4BR Villa in Nuevo Vallarta

Excellent, 6 months ago

WOW -- this place is an absolute GEM!!! I booked this place for my sister's bachelorette for 8 girls and we couldn't be happier or more thrilled with this breathtaking villa. The casa itself was gorgeous and even better than the photos. The outdoor / indoor feel was very clean and inviting and cozy, and we just loved hanging out at the home. We felt extremely safe and secure in this location, despite being a big group of women travelers. The hosts went above and beyond in helping us arrange golf carts, airport transfers, and private chef dinner. They were extremely available, kind, and helpful. Lastly, this location was just top notch. It is a 10 minute walk from town or a very fun golf cart ride. 10/10 would recommend in a heart beat!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was lovely having you at Casa dos Chicos to and getting to know you all! We appreciate all your thoughts and we hope to have you back anytime and you are home in Mexico or Italy ! Regards

Grammable dream house. Incredible views! Great service from Ernesto. No screens on Windows. To hot to sleep with Windows or doors closed… but screens not needed.. no bugs or critters. Weekends can be noisy from downtown partiies but didn’t keep us awake. beds no joke hard as rock. Smokey at night which was a bit tough. Housekeeping staff great! Loved having them cook authentic breakfast for us. Renting golf cart was undeniably the best decision! Hilly is an understatement. So clean. Jungle setting. Inner Tarzan and Jane expedition complete! Check. Check.

One of the most impressive AirBnBs I've ever stayed at. Patrizio was friendly and responsive, and Ernesto, the house manager, was very attentive. The home itself is stunning, with incredible views and well-appointed rooms. The cleaning staff coming daily is a huge plus, especially for larger groups as the property is maintained almost better than any hotel. The maids also can cook dinner which was awesome. We loved our stay here and will be back soon!

Thank you Paul for the wonderful review! We loved meeting you and having all of you stay with us at Casa dos Chicos. Please come back and visit us anytime in any of our homes in Italy or Mexico! Have a lovely winter.

Don't think twice about renting this house! It was out of a dream. The architecture is absolutely stunning (coming from an interior designer). The rooftop has views of the ocean and is one of the highest points of any nearby structures. Each room has it's own bathroom and the rooms are cleaned daily (except for Sundays). The pool provided some shade which was welcomed as it kept the water cooler. House is walkable to the town via a quick walk. We enjoyed the quiet setting that was close to a vibrant area. We rented this property with their other property- Saturno - for a large group of 13. It was great to have the two connecting properties which can be opened via a gate. Honestly one of the coolest places I've ever stayed in. Hope to come back some day!

Our stay at Casa Dos Chicos was dreamy and we hope to be back some day! It’s even more beautiful in person and we had just as much fun lounging at the pool as we did at the beach or in town. The house manager Ernesto helped us with organizing a chef to come, getting golf carts, and grocery shopping. Highly recommend!

Host Response

So wonderful to hear Anna! It was a pleasure having all of you. Please come back and visit anytime. Adios

Casa Dos Chicos is stunning! The rooms were beautiful and comfortable and I loved the open air (palapa roof) top floor where there is a kitchen, dining area, and two "living room" areas that were beautiful. Lots of room to hang out and a Great view!

Host Response

Thank you Ingrid For the lovely review. I am delighted you enjoyed the house so much! Please come back and visit us anytime in any of our homes in Italy or Mexico! Sincerely

I stayed at Patrizio & Mark’s space for my birthday with a group, and upon arrival, it was more than expected! Even though the listing photos are spectacular, they don’t even do it justice. The views, location, ambiance and staff are exceptional! I would absolutely return to their space and Sayulita in general. Amazing!! Thank you for making me birthday even more special!!

Host Response

Dear Erica We are delighted that you had such a good time at the house and thank you foe the wonderful comments! We love having you guys and please come back and visit anytime! Best

There are no words for the beauty and magic of this place! I came here for my bachelorette party and my group got so much good use of all the common spaces and amenities!! •We thought not having central ac would be bad, and though it was a bit warm at night we were all able to sleep comfortably. •Ernesto, the house manager, was available to come by at a moment’s notice via text or email if something was going wrong! He was great. •The views, the pool(s), and the interior design are all even BETTER in person than in these photos! • we ended up not renting a golf cart which was totally fine, but we definitely burned off all our tacos by walking up and down that hill that leads from the center of town to the house every day. Need to be able bodied to do it!

