4BR villa in San Salvador

The couple taking care of the property were very nice

Very nice house. Spectacular view, swimming pool and excellent outdoor social area. Although we were unlucky since the power went out both nights due to very strong storms… we had a great time!

Casa muy bonita. Vista espectacular piscina y area social afuera excelente. Aunque tuvimos mala suerte ya que la luz se fue ambas noches por tormentas fuertisimas….. la pasamos muy bien !

Beautiful Sunsets and amazing, peaceful mornings. I generally am not a pool person but I gravitated to the pool throughout my stay. Perhaps the view. The place was quiet, very peaceful. The staff on hand worked behind the scenes. I only knew they had been around because the trash was emptied daily. I will definitely be returning.

Excellent place and very beautiful, just like in the movies

Excelente Lugar y muy bello pura pelicula

Stunning! Very special place! The home is clean and spacious. The kitchen is on the small size and has no AC, so if you are planning on cooking just prepare to be toasty. It didn’t bother as since we spend most of the time outside. This home is all about outdoor living. It is more stunning in person. Definitely not a toddler friendly since there are no rails on the outer cliff side. Greg, the iguana was hanging unfazed near the upper patio bathing in the sun. Capybaras and butterflies everywhere. The pool is a perfect temperature and it has stools- great bonus during the World Cup. The driveway- steep and curved, but no biggie, just pedal to the metal! We thought it was part of the charm. El Tunco is less than 15 min for more vibrant nights out. Surf spots all over. The housekeepers Ricardo and Sonia are angels. They use Google translate if necessary. They can do the grocery shopping and make amazing meals. It was hard to leave!

The place is just spectacular. I had already been there on previous occasions, and Rafa made improvements to the furniture and decor of the house that it didn't have before. She takes care of communication with guests. Both Armando and Sonia are always available for any request and for shopping advice, for example. The place stands out from many properties that are in the area. Very well maintained by Rafa. Unique views and spots on the property!

El lugar es simplemente espectacular. Ya había ido en ocasiones previas y Rafa le hizo mejoras al amueblado y decoración de la casa que no tenía antes. Está pendiente de la comunicación con los huéspedes. Tanto Armando como Sonia siempre están disponibles para cualquier solicitud y consejo de compra por ejemplo. El lugar resalta de muchas propiedades que están en el área. Muy bien mantenida por Rafa . Vistas y spots en la propiedad únicos!

The views are beautiful, but unfortunately our experience was overshadowed by several safety and accessibility concerns. The biggest issue was the driveway. It’s very long, steep, narrow, and full of sharp curves with large trees along the sides. You need a vehicle with good traction and enough momentum to make it up the hill. Even with our truck, we struggled every time and were worried about hitting the trees. The road is also very dark at night, so we always tried to return before sunset because it felt even more dangerous after dark. The property layout was also difficult. Each bedroom has its own separate entrance, connected by many outdoor stairs instead of a main entrance. As a parent, I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my kids alone, especially after the co-host, Ricardo, told us we wouldn’t have keys to the property. Some doors were difficult to lock from the inside, and a few windows had no curtains, which made us feel less secure in such a secluded location.

Hi, Maggie. Ricardo is giving you the key to the kitchen entrance, which is the main one. The other doors are closed from the inside. If you have any problems, Ricardo will help you fix them immediately. Many cars come in. Some bad drivers have problems. The place is very safe. We have never had any problems in 11 years. The photos show the steps. You should check the photos more carefully the next time you rent.

The place is amazing, with great lighting and shade.

The views in this home are unrivaled.  The outdoor space has been designed for enjoyment. The grounds are filled with fruit trees and the most interesting critters (they know not to bother you). The setting is rather idyllic too but the part that makes this stay stand apart from the rest is the caretakers: Sonia, Ricardo and their family.  This team of relatives makes the space spotless, cooks phenomenal meals (our local guests called the food  “better than Pelicanos restaurant.” Sonia’s attentiveness was  beyond what most other airbnbs make available. We were sad to leave this space and we cannot wait to return for a reunion with Sonia, Ricardo and that view!

