You will love the views but be prepared to "drive" for it!
Mirador is a beautiful villa, nicely maintained, gated parking for 1car but safe to park on the street. We enjoyed our stay and made many wonderful memories. Things I point out are more as an FYI for the guests and things that hosts can easily improve on to make guests more comfortable.
Location: close drive from the airport, a few minutes by car from the town amenities BUT you are not likely to walk to any of them. You might walk to the beach (a few of us did :) but it is a STEEP walk. It is also a STEEP drive, so either rent an automatic drive or don't beat yourself up for stalling a few times before learning the road.
Description of the layout of this house is very accurate! We had a mini family reunion, and multiple levels was one of the main reasons we picked this house, 3 bathrooms was another :) Our occupancy plan had to change when we discovered there are only 2 AC wall units on the two upper levels (the loft bedroom and the primary bedroom en suite) the other 3 lower levels did not. That left our elderly parents having to hike up to the closest room with AC. There are fans in the other two bedrooms but even with doors open it got pretty hot in August.
Kitchen can use some attention. At the very least it needs a microwave! And it would have been lovely to have more sitting outdoors to enjoy the view. Dining room and outside area offers 6 chairs each.
I would also recommend that you offer beach towels for the guests and stock the house better for long term guests.