Host Response

Dear Courtney Thank you so much for your wonderful words and your enthusiasm! We loved having you and are delighted to hear you enjoyed the place so much. Come back and visit anytime!!!! Sincerely

This place is stunning ! The space is so well put together and the housekeeping staff is a very nice bonus. I would stay here again. the only reason it didn’t get five stars is because the nights were pretty rough without ac and the doors jammed on multiple occasions and the housekeepers couldn’t get one open. My husband eventually got it open but they could definitely use some new/better quality doors. The house manager Ernesto was very helpful and easy to reach.

Such a beautiful stay! The views are incredible and the decor beautiful. We chose to breakfast each morning and delicious welcome guac made by the super sweet and caring ladies who look after the house. Ernesto helped us arrange everything we needed and we were fully able to relax. Can’t wait to come back!

Host Response

Thank you Libby! I am delighted you enjoyed everything! Please come back and visit anytime. Have a wonderful summer.

All I can say is WOW! We stayed here for my best friends bachelorette party at the end of October. This place is an absolute show stopper - beautifully designed and located. We were close to everything and still had a private space. Ernesto (the house manager) was extremely helpful and responsive before and during our stay. He helped get us book a private chef (highly recommend, she was so sweet) and transportation to/from the airport and golf carts around town. There is a maid service that comes most days to clean up and bring towels. The only thing to note is the kitchen sink doesn't drain very well but I think that's expected (just don't dump food down it). Shampoo and conditioner are provided, just bring your own body wash. Truly a magical stay. I cannot WAIT to book again.

Host Response

Thanks Alexa for the great review! I am delighted you enjoy the house so much and rally appreciate all your thoughts! Please come back and visit any time!!

Beautiful setting with lovely indoor/outdoor kitchen and living area. Pool is perfect. House decor and design is very charming. Do keep in mind there is no proper AC in the bedrooms. They provided 2 personal AC units for 2 bedrooms but it can be challenging with open air windows during October when temps are 27C/81F at night. The other bedrooms only had fans and it was tough for those guests to get a good night’s sleep. This was something I overlooked when booking. Construction happening on the lot next to us so hammering and loud noises every morning around 7:30am before the sun came up. Definitely no sleeping in!

Yeah, it's just as nice as the pictures make it look -- actually better. It's a great place and I had an incredible stay here. Really loved it. Very convenient to downtown Sayulita. At any house like this, there are always little things that creep up over time and the difference between a good stay and a great stay will be the house manager. In this case, Ernesto -- he did a great job and stayed on top of all the small requests we had along the way to make it a truly nice vacation.

Thank you John! Great to hear you had a good experience. It was a pleasure to have you and please come back and visit us anytime! Sincerely

This was our second stay at the Casa Dos Chicos and we can't wait to come back!!! Breathtaking views of the ocean, tropical swimming pools, incredible over sized rooms, and a delightful staff cooking all of our meals! Nothing more we could ask for... It was a glorious vacation!!! One we will cherish for years to come!!!

highly recommend! our family had a wonderful time & the house was just perfect! I would say we had our highly rambunctious toddler with us and it's not the best house for very little mobile ones with the multiple levels and the floors are slippery when wet upstairs Hosts were quick to respond and kind, house manager was very helpful in getting everything setup for our stay including golf carts and groceries. The cleaners cooked breakfast for us every morning which was a really nice amenity so we didn't have to rush out the door with 4 young kids. Would love to stay again :)

We loved this place. It was soooo beautiful and well curated. Excellent location. The memorably especially for my children was Abby the cook and her mother Angie and their children. They were so wonderful and truly hospitable. My children were very sad to say goodbye to them. Their food was lovely, simple and healthy, just like home cooking, which for me is the most ideal. Truly, it was a beautiful experience.

Host Response

Dear Sheila Thank you so much for your wonderful review and thoughts. I’m delighted to hear you enjoy the house so much and especially our staff and Abby in particular. She is sweet and generous and we love her so much and have known her mother for almost 15 years. Please come back and visit us anytime! We would love to have you back in our homes in Italy or Mexico. Sincerely

One of the most beautiful and unique homes I have ever stayed at. The location can't be beaten, just a short walk up the hill. I highly encourage renting a golf cart which the house manager (Ernesto) can help set up. I would rent again in a heartbeat and can't wait to visit again.

