This is a perfect spot for a solo surf trip to Playa Grande. Walking distance from some great waves. The place had everything I needed and was super clean/comfortable. Patrick was the friendliest host I’ve had on AirBnB. Highly recommend!

A very nice place, quite quiet and private. Patrick welcomed us in a very friendly and respectful manner. The place is super close to the beach, and there are even quite a few activities available. Thank you for everything; we really enjoyed the place.

We had three wonderful days at this Airbnb. The setting is lovely, just five minutes from the beach, surrounded by nature, and you can even spot howler monkeys and various birds! We also appreciated Patrick's tips for the surrounding area and the rest of our trip. The description is accurate: there are a few insects, but if you keep food in the fridge (dry and wet), everything is fine. A simple and successful stay 🙂

Patrick's place is perfect if you are like me and going to a variety of places in the area. It's a great base to start, visit a variety of areas, and to figure out what you like. The space is exactly as described and Patrick is an extremely responsive and helpful host. Patrick even helped resolve an issue I had with a local vendor. I would definitely stay again.

I had a great time at Patrick's place. He was very welcoming, and full of suggestions for activities in the surroundings. The accommodation was nice, clean, and comfortable. However, I did not realize when booking that it was in a somewhat busy vacation residence. I happened to hear some vehicle noises in the morning (and construction). But I only spent a short time at the accommodation, whose location was perfect for going to the beaches and surrounding villages. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful.

Patrick was an incredible host. He was always attentive and consistently answered my questions in detail. The place was exactly as described: clean, relaxing, and very close to the beach. You truly feel like you’re sleeping in the jungle, with birds and nature all around. It’s incredibly peaceful, and it helped me a lot to slow down and gather my thoughts. The beach is wonderful, the water is nice, and the sunsets are absolutely amazing. There’s also a small kitchen where you can cook, which made the stay even more comfortable. Everything about this place was great. A special thank you to Patrick for making my stay so enjoyable: he was always helpful, present when needed, and at the same time very respectful of my space. I highly recommend this place and would happily stay here again.

Patrick’s place is all about the location. It’s a very short and easy walk to a beautiful beach in Las Baulas National Park. The unit is half of a container, so as shown in the photos, space is tight, but all the amenities are there and the outdoor lounge area makes all the difference. Thank you Patrick.
