Even though it rained a lot! We pass it super, the house is spacious and cozy with many amenities which made us spend a time of well-deserved rest that we were looking for. The beach is close, the super and restaurants too. Recommended!

It is a beautiful area, not so touristically exploited which makes it very quiet, not very crowded, nothing contaminated so it is perfect if they want beaches to rest. The house is spectacular, beautiful decor and perfectly equipped (we didn't need anything). Don Jorge, the owner of the house, is extremely attentive and cordial, in addition to being available for any situation that arises. Really one of the most beautiful places we've ever been to.

Stay was excelleng! Lovely home.. pool/jacuzzi was awesome. Kids had a great time! Ameneties were however limited or old. Kitchen utensils were very old. Toilet paper shortages required waiting for owner to replace them. Washing machine/dryer was too old and took a long time! No bread toasters. One of the chairs was broken so cldnt lean on more. On the good side, lots of plates, cups and crockery! Location was great.. just mins from Playa Carillo and Samara. Would refer again to friends and would request owner to look into changing or updating appliances and ameneties.

we were there a few days ago for a family vacation, the house seemed super nice, it had all the amenities you need to feel at home, comfortable spaces, very clean rooms and bathrooms, the kitchen is super well equipped, they have everything and more ( blender, blender, multipurpose pot, etc.). The outdoor spaces are super comfortable and with ample space, the host is super friendly and attentive, I recommend it 100%.

A beautiful, comfortable, large home! Very clean, well appointed kitchen (with all the cooking supplies you could ever need as well as a full sized fridge). There is hot water in the showers but not in the kitchen sink (just an fyi). The outdoor area is amazing and totally private and there are an abundant amount of linens. Having a washer/dryer was super helpful (I would recommend having directions on how to use these appliances as it's a bit different than in the US). If you are curious, the pool gets a little deeper in the middle and there is bench seating on both of the longer sides of the small pool (it's not a hot tub). We heard howler monkeys when sitting outside in the morning and saw beautiful birds around the property. Jorge was quick to respond to any needs. You are about a 5-8 min. drive to Carrillo Beach from this property. It was very relaxing here and easily fit our family of 10!

Nice tucked away spot, just a few minutes drive from the beach. Great outdoor space, perfect for hanging out with travel companions. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. Looks just like the pictures.

We loved our stay in this beautiful home that reminded us of being in Florida with all the decor and comforts of furnishings more U.S. style. The beds were so comfortable and the rooms so conducive to sleep with A/C, fans and darkening curtains. The living area was super cozy on and there was a fully stocked kitchen. I can’t say enough about the outside- great little pool, beautiful gardens, lots of seating and hammocks. All in all a wonderful stay and the beach is a quick 5 min drive. Communication w/ management was A+
