To make it clear - you need a 4x4 vehicle to reach this location. Description was not clear in that regard. The hill is no joke even for 4 young in shape adults. Multiple things broken (dishwasher, toilet, AC remotes) The view is amazing and the actual apartment is spacious and nice. If you don’t mind driving up a steep hill it’s a great option for the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Alice's place! The location above the town was so peaceful. I miss the sound of the surf and the birds etc. We had great space for a family. The kitchen had everything you need for preparing meals (we did breakfast and one dinner). We walked to and from the town and the beach a few times - it was about 10 minutes down and a bit more coming up the hill). The one surprise was the steepness of the hill but we got used to it. It is beautifully paved with bricks so the drive was in great condition, just steep! Loved it and if we go back to Santa Teresa, I would choose to stay there again! We also loved the focus on sustainability and zero waste! Also, Alice was very responsive and helpful - we really enjoyed meeting her at check-in.

The view is amazing!! Although the front gate attendant tried to explain where the house was, he had to show us. The directions were not clear once you got into the community. It's not walkable to the beach or the pool because of the incredible steepness of the road, but very close to the beach access, stores, and restaurants. This community is eco friendly, which means you have to wash and separate your garbage. We were unaware of this until we got there. There were lots of beach towels for us to use, which was nice. We saw monkeys and lizards from the house. There was plenty of space for a family of 5 with teenage children.

We loved our stay! Great location, beautiful setting, spacious home, security, close to everything! This is our second stay at the Mar-A-Mar community and it never disappoints. We loved staying up the hill at Casa Alice as there is a great view of the ocean and canopy. Alice was a tremendous host—friendly, responsive, flexible, and so easy to communicate with. The beach is right across from the community gate and a great breakfast spot is close too. Wonderful home all around!