Host Response

Thank you Ryan! This is so great to hear and we look forward to having you back anytime! I’m delighted you had a good time ... we shall be in touch! Sincerely

Wow just wow! The pictures are incredible yes, but you really have to come here to experience the full beauty! Patrizio was super accommodating and responsive leading up to our trip which was our honeymoon. And Ernesto the house manager was fantastic as well. From arranging the airport transportation *this is a must* to massages and horseback riding which we also highly recommend. Both fantastic experiences. The walk to town is 5 minutes and super easy to get to. Have a few drinks in you to make the walk back better. The cleaning staff and Gardner were so friendly and you feel so safe here and in town. Also- request the chef her food is out of this world. As far as in town we highly recommend El Itcate- El Tiburon for drinks and appetizers the owners are great! Yah yah for breakfast is also fantastic if you want to start your day off a little healthier. We would definitely stay here again and hoping to experience their other properties in Italy next year! Do not miss out on this beautiful and perfect location- you won’t want to leave.

Host Response

Wow wow back at you guys!!! Thanks for such a lovely review!!! We do love that you enjoyed the house and the town of Sayulita and really appreciate all your thoughts. Please come back and visit anytime as we would love to have you! Have a great summer season.

This is our second stay at the owners Sayulita property. We loved Saturno and Zour recent stay at Casa Dos Chicos was incredible. The layout of the home is amazing. The bedrooms are all very comfortable and the common areas are out of this world. I highly recommend this property. Patrizio and Mark are tremendous hosts with impeccable taste. Their Sayulita properties are second to none.

Host Response

Hello Juan So great to hear that you’re such a good time at our house. It was such a pleasure to have you a second time and we really appreciate all your comments. Come back and visit us anytime!

An incredible option for vacationing in Sayulita. It has everything in perfect condition and offers unique privacy. We will definitely visit again.

Host Response

Thank you very much Carlos!!! That is good this te gusto'est vacation and our house!

The house has very good views; the best I would say. The location is perfect, but there are some funny things that we didn't love: 1. The very bad internet signal in the house; I went with my children to spend 10 days and they had to take classes, I had to connect to work and the signal in the middle of the house and the common areas pima. It has nothing to do with the internet service; but in the wifi of the house; they use economical repeaters not wired by the same not srive in more than half and it was very uncomfortable. 2. The service of those who serve you excellent; but the cleaning is done around 12; they arrive 11-11:30. One day it occurred to us to comment if it could be earlier and we were told that it has an extra cost of $600 pesos. Without rmbargo, when you check out you have to do it at 10am which is illogical. 3. The entire common area has a very slippery floor (cement polido) which is very dangerous (I slip one night). It looks very nice with its blue tone, but it is not well thought out in particular because if all the kitchen rains; Sala, stay; it gets super slippery. 4. They point out that there is a TV in the house; but it didn't work. They changed it but the house has no television signal and its internet is bad; therefore do not count on watching a game or some event; because you have difficulties since they do not have any television service (cable) and well the internet is not excellent then streaming is not ideal either. P.S. The owners live there in one of the houses from what we saw. There's no problem, but they're watching you all the time. One night my brother stays a little late with music after the time they say (I totally recognize it); and I forget to turn off the lights (two lights; not A/C or something that consumes a lot of light and they sent me a message). However, the house next to us at least three days had parties and I didn't receive any messages apologizing for the neighbors. (I'm a person who takes care of the environment and I don't like to spend more light, they kindly asked for it; but I should have some coordination with their neighbors if they ALL have the same policies. )

Host Response

Octavio Your review is harsh for no reason whatsoever. Nobody complains or even companies about the internet in 9 years that we have been renting the house. If you had special internet needs you should have communicated the ahead of time. Everything else sounds like a paranoid rant about absolutely nothing. I asked you to turn down the music that played till late at night as you were breaking the rules of the house and you agreed and apologized about it. Yet you write this? Unreal! And asking to turn off lights is perfectly reasonable and is also clearly described in the house rules. Your review is unfair and incorrect. For your information you have a heated pool and a heated jacuzzi that run all day and cost a lot of money and is done for the comfort of our guests. To complain about being watched is absolutely ridiculous as we do not live in Sayulita.