We had a wonderful stay at this property and would happily recommend it to future guests. The home was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and offered truly breathtaking views that made our stay memorable. We did experience two power outages during our visit, but the host was incredibly responsive, communicative, and quick to assist whenever issues arose. While the property is located in a more remote area with limited nearby attractions, transportation was still very manageable. We had a driver and were also able to access Ubers without any difficulty. Overall, this is a beautiful home in a stunning setting, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

It was an amazing experience. the people taking care of the house there are amazing. would definitely go back to el salvador and use Rafa house if available. Can't say house amaze i was of this house. the view is amazing

A place with a spectacular view and a lovely pool overlooking the ocean. I would not recommend it if you are traveling with young children, as there are several cliffs and quite a few steps to get to all areas of the house; if that concerns you, you should take it into account. Sonia and Ricardo, the people who help out at the property, are super nice and friendly and can assist you in every way. It was a very enjoyable stay for a family vacation.

Un lugar con una vista espectacular  , una piscina con vista al mar deliciosa , No recomiendo si vas con niños pequeñitos,  tiene varios acantilados , cuenta con bastantes gradas para llegar a todas las áreas de la casa,  si te preocupa eso , lo debes de tomar en cuenta, Sonia y Ricardo las personas que ayudan en el lugar son súper lindas y amables y te pueden apoyar en todo aspecto, fue una estadía muy amena para tomar unas vacaciones familiares

We arrived at night and greeted by our friendly onsite host. The house is lovely, clean and comfortable. For our family the bottom room with 3 queens made life easy. Loved the pool and outdoor cooking area. Everything was perfect! Thank you

This home offers an absolutely stunning view, especially from the walkable private beach and the pool/lounge area. However, there are some issues I encountered inside the home, particularly on the lower two floors and the master bathroom. The host was very responsive and provided some extra care, but it’s important to inform him about any issues, not just the housekeeping staff. He also provided a comprehensive document outlining the house rules and directions, making the check-in process incredibly easy. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a relaxing getaway with family or friends.

Rafa was a great host. The pictures of the views this house offers don’t do it justice it’s simply beautiful in person. Ricardo, who helped us during our stay, was also amazing. He even grilled for us one of the days, which ended up being the best decision we made. everything was so good. Overall, this was an incredible stay and I would definitely come back again. Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved this place. Can’t say enough about how great it is. We loved the house, the outdoor space is beautiful. We felt so safe, Ricardo is always around but not intrusive. We didn’t even lock the doors. Will be recommending to everyone we know and can’t wait to come back.

Casa Pelícanos exceeded our expectations. The property is in excellent condition, with breathtaking ocean views and a peaceful atmosphere. Everything was spotless and well organized. Communication with the host was easy and prompt. It’s a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy Atami in comfort and style. We would gladly stay here again.

Place is amazing. Fantastic views and the layout is gorgeous. Looks like a postcard. Great place to stay and close to popular beaches. Ricardo was attentive but not intrusive. He even cooked up a breakfast for dinner for us. Helped manage some issues and was very responsive. We didn't spend as much time as we wanted in the home as we were out exploring the town. Overall, a great place to stay and worth the price. Few drawbacks that can be fixed..... Bathrooms did back up but were handled by Ricardo. Wi-Fi is terrible but expected I guess. Master bedroom is not attached to the house. Should probably be listed. Pool Lights for night swimming would be great. But overall great home. Would definitely do it again! My family loved it! Thank you!

Near the beach, easy to find. Lots of stairs to get around the house just to keep in mind but overall view was amazing

I cannot say enough good things about this place. The pictures truly don't do it justice. The view is amazing. The place was clean and in almost every room, well air conditioned. We had no issues with operating any of the appliances and everything seemed to work as intended. Ricardo and his family were also amazing and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Even going as far as to cook a wonderful meal for myself and my family. We will definitely try to come back!

Had a great time and very helpful that maintenance lives next to property!!

Stunning ocean view. House as described.

Superbe vue sur l'océan. Maison conforme à la description.

The accommodation was conveniently located, very close to El Tunco and El Zonte. The outdoor space was perfect. Apart from the Internet which was unstable, everything was great!

Le logement était idéalement situé, tout près de El Tunco et El Zonte. L'espace extérieur était parfait. À part l'Internet qui était instable, tout était très bien!

Spectacular views. Great for a large family.

