Host Response

Thank you, very happy you enjoy the home.

Excellent and timely communication from Irma as a host, the person who assists in the house is very friendly and helpful, inspires confidence In general, we really enjoyed the accommodation, with places very close by to visit and eat well

Host Response

Thank you for choosing our winter home

We loved our stay in Melaque and would love to come back! The house was great for our small group of co-workers. Beds and rooms were very spacious and so many great spots to hang out. In the pictures, the color of the pool looks a little off, but in person, it was perfect. Great easy access to the beach. Super peaceful to hang out and listen to the waves. Surrounding area is very relaxed. Can walk to restaurants. Best part of house was Noemi, who helped prepare meals for us. She is fantastic and super helpful. Highly recommend having her cook for your group or family. And the host is great and super responsive as well! Highly recommend this place!!!

Thanks! You too were great, we would love to have you back

My experience at Irma's Airbnb was fantastic. La casa es increíble, tal como se muestra en las fotos, y todo estaba muy limpio y bien cuidado. La alberca es genial, y la vista al mar es hermosa. Irma fue muy atenta y se aseguró de que tuviéramos todo lo que necesitábamos, incluso ofreciéndonos flexibilidad con los horarios de llegada y salida. El lugar es perfecto para relajarse y es ideal para grupos grandes. Lo recomiendo totalmente para una estancia agradable y divertida. Espero regresar de nuevo! --- My experience at Irma’s Airbnb was fantastic. The house is incredible, just like in the photos, and everything was very clean and well-maintained. The pool was great, and the ocean view was beautiful. Irma was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, even offering flexibility with check-in and check-out times. The place is perfect for relaxing and is ideal for large groups. I highly recommend it for a pleasant and fun stay.

Irma’s place more than lived up to its description. It is a beautiful home on the water where you can lounge by the beach, listen & see the waves, take a dip in the pool if too warm or walk along the beach. Kitchen is great place to cook and beautiful. We even had a barbecue and ate in the outdoor bar area…next to the hammocks. Grocery stores, bars and restaurants are in the neighborhood. Fun to keep finding new places to explore and eat. We were a large group and there was plenty of room for all of us plus some good quiet & shady spots when desired. I highly recommend La Mansion for a wonderful vacation destination.

First of all, a thank you for the attention to your guests by Mrs. Irma, the house is as described and with more amenities, the garden area is beautiful and well maintained, the pool area is the best part of the house, the rooms are comfortable and clean, each one has its own bathroom, the kitchen has everything you need to have a pleasant stay. The only detail is that the air in the living room area did not work and as a recommendation, if it had lighting in the garden area, it would be used to enjoy this area even more. I was left with a pleasant taste in my mouth. My trip was with a group of friends. There was always attention to detail, Mrs. Noemí, who is a support in the house, is always attentive and attentive all the time. We enjoyed the trip, it's a pity that it was only 2 nights. Again, a huge thank you to Mrs. Irma for her hospitality

La Mansion Villa is an awesome home base to enjoy the small towns of San Patricio/Melaque and Barra. We loved the private pool and outdoor area! Numerous great restaurants are near bye (Frogs and Red Lobster were our favourites) and it’s easy and relatively cheap to get around by taxi. AC in the bedrooms worked great and hopefully the AC in the living room gets fixed before our next visit as we will definitely be back. Irma and Naomi were great in ensuring that we had a fantastic vacation! Gracias!

Host Response

Thank you! We will add a new AC in the living room. And yes they are all over the area of San Patricio. My neighbor and I have been trying everything to end this situation Hope you came back soon!

This place exceded our expectations. The view is amazing. Plenty of privacy. Felt very secure in the house and with our belongings while we were gone. Very spacious for a big group. The only thing that I can say negative was that the AC was not working in the living room. But every room was very comfortable and pleasant. Most definitely have recommended and plan to return.

Host Response

Gracias Teresa, the problem with the AC living/dining , people will Lea e doors and windows open and was difficult to keep it up, no everybody take care of the house, very sorry about it! Hope you can back

A great house. Just as shown in the photos. The bedrooms are very good. Each one has its own bathroom and several are outside. the green areas and pool excellent The house right on the beach but only to see if you are not a good swimmer . The palapa is great. Irma is always attentive as a host. Some details with the toilet, but everything was fixed. Thank you Irma.

