Amazing place, and unbeatable location! We rented both the guest house and the main house…. The main house is close enough to walk up the driveway but the driveway long enough that both houses get privacy. Just a couple minutes walk to the beach surrounded by jungle, and short walk along the shore and you are in town. Perfect. Everything in both houses was good quality and well cared for--and the hosts were super attentive and gave great recommendations. We will definitely return, next time for a longer stay, I hope.

Kate's place is incredible! The views are breathtaking and the rooms are incredibly comfortable and spacious. We were very impressed with how well maintained the property, furniture and appliances were taken care of. The jungle tends to consume everything so the fact that Kate's home is so well integrated with the environment and well maintained made the stay that much more comfortable and enjoyable. We can't wait to return next year!

Absolutely stunning Balinese house in the jungle of Pavones. Easily walkable down to the beach yet feels very private. Perfect for our family of 4 with older kids (aged 12 and 17). We had a car to drive to different surf spot depending on conditions, and we’re so thankful to come home to the beautiful pool each afternoon. Perfection. We loved our time in this house and will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The views from the veranda, main living area, master bedroom, and pool are spectacular. The property is beautifully landscaped and immersed in the sounds of the jungle while still being walking distance to the beach. We really appreciated the clean accommodations, the well equipped kitchen and the balinese style of architecture. We look forward to returning to the Pavones area and would not hesitate to stay here again when we do.