Amazing place, would love to come back. Views are speechless, pool was great, bbq place was joyful, the nature was great. Friends and family loved it. Private location easy to get around if you have a car. Yes the hill is steep but you can get up there is worth it. Everything is 10-15 min away along the coastline, restaurants, private breach, el tunco, etc. San Salvador 1 hr depending where and traffic, Santa Ana , Coatepeque 2 hrs. Suchitoto 1.5 hrs, Sonsonate 2hrs or less depending traffic , San Miguel 3 hrs or so. Come to El Salvador and enjoy the stay here and adventure out.

Beautiful airbnb with great views and plenty of nature around!

We had a great stay! The views are beautiful, and the place was very clean, well equipped, and in a convenient location close to the beach. Everything was thoughtfully set up, which made our stay very comfortable. Loved that we had hot water. And the infinity pool is truly chef's kiss. Just a small note for families with toddlers: there are quite a few stairs, so we needed to keep a closer eye on our 22-month-old. We also would have loved window screens so we could enjoy having them open, as bugs do come in. Overall, it was a very positive experience and we would definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful place, perfect to relax since the view is impressive 🤩 Ricardo (the man who takes care of the house) is very friendly and always willing to help with anything.  Take into account that the house needs to be fixed inside and make sure all the doors can be locked inside even though El Salvador is a very safe place, as mothers we are always looking out for our children.

hermoso lugar , perfecto para relajarse ya que  la vista es algo impresionante 🤩 Ricardo (señor que cuida de la casa ) muy amable y siempre dispuesto a  ayudar en lo que sea.  Tomar en cuanta de que la casa necesita ser arreglada por dentro y asegurarse de las todas las puertas se puedan echar llave por dentro aunque El Salvador sea un lugar muy seguro como madres siempre estamos al pendiente de nuestros hijos.

Exceptional stay in a property offering, in my opinion, one of the best views of Atami. The view of the coast is spectacular and the beach is only a five-minute walk away. The outdoor spaces are beautiful: swimming pool, terrace and absolutely superb hammock area. The presence of Ricardo, the on-site caretaker, is a real asset. He is attentive, available and always ready to help or recommend nearby services. The property has a lot of charm and some elements would benefit from being modernized over time, but this does not detract from the overall quality of the stay. A memorable experience — I will definitely be back on a future trip.

Séjour exceptionnel dans une propriété offrant, selon moi, l’une des plus belles vues d’Atami. Le panorama sur la côte est spectaculaire et la plage se trouve à seulement cinq minutes de marche. Les espaces extérieurs sont magnifiques : piscine, terrasse et coin hamacs absolument superbes. La présence de Ricardo, le gardien sur place, est un véritable atout. Il est attentif, disponible et toujours prêt à aider ou à recommander des services à proximité. La propriété a beaucoup de charme et quelques éléments gagneraient à être modernisés avec le temps, mais cela n’enlève rien à la qualité globale du séjour. Une expérience mémorable — je reviendrai sans hésiter lors d’un prochain voyage.

Nice place feel like I want to stay for more days the only thing I didn’t like was the many stairs the house have specially I was with my mom and aunt of 80 years old, but very nice house

As other guests have commented, the photos don't do it justice, the place is a paradise! We're definitely coming back, 100% Recommended. Thank you for Ricardo's hospitality and service.

Tal y como otros huéspedes han comentado, las fotos no le hacen favor, el lugar es un paraíso! Definitivamente vamos a regresar, 100% Recomendadisimo. Gracias por la hospitalidad y la atención de Ricardo.

This home is better in person. The pictures really don’t do it justice. It was breathtaking I wish we were able to stay longer but it’s no surprise they are booked already! Also I want to mention rafa’s staff Ricardo and Sonia. They were amazing, helpful, sweet, & welcoming! Just by their service alone we want to come back.

Unfortunately, my stay here was not what I expected. The Wi-Fi was very slow and unreliable, which made it hard to work or even browse the internet. The pool had no light at night, so it couldn’t be used safely after dark, after asking for them to turn the light on they mentioned they couldn’t because they didn’t want any loud noises after 10. The hosts were also not very welcoming when we asked about coffee, they were very dismissive. To make things worse, we were woken up early in the morning by the host sweeping outside with rakes, which made it really difficult to rest or sleep in. The bathroom amenities were poor, with no decent shampoo or conditioner provided. The shower heads looked rusted and nasty in the master room. Overall, this place didn’t match the description or the quality I expected for the price. With better communication, maintenance, and respect for guests’ comfort, it could improve.