The house has good common places; specially the rooftop with the hot tub and the kitchen; but rooms do not have air conditioner and its basic; it was really hot ; also theres an urgent need for remodeling; the curtains are all porous and the kitchen table full of termites. Theres also a lot of insects and plagues in my room I needed to buy raid because there was 3 cockroaches the first night. With more cleaning and remodeling will be a perfect house

Host Response

Dear Elizabeth Your review seems a bit crude for no reason. You rented a house knowing it had no air conditioning so complaining after enfavt in a review seems unnecessary and useless. The kitchen table does not have termites but it is made with an antique set of doors and you clearly missed the beauty of it. Summer in Mexico with the rains brings a few bugs and that is why we have cleaning service daily which of course you omit to mention. Next time please look to rent in a resort so we don’t have you give us such a review for no reason. Simply because you do not know what this type of house is.

This is a stunning property! The entire place is beautifully decorated and has an insane 360 degree view of Sayulita, the ocean and the valley. We had a fantastic time staying here. Some highlights: -The property is very close to the main square in town and easy to get to. -The amenities at the property are fantastic - a plunge pool on the rooftop that's heated at night, and a large pool surrounded by some very impressive landscaping. -The rooms are large and private with ensuites in each. -We felt very safe staying here with a locked gate and security staff.

Dear Shannon So great to hear you had such a good time! Your comments are thoughtful and very appreciated. Thanks. Come back and visit anytime!!! Regards

This was the most beautiful Airbnb experience I've had to date. I've stayed in wonderful homes in the past but this one was exceptional. Patrizio and Mark have thoughtfully designed and curated every touchpoint, as well as anticipating any and all needs. From the pick-up at the airport to our first meal with a private chef, they were available to help us plan all the things we may need. The location can not be beaten - you can easily walk into town or just enjoy the spectacular views overlooking the mountain and ocean.

Dear Jolene It was a such a pleasure to have you stay at Casa dos Chicos. You and Lindsey were the nicest of guests and I look forward to staying in touch!!! Thank you for the lovely comments!

We went to Sayulita for the first time with our three daughters and their signifant others for our 30th wedding anniversary. We were were so excited about the house when we saw the pictures on Air BnB, but were blown away when we arrived and saw it in person. It exceeded our expectations! The attention to detail was amazing. We enjoy getting exercise so loved the walk back to the house from the beach, and the town square. Having a pool at the house was perfect. We think the view from the house has to be one of the best views in Sayita. The gardener and the cleaning staff were friendly, accommodating, respectful of our space, and did an awesome job. We had the cleaning ladies cook for us one night and it was a very memorable evening. The dinner was delicious, and so well presented. We cannot wait to do it again!

Dear Elizabeth We are delighted to know that you had such a great time at our house and enjoyed the views, the staff and everything else! It was really a pleasure to have you there and we hope to have you back anytime in the future! Have a wonderful rest of 2019 and I hope we stay in touch!

Wonderful house, great view and fantastic staff

Casa Dos Chicos was a stunning property with beautiful decor. We loved having the kitchen to cook at home when we didn’t want to head into town. It was very spacious and perfect for our group of 7. I would recommend staying here if you are looking to be a 5 minute walk to town, but away from the hustle and noise.

Host Response

Dear Silke I am delighted you had such a good time and enjoyed the house so much! Thanks for staying with us and have a great summer!

Wowowow, casa dos chicos is probably my favorite Airbnb that I have stayed in. Such a unique, and beautiful space ! I loved waking up before sunrise, making coffee and sitting up top to listen to the ocean and watch the sun come up. It was such an easy/quick walk in to town or beach which we loved and on days we stayed around the pool, it was so relaxing. The design in every room is gorgeous and I would highly recommend any friend to stay here!

wowowow back at you Allie! What a great review! I am delighted you enjoyed the house so much and had a great tie in Sayulita. Please come back anytime!!!

Patrizio & Mark’s house is the most beautiful house and the best Airbnb that I ever met. The architecture of the house and the views are stunning!!! Watch the sunset from the living room/roof top is an unforgettable moment. The decoration is perfect and harmonious, everything is very clean, the pool is big (better than looks in the photos) and the beautiful garden have a great maintenance. Also the location is very good (5min walking from the center and 7 min from the main beach). With a house like this, we didn’t want to go out :) congratulations Patrizio & Mark for this incredible house!!!