Host Response

Thank you so much for your ideas, you really appreciate it, it helps a lot to correct details!

Second time visiting the house. My family loved it. Irma was very communicative with me. Friendly workers. Spacious house, clean yard and close to the beach

Host Response

I'm glad you liked it and thank you for coming back again.

Irma and Frank were just terrific and accommodated all our little requests. The house is in a great location - right on the beach and easy walk to everything we needed. Lot's of great little restaurants right in the area. The surf can be loud this time of year but we slept well with the windows closed and air conditioning on. The pool is crystal clear and a perfect temperature. Couldn't have been a better vacation. And Irma is by far the best airbnb host we have ever had - with attention to every detail and good communications. Thanks so much.

This home was perfect for our first trip to the area! Frank and Irma are gracious hosts and we cannot wait to return!! The home is beautiful and the outdoor spaces and views are incredible!!! I loved the one level layout of the home and it provided plenty of space for our family. The pool and easy access to the beach were wonderful! The home is equipped with everything you need and the beds are comfortable. We enjoyed falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves. The town is charming and the people are warm and welcoming. Down the street you can enjoy fresh squeezed juice in the morning and a warm crepe just out your door. Every meal in Melaque was delicious!! We cannot recommend this home and location enough for a perfect Mexico vacation!

Host Response

We would love to have you in the future!

The house is excellent for families or groups of friends. All rooms with AC, a functional kitchen, living room and dining room, a garage for at least 3 cars, a huge garden (which, although it appears like this in the photos, I had my doubts), a very good sized pool and a great palapa for eating or chatting when the sun is very strong. Having the ocean just steps away is fantastic. The sand is perfect for the children to play or for going for a walk. The sea has big waves, so it's not ideal for kids, but there are many beaches nearby where they can go with us (Coastecomacos, Punta Perula, Tenacatita, Manzanilla). Yes, you can go into the ocean, but be careful because there are big waves and you might get knocked around. Excellent service, very good communication with Irma and with the person who takes care of them/cleans the house, very helpful. There are a couple of good restaurant options nearby and pharmacies/grocery stores for whatever is needed. The only thing we noticed is that the A/C in the living room isn't working, and there's a small ant infestation (which can be eliminated with a good fumigation). We had a great time and we'll definitely come back someday.

Host Response

Hi José, thank you for your review. We already had AC in the living room. People don't take care of it and leave the doors and windows open. Of course, not all of them. I'll put it up this summer, and I'll have to increase prices. And I really appreciate the recommendations. When I arrive, I'll fumigate it. I was glad you enjoyed the house and our little winter town. Best regards.

We were looking for a place to distract ourselves and be safe during this pandemic. Irma's house was the ideal place to enjoy a safe family vacation by the sea: direct access to the beach, private pool, palapa with hammocks, and a garden to play ball. The house is very comfortable and clean. We traveled with our pets and there was no problem. The house is very safe for them too. In addition, communication with Irma was excellent. We had to go after a hurricane and she was attentive the whole time, telling us which route to take for greater safety and giving us options to change our trip if we wanted to. Definitely an excellent choice! We are very hopeful that we can return soon.

It is a spectacular place, it feels more spacious than what you can see in the photos. Our favorite area was the palapa-bar, where we had lighting and amenities to spend a fun night without having to leave (We brought a speaker). The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are extremely comfortable and the terrace has a spectacular view! We really enjoyed the pool area, it is a good size, the depth is sloped and it has a splash pad. During our visit the sea was very choppy and the sand had many remains of shells so we preferred to visit nearby beaches to spend some time in the sea, this being an aspect not controlled by the hosts I rate this stay with 5 stars.

Great place! The house is very nice, spacious, clean and above all very well equipped and located. The beach is just a few steps away!! The staff are friendly and always willing to help. The host was super helpful at all times. This is my first experience using this app, and I liked it. We will obviously come back to this house!!! Thank you for everything, Irma :)

We stayed here 2 nights with a few family members. The pool was very large and not too deep so it was perfect for the kids. A gentleman came every morning to clean the patio and water the around. Right in front of the beach which we enjoyed very much. It has a few dining areas outside for us to enjoy our meals. Just bring your essentials like toilet paper etc. I had told the lady of maintenance she didn’t have to come clean daily since we spent most of our time inside the home. Owner is communicative although we didn’t encounter any problems during our stay at all. Amazing home, we would definitely stay there in the future.