It was a great stay for my family vacation !

Rafa was very responsive and answered any questions that I had. The house is very spacious and the kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, utensils, glasses, etc. Ricardo and his wife were great and helped us with preparing and cooking some food for us as well as helping us anytime we had a question or needed assistance. All of the rooms except one have a direct ocean view. This house is great for families and would definitely recommend.

Loved the house and pool. Ricardo and Sonia were great and cooked us some amazing breakfasts!

Great place perched on top of a cliff with amazing views of the ocean. Very good access to nearby Surf hotspots such as El Zonte and El Tunco. Both Ricardo and Sonia were amazing helping out and were always on hand. Great place overall.

great place with great view. Host was very responsive and helpful. I will definitely be coming back.

Everything is excellent, you feel at home, 100% recommended

Todo excelente te sientes como en casa 100% recomendado

House has beautiful views no doubt about it. But not a nice Beach to get in to very rocky. Hot tub was not heated, bathrooms hot water never worked, house doesn’t have a main entrance. No way to lock the house while your out or at night, didn’t feel safe. AC in living room did not work. WiFi connection was terrible.

Our stay with the kids was relaxing and memorable. This property is located very privately off a high cliff in a gated residential community with beautiful ocean and sunset views. We felt completely safe and truly enjoyed our time on property. Ricardo and his wife cook us the most delicious seafood soup and platter. Ricardo was very responsive and willing to help in any way to make our stay even better.

This house in Atami, El Salvador was everything we hoped for and more! The beach view? Absolutely breathtaking — the kind that makes you want to pause, sip your coffee slowly, and just exist. The outdoor kitchen was a total dream, perfect for hosting a big family gathering or just grilling up something delicious with the ocean breeze in your hair. And for those traveling with little ones — there’s a children’s playground on-site! Yep, the kiddos were entertained while the adults relaxed. Win-win! But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the amazing couple who helps manage the property. They are the BEST of the BEST — incredibly kind, welcoming, and they even offered to cook for us (and let me tell you, their food is next-level good). They made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We’re already planning our next trip back. If you’re looking for a peaceful, family-friendly beach getaway with top-notch hospitality, this is your spot!

Rafa’s place has the best view in all of Atami. Whether it’s hanging in the hammocks, or a massage on the patio, it’s easy to enjoy yourself here. The groundskeeper and his family are extremely kind and will offer to run to the store or even prepare a local meal for you. This place is great if you enjoy awesome views and don’t mind needing transportation to nearby towns.

To start, the best part of this house is the view — it’s truly breathtaking and makes every moment you spend there unforgettable. No matter where you look, it invites you to relax completely. Secondly, Ricardo and his wife were amazing hosts; they are incredibly kind and always attentive to anything you need. And third, their cooking is absolutely delicious. Every review about their food and the views is 100% true! The house does have a lot of steps, but that didn’t bother us at all. The property is very well maintained, with good A/C, hot water, and excellent cleanliness — which is very important to me. Most of my time was spent enjoying the pool and the stunning views. I highly recommend staying at Rafa’s house!

The beach house was spotless and beautifully maintained—it truly felt like a home away from home. Surrounded by nature, it offered a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere with stunning views in every direction. Waking up to the sound of the waves and the sight of the ocean was just perfect. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature at its best!

What you see is what you get but one thing I would say , the WiFi is spotty most of the time and in the master bedroom , good luck . The WiFi 9/10 did not work even on the tv but besides that , 10/10 stay

The grounds man Ricardo was very helpful he provided excellent service

The house is beautiful, especially the pool and outdoor areas. Super spacious with amazing views of the surroundings. If you have mobility issues, definitely look elsewhere though the steps come along with being at the top of the rock. Ricardo, the caretaker, made our stay even more enjoyable. He cooked us an amazing wood grilled dinner and sides, as well as a typical Salvadoran breakfast the next morning. He will do the food shopping and cooking for you, so much more relaxing and private than driving to a nearby restaurant. The outdoor dining area was perfect. Will certainly try to come back soon.

Lugar divinos y rica mangos ❤️❤️🥰

Lugar divinos y ricos mangos ❤️❤️🥰

The photos about the view are exactly what they promise, I have no doubt that we will be back!

Las fotos sobre la vista son exactamente lo que prometen, no me cabe la menor duda que volveremos!