Thank you guys! I am delighted you enjoyed the hosue and its design so much! Come back and visit us anytime! Ciao

Our group of 6 had an amazing time at Casa dos Chicos! The views alone made the entire weekend worth it. We especially enjoyed the open-air kitchen with breathtaking views of the coast and the lush hills. The unique set-up of the house was perfect for our group, as each room was private and included its own bathroom. There are quite a lot of stairs, but that did not bother us. The private pool and hot tub were enjoyed multiple times a day. We chose to walk the

Dear Danielle What a pleasure to know you enjoyed the house so much as well as the staff and everything else! Come back to visit anytime! Sincerely

Though we did not meet Patrizio or Mark, the communication from the onset was fantastic! We were given thorough and precise instructions, plus a personal contact (property manager) to reach out to for all our needs who we could 100% rely on for anything from basic house needs, to suggestions on local activities, and to book airport transfers. There was housekeeping everyday, so we came home to a clean and tidy property each day - a welcome surprise feature! The vila is an inviting, tropical, and relaxing oasis that was the perfect setting for our mini-vacation. We will definitely book again should the occasion arise, but next time, we'll invite more people!

Dear Jenna I’m delighted to hear that you had such a good time at our Casa dos Chicos! Please come back anytime as we would love to have you. Have a lovely fall and winter season. Sincerely

Place was absolutely amazing! Pictures don't even do the place justice. It is a very close walk into town (10 min), although easier downhill then up, we walked it through our whole stay. They will arrange golf carts if needed for you. Views, rooms, kitchen, pools, were perfect! Felt very safe and neighbors who live around neighborhood would very pleasant and helpful.

Host Response

Thank you for your comments Croix! I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed Casa dos Chicos so much! Have a great summer and come back any time!!!

Patrizio & Mark's place is an absolute STUNNER. Everything was designed perfectly, each person had their own bathroom and some rooms had extra bed areas. The view from the open air living air is amazing, we opt'd to watch the sunset from the roof instead of the beach, were the sunsets are perfection! We ended up like true gringo's and rented a couple of golf carts that Ernesto arranged for us. The kitchen came fully stocked with everything we needed and the house was fully filtered water. They have a couple properties that make up the area, we plan on renting one of the bigger ones next time, those also have A/C which will be helpful should we decide to bring the pup next time! Couple of (first time visitor) pro-tips outside of Patrizio and Marko's house: check out he hookah bar with the swings, Yolanda the chicken lady is down the alley from her and across from the tequila bar is the french bakery with the best chocolate croissants. Oh and for breakfast, find Maria's, on the right before you cross the bridge.

Hi Katy What are wonderful reflection of your stay and our home! I really appreciate all your thoughts and it was a great pleasure to have you at Casa dos Chicos! I'm very glad you also enjoyed Sayulita so much ... we love that town also! Such a nice vibe! We hope to have you back sometime soon in any of our homes in Italy or Mexico! Sincerely

Amazing house!!! to stay with friends, family or as a couple. The house is much better than the description, everything is very clean, the layout is excellent because each room has privacy and the kitchen is very well equipped. Communication with the owners very clear and fast, as well as with all the staff that work for them. It has incredible views of the sea!!! I adore her terrace!!!! 100% sure we'll be back. Thank you Mark & Patrizio

Hola Ericka Que bueno que disfrutaste la casa asi tanto!!! It was a pleasure to have you and we look forward to having you back. Hasta luego a todos!

This home is a fairytale come true. It's truly the most beautiful home I've ever stayed at in Mexico. The views are spectacular. The furniture is beautiful and comfortable. Having the living areas and kitchen open-air on the roof is wonderful. The grounds are truly lovely - tons of mature jungle landscaping, flowers, fountains, and beautiful tiny courtyards. The pool is the perfect size and it's so nice to have it heated so that it's pleasant on cool mornings and evenings as well as the day. Ernesto, the house manager was incredibly responsive and amazingly helpful. The cleaning / cooking staff was wonderful and it was SO nice to dine at home enjoying the views. Can't recommend this home more!

