We had a wonderful stay at Cara's place and can't recommend it enough! The home was spotlessly clean throughout, and Yorlene, the housekeeper, was absolutely wonderful, attentive, kind, and always happy to help make our stay comfortable. The property offers fantastic privacy that let us truly relax and unwind. We loved that the beach was just a 3-minute walk away, making morning strolls and sunset visits so easy. The interior courtyard was such a cozy, charming spot to gather and enjoy the evenings. The place is also stocked with every amenity you could want, right down to a blender that let us make the best smoothies each morning. A perfect little retreat. Thank you, Cara and Yorlene!

We had a beautiful family experience at Cara y su Casa Cartagena. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed for a weekend filled with shared meals and fun. The rustic style was absolutely charming, but what truly stood out was the incredible assistance from the cleaning and maintenance staff. They were attentive at all times and managed to resolve minor issues in record time. It was a perfect stay, and we would return without a doubt.

Very nice house, it had everything we needed, the kids had so much fun at the pool and hammocks. We surfed every day. Cara make sure we had a go kart since hers was broken, also the staff people was so nice with us. It was an amazing experience for the kids, so easy to go to the beach club, with golf cart. House is well located. We will be back soon.

Cara's place is just behind the houses on the beach and a quick 2 minute walk to check the surf. The kids love hanging out on the hammocks and the pool while waiting for Yor to finish cooking her wonderful meals. the house was perfect for us. It had everything we needed.