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The place was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, with absolutely stunning views that made every moment feel special. The person who maintains the property was incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive—always making sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. You can really tell he cares about the guest experience. We genuinely enjoyed every bit of our stay and would absolutely come back. Highly recommended!

As the listing and the reviews state. Yes the driveway is steep. Yes the house is a little dated. The view, the pool, the outside areas, and the location are all worth the trip. Ricardo cooked a wonderful lunch. We would definitely stay again.

"...A wonderful place, with a beautiful view of the ocean where you can see incredible sunsets, my family and I enjoyed every second of this beautiful trip. Also I wanted to thanks Ricardo and his family for been the best hostess. We had a wonderful time at Rafa’s house.

A magical place, with a beautiful view of the ocean where you can see incredible sunsets, the spacious house with many amenities.

Un lugar mágico, con una vista hermosa al océano donde se pueden ver unos atardeceres increíbles, la casa espaciosa con muchas comodidades.

The house is beautiful and the photos are accurate. It is in a great location with good access to the beach. Please be aware that you are allowed no guests at the house, i think this needs to be stated on the house description so that people can make fully informed decisions before booking and paying. Unfortunately, the communication with Rafa was a little abrupt, stating rules and presuming the worst of people without any friendly communication. Also, the check-in was at 3pm and we received no information or address until 4pm. Once we were in the house, there were no problems and Ricardo was a great host.

Beautiful place! Outdoor space was just as represented. We loved it. The pool was huge. The location was awesome. We loved the beach area. There is no direct access from the house to the beach. You walk down the driveway and road to get there. It’s a short walk. Ricardo the caretaker was awesome. He cooked us food one night and it was phenomenal. The driveway is extremely steep and took some getting used to. The house has different levels and sections of the house. It does need some updating. AC worked great! House fit both our families well.

My husband, friend and cousin stayed at Rafa's amazing home and enjoyed the overwhelmingly beautiful sunrises and sunsets and every other wonderful vista. Our onsite property host, Ricardo (who lives with his family next door) provided excellent assistance and we arranged to have breakfast and a couple of dinners onsite. Ricardo and his family are lovely folks and we always of assistance if we needed help with anything. The property is situated cliffside and has absolutely fantastic views up and down the coast and of a great little beach that's easily accessible from the house. The pool and outdoor space is just like it looks in the photos and we spent much of our time in the pool relaxing and enjoying the views. The accommodations, while a bit dated, had a certain beachy charm that comes with living oceanside. Everything was clean and tidy. I would love to stay here again on a future visit and recommend it to others as well.

Great place to stay, it is as it is advertised, the staff there will cook for you and they did amazing job on Valentine's Day for us and even had some flowers and balloons on the table for the ladies Spectacular property would recommend

This home was spectacular. views were amazing and the sunset was lovely. Ricardo was helpful and kind. There are lots of steps but that is what gives you the  views. the pool was very large and the dining area was beautiful.  The kitchen stayed warm so be prepared to cook in the heat but otherwise we had a lovely stay.

Rafa’s home was great. Pros: beautiful views, well stocked kitchen, convenient outdoor kitchen. Cons: insane amount of stairs throughout the property, must be physically mobile to access all parts of the home. An experienced driver is recommended to drive up steep, winding road and driveway. Hot water never worked. Outdoor restroom doors do not close and no lights at night. Would recommend installing additional hardware to hang towels and wet clothes. Access to the beach can be tricky and do not leave any food or trash outside due to raccoons and other local wildlife. WiFi is spotty. Overall would recommend.

Beautiful home, the pictures do not do justice for how amazing this place is. Ricardo was great and friendly! We had a blast.

Super beautiful accommodation! Recommended to spend with family and friends!

Alojamiento súper bonito! Recomendado para pasar con familia y amigos!

Was a beautiful place. My family really enjoyed the scenery and ricardo was the best host!!