Host Response

Hi Jessica! Thank you for going to our house, what a pity for the paper! Always put in extras! Since I'm not there, you know, you have to be reminding the workers of their duties. Greetings and a thousand apologies

Staying at this home in Barre de Navidad was everything we hoped it would be. The house is fantastic, the swimming pool perfect the Palapa and bar awesome. If you can stay at this place do it / you will love it! The care takers Isabel y Jose were so helpful / we couldn’t have been happier!

Host Response

Thank you! You are always welcome to our home.

We loved our stay at Irma’s place, the pool and the views are amazing. The beach is not the best for family’s but if you drive around you’ll find more beautiful beaches and restaurants - there are small grocery stores just a few steps from the property where you can find anything you need and only 10 min drive to Melaque if you need more. All suites are spacious and have their own bathroom. We highly recomend thia place to create good memories.

Host Response

Garcías Nancy, as I mentioned, it's difficult to keep the house 100% on the shore of the sea. And I'll respond to your comments!

excellent place, very nice is the second time we have come and we hope to go on more occasions, thanks to Irma who was attentive and always attentive to our doubts and comments to Isabel and José who supported us with the cleanliness and maintenance, very grateful for their attention, we hope to see you soon

Irma and Frank are great hosts; The whole place is charming!! The house, the pool, the gardens, the terrace, the access to shops, everything was excellent!!! The only thing to note is that the waves in the sea are very high (impossible for children). Isabel and José, who take care of the house, are also very friendly and always attentive to what we might need. Very happy with our stay and we will definitely be back!

This was the perfect gateway after being locked in for months due to COVID. The home attendant was friendly and always was helpful. Only drawback was that the ac in the living room wasn’t working and it was extremely hot especially in the summer months. Another drawback was the ac times. Home attendant notified us ac was only allowed on from 9pm to 9am. I found this extremely odd to have time restrictions on the amount of ac time we were allowed especially after paying for the home. Home was location was fantastic. Steps away from the beach and in quite neighborhood. Home was clean when we checked in and home attendant was very accommodating. Irma the owner was a joy to deal with. Please note that home attendant lives in premises and will be walking around grounds thought out your stay.

We had a great stay at Irma’s home!! The place is beautiful and close to the downtown area. The pictures are exactly what the house looks like, the house is clean and roomy and the pool and beach are great. Irma and Frank are very helpful and informative. Thank you so much for the hospitality!!

Irma, Greet it us when we arrived at house with her husband.The house was breathtaking with the ocean view. The house has a 2 convenience store right next to the house which made our stayed much better and 2 tacos stands. My family was in loved with the place and if we decided to Come back we would definitely stay at Irma’s house again.

Excellent service and a very nice house.

This place is beautiful. It right next to 2 markets and tacos. Walking distance to the town center. The place is beautiful in the inside with awesome furniture. There are full bathrooms in every room and has a/c through the house and rooms. Outside bathroom also and one near the pool. This place was beyond amazing with an ozone pool with a perfect view of the waves. Beach right at your feet. I will definitely be coming back to this place for future visits. Their caretakers were beyond sweet and friendly. They made the most amazing food I had there. Hidden gem 💎

This amazing property IS right on the ocean and the views, sounds, and feelings of this habitat left us breathless. Whether we were sunning ourselves on the deck of the sparkling pool, enjoying the cool breezes in the huge palapa party space, or just relaxing in the king sized master bedroom, we felt like we were living on the beach in true comfort. The architecture and furnishings are exquisite yet beach oriented, comfortable and unique. The kitchen is modern and functional with everything we could have needed. The property is well maintained and cleaned daily. But the best feature of La Mansion is Irma and Frank. They shared their knowledge and love of the area with open hearts and inviting smiles. When exploring Barra de Navidad, La Manzanilla, or Melaque...This is where we want to stay. Thanks for the memories Irma and Frank!