Dear Patricia What a great review and i love your enthusiasm! I am delighted that you enjoyed Casa Dos Chicos so much and it was really our pleasure to have all of you staying with us. We look forward to having you back anytime!! And if you ever travel to Italy let me know as we have some beautiful homes there too! Sincerely

Our stay in Sayulita at Casa Dos Chicos was amazing! We had a total of 8 people (4 couples) and we all had our own private rooms with HUGE comfy beds. The home was incredible and so well designed. The outside kitchen (covered roof) was a dream to hang out in, cook in and play games around the giant dining table. The outside living room was lovely and comfortable and has a hot tub overlooking the entire city/jungle/ocean. It was especially cool when the thunderstorms came through ;) It was a quick 10minute walk to downtown Sayulita where there was amazing food, beaches, night life and exploring. Patrizio was very accommodating and super quick with his response to my questions. He helped us get in touch with Ernesto who takes care of the house and organizing everything for you. Ernesto was SUPER quick to respond to any and all questions or requests we had. He helped us organize the transportation from the airport and back, help us book massages at the house, and gave us awesome information on where the best beaches were. We felt very safe, the neighborhood was super cool and very nice. The house is up on the hill so you can see the beautiful view of the jungle for miles around. The pool was one of my favorite parts to the house, perfect temperature, very clean and a nice break from the very hot weather!

The Good Amazing house - The house is located in a perfect spot for some breath-taking views. The property is beautiful with exceptional fauna, a great layout, a polite and helpful staff and a beautiful pool. The rooms are all spacious and quite lovely. Ceiling fans in each room helped us sleep through the hot evenings. Home-cooked meals - I strongly recommend the in-home dining service at night. The food prepared for us was fantastic. Staff - The property manager was very responsive to all our needs, as were the property owners. Transportation – Car service from Puerto Vallarta was setup by the management and was very reliable and accommodating. I recommend walking to town to rent a golf cart as soon as you get there. The Not-So Good Hot-tub - It did not work properly. There was some issue with the timer. The owners are looking into it. Very hard beds - While the rooms are lovely, the beds are very, very firm. The owner mentioned that there should have been toppers on the mattresses but no one in our party of 7 noticed any toppers. The owners are looking into it. Windows - Screens on the room windows would have been a huge help at night during the buggy season. The hand-sized moths were more than we were prepared to handle at night. The owners are looking into fixing that. The Bad Security - The safes provided were not all functional. That was resolved on day three, after one of the rooms was robbed. The front gate also did not lock properly. This was resolved on day 3 as well. Hot water - On day 5 we ran out of hot water. The staff had the situation resolved in a few hours. Ran out of all water - We ran out of water late in the evening on day 7. The staff had the situation resolved the next day. In summary It is a stunningly beautiful home and we would have been very happy with it, had the house not been robbed on the second day of our stay. It is hard to recover from that and feel relaxed for the rest of the trip. In hindsight, the issues with the mattresses, water and bugs were quite minor but we were all on edge at that point. In this review, I have tried to be as matter-of-fact as possible about these issues and their resolution.

Host Response

Rachel It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed the house and the staff so much and are so appreciative of the house location, the views, the design. It is a wonderful house dear to our hearts and we maintain it well as you stated. We need however to correct your record and sequence of events: You and your guests reported to our manager that you had no idea when, where or how the money was lost. However at some point you seem to have concluded that the money was taken from the house but there were no signs of break ins on any doors, windows or safes. In addition our staff reported that your guests did not keep valuables including money, passports, wallets in the safes despite advice to do so and that you did not keep doors locked at all times. The safes were all perfectly functional and they always have been, before your stay, during your stay and after your stay. Our manager reports you had trouble using them but they were fully operative. It is unfair for you to hold us responsible for your loss or imply the house is not secure where we have done everything possible to secure the safety and security of our guests. Thank you

Casa Dos Chicos was everything I was hoping for and more! Patrizio was quick to respond and very accommodating from the very first email. The house is simply stunning. The views are spectacular, the rooms are comfortable and hanging out in the outdoor kitchen and living room was incredible. There are some bugs and you hear nose from the town eco through the hills, but that didn't bother anyone in the slightest. I booked the house for my boyfriends 40th - we had two other couples come and everyone really enjoyed the house. Ernesto, the house manager, is beyond accommodating. Upon arrival he gave us a tour and had a golf cart delivered so we could get around (this is necessary as the house is on a hill). He also arranged for us to have massages on the roof (which is highly recommend to do at sunset) and arranged for Maga, the woman who tends to the home, to cook us dinner, which was absolutely delicious. Maga is there everyday cleaning, so you have fresh towels and a nicely made bed every evening when you get home. She and Ernesto work really hard to make sure the guests are comfortable. The town is also great - its literally a small square with bars and restaurants right on the beach. The main beach is a little touristy, so make sure you take your golf cart to Muertos beach, which is basically empty. I was really nervous booking this trip because it was such an important birthday for my boyfriend and we all could not have been happier. I will absolutely go back again!