View it’s amazing, you do need a good car to get to the top tho, but everything was beautiful

The villa had incredible views unlike anything i’ve seen in El Salvador before! Ricardo was so helpful and sweet. His food was 10/10 and the massages he arranged for us were also fantastic. Overall the trip was great. There are definitely lots of critters but you’re on a mountain so it’s understandable. I think the home could use some upgrades inside but it’s nothing that’ll affect your stay. We had a lovely time with our family and we had some very cute visitors show up like a capybara, raccoons, giant lizards, and bats. All friendly animals !! This stay lived up to everything it said it offered, we will be returning soon!

to start the communication with the host it is a little bad and something heavy not accessible while one does not call them they they do not tell them anything I called from a local number because I never answered msj from here from the platform… because the place is not as in the photos lack of maintenance for the price is overvalued, some tv did not work, the shower was dirty  in one  of the rooms , in another room the toilet did not work as it should were many insects because the girls were bitten inside the house, they should improve the house a lot, and the outside part of the barbecue area is very nice and the Sr and daughter who take care of very kind and good care of part of them . I wouldn't go back to this place as I didn't have a good experience.

para empezar la comunicación con el anfitrión es un poco mala y algo pesado no accesible mientras uno no les llama ellos no le comunican nada tuve llamar de un número local porque nunca me contestó msj de acá de la plataforma… pues el lugar no está como en las fotos falta de mantenimiento para el precio está sobrevalorado, algunas tv no funcionaban, la ducha estaba sucias  en uno  de los cuartos , en otro cuarto el inodoro no funcionaban como debería habían muchos insectos porque las niñas les picaron dentro de la casa habían, deberían de mejorar mucho la casa, y la parte de afuera la área de barbacoa está muy bonito y el Sr y la hija que cuidan muy amable y buena atención de parte de ellos . No regresaría a este lugar pues no tuve una buena experiencia.

Hola se mando la informacion antes de tu reserva... no se informo de el baño en ningun momento ( el guardian ricardo vive en la propiedad y en menos de 45 min podria resolverlo) no dejar puertas abiertas de cuartos ya que estamos en un area con mucha vegetacion y con areas verdes. La casa se esta renovando

Amazing place amazing view easy to communicate with them. The person taking care of the place is so helpful and kind. Definitely coming back

This trip marked my 6th stay at Rafa’s Beach House - Resort. Need I say anything more? Obviously it is clearly the best of the best, combined with amazing communication and service….arguably the best view for any beach house in El Salvador! Be back again soon!

It is a 100% recommended place with an impressive view, very quiet and the staff is very attentive and helpful.!

Es un lugar 100% recomendable con una vista impresionante, muy tranquilo y el personal muy atento y servicial.!

This house is absolutely stunning! The views are definitely worth the cost. Like many before me shared, the most inconvenient part was that you have to drive/walk up a steep hill to get there. Definitely an all wheel drive is needed. The other “con” is that if you’re looking for walkable activities, it’s basically just the beach. Everything else, a car is needed. El Tunco is about 15 min drive, NAWI Beach House if about 40-50 min drive etc. Besides that, the house is super comfortable, and the housekeeper, Ricardo, is incredible. You MUST try his cooking. We enjoyed his cooking the best compared to any restaurant we visited. We are all absolutely thrilled at this experience surrounded by breathtaking nature and culture. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful place , your on a mountain so yes there is insects , especially ants I had some on my bed . Didn’t bother me much but my sister kept complaining about it. If you rent here definitely get a rental car preferably something with a strong engine. The drive way to get to the villa is a hard climb. They should  post a picture of the drive way.. Your gonna feel like your in a jeep comercial going up this drive way. It was an adventure everytime. The closets small store to get drinks and chips is about half a mile away which is not bad if they had side walks your going up and down a hill.  Remember your on a mountain. The closet grocery store is about 30 min away. I recommend you get all the supplies you need before coming to the villa . Once you get there your not gonna wanna leave the pool the view the ocean front . It’s amazing. Bbq and pool area are perfect.

Amazing views and friendly on-site groundskeeper. House is a lot smaller than photos and not as decorative. The nearby beach isn’t very safe to swim in. Great option if you want a short stay or weekend getaway, otherwise you might want to reconsider as there’s not much to do nearby.

WOW If you are looking for a beach mansion in paradise, CONGRATULATIONS because your search has come to an end. You cannot find a better location, host, groundskeeper, view, neighborhood, value, or experience better than Rafa's Pelicano Paradise. We searched for 20 hours and landed with this exquisite choice. The multi-tiered palace is spread out so gracefully between the pool, living spaces, common areas, living room, etc. The water pressure is great, the temp gets hot, the pool is the perfect temp. Ricardo, the groundskeeper, is a legendary host and cook. He arranged transport, cooking, the opportunity for massages. He made up our rooms. The beach is immaculate. The air conditioning is incredible. The pool pavilion is now home to my favorite memories on Earth. I will be back here a million times and nothing could have been better. 1 million stars out of 10. The memories made here will never fade, the yearning to come back will never cease. I found myself here. I loved every second.

