17, ventured across the globe to live in Japan for a year as an exchange student, immersing himself in a completely new culture. Becca, always eager to broaden her horizons, studied abroad during college in Ecuador, Spain, and China, embracing the beauty of learning in different corners of the world. Even with these exciting individual adventures, our annual family vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico has remained a cherished tradition. It's a time for us to reconnect, laugh, and create the kind of memories that last a lifetime.

Our years of traveling together have taught us just how priceless those moments are—whether it's discovering new places, sharing meals, or simply enjoying each other's company. It's this understanding that inspired us to create Optimist Oasis, where we hope to offer that same opportunity to our guests.

As hosts, our mission is to make every stay a seamless blend of comfort, relaxation, and adventure. We believe your time away should be more than just a place to stay—it should be an experience you’ll treasure. From personalized touches to our genuine hospitality, we pour our hearts into ensuring your visit is exceptional. Whether you're here for a tranquil retreat or an exciting getaway, we want your time at Optimist Oasis to feel like home and to give you the chance to create cherished memories of your own.

Thank you for considering Optimist Oasis. We can’t wait to welcome you into our home and share a part of our family’s passion for travel and adventure with you. Your satisfaction is our greatest reward, and we’ll do everything we can to earn your 5-star review.