The best vacation ever ! The House was big and beautiful. The pool was perfect ! Ricardo was the greatest ! Very friendly and polite . Made us breakfast twice . Ricardo made us feel welcome !

Beautiful home. Amazing view. Ricardo was very attentive and kind. Asked if we needed anything and even went to get us ice. One of the bedrooms didn’t have direct access to the rest of the home and the bathroom was very hot.

The view is beautiful, house has to be updated . But the the place is nice and clean.

My girls and I loved our stay at this house. The views are incredible, the house was clean and comfortable. The groundskeeper Ricardo was so nice and accommodating. He recommended good places to eat nearby and arranged for massages at the house. I would definitely come back. There is a steep driveway to get to the house so if you’re renting a car I’d say get a Jeep. The first day it was a little scary but it was a breeze the next few days. Small price to pay for gorgeous cliff views.

Incredible spacious home, beautiful views, & location. Excellent house keeper Ricardo who was very helpful and sweet. There are many steps to access the home and multiple rooms. I would stay here again.

Amazing place, amazing people and amazing views. We will be back. Thank you so much

A beautiful house is the third time and continues to be a show, the people they care for are very friendly

Una casa hermosa es la tercera vez y continua a ser un espectaculo, las personas que cuidan son muy amables

Everything is super good . Very nice and clean everything and the people who take care of super friendly .

Todo súper bien . Muy bonito y limpio todo y las personas que cuidan súper amables .

Honestly we didn’t want to leave the place it was so beautiful and peaceful. Sonia and Ricardo helped us out so much when we need something or had any questions. The price we paid was worth it all. I am definitely coming back 😍 for more days to stay. You get to experience the nature side and beautiful view of the ocean ❤️.

I’ll give this airbnb a 5/10. My favorite part of the house was the pool/ outside area. Absolutely breath taking. The people who guard the house are on the premises and are very nice. We felt very safe with them. HOWEVER, the hill to enter the airbnb is very steep and dangerous. We had to get out of the car, that way our GMC truck with our luggages (6) could make it up the hill. While we walked up the steep hill. I also wish the host left clear instructions on how to work the tv’s. We got 1 out of 3 tv’s to turn on and actually work. Also, the washer was hard to locate, it wasn’t connected to the house but it was on the property. It’s hard to explain. In addition, we didn’t have enough shampoo, condition and shampoo in our dispensers. We had to step out and get our own. The list goes on. We are thankful to have experienced the beautiful things the house had to offer but we wont be returning.

Really nice place to stay, peaceful and great views. Thank you Ricardo and Sonia for cooking for us, it was amazing. can't wait to come back.

Excellent area to rest, spend good times with the family, the photos are real to what you live and see, Very Highly Recommended, I would return there Thank you very much

The incredible place, totally recommended, the spectacular view I go in love with the place I would gladly return!!

El lugar increíble, totalmente recomendable, la vista espectacular voy enamorada del lugar con mucho gusto volvería!!

Really hard to express how happy my family and I were with our stay. Just an absolutely beautiful house in an outstanding location. The only problem I had was having to leave this place. I wish I booked the house for more time. I would recommend this place to friends and family with 100% confidence! Thanks for everything Rafa!

First Airbnb and honestly loved it! Sonia and her husband were super helpful and friendly. The pool has an amazing view and the rooms were really nice and clean. I would highly recommend this place!

This house was absolutely stunning! I loved how private all the rooms were and spacious! The pool was perfect and my guests were amazing. Ricardo and his wife were amazing houses preparing us dinner, snacks and filleting our fish. Even helping us load and unload our luggages. And giving us recommendations in town for pupusas. The only down side is the steep driveway and walk to the beach. But to be honest the house and pool are so beautiful, it’s worth it.

The property quality does not match the pictures. The place would need full refurbishment. This is not what we would have expected.

Amazing house with an amazing view. Had a great time. Thank you

Very beautiful house with a gorgeous view! The house was very clean and spacious. Staff was very nice & trustworthy. We will definitely be back!
