We had so much fun here! The pool was a big hit with the kids, especially when scarlet macaws flew over! The house was very clean and the kitchen is well appointed. We found Punta Islita to be beautiful and quiet. We’d love to come back!

Ruth’s place was easy to find, and immaculate apron arrival. The pool was warm and clean and our favorite part of the stay. Doris the cleaning lady helped with our laundry and came in the clean the home multiple times throughout our stay. She was very friendly, and very helpful! I would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arose.

Wonderful week with my family of four! Loved Punta Islita—beautiful beach and resort- amenities available to us! So much wildlife around! We actually loved the separate master bedroom, worked perfectly for us. The pool was exquisite! Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Ruth's place..it was a slice of paradise! the accommodations were just as described! The beds were very comfortable and the AC made the bedrooms very comfortable. I especially enjoyed the deluxe master suite which was a great oasis for this tired Mom. The home is surrounded by jungle, we were fascinated by all the unusual sounds and especially liked our visits from the local mischievous monkeys. Highly recommend! As others have said the floor plan was a bit different with no real lounging area inside, but the area by the pool made up for this and was a magical place to be.

We had an amazing stay at Ruth's in Punta Islita. The area is quiet, and locals are super friendly. Great restaurants close by, and the beach is beautiful and only a 10 minute walk down the road. There's plenty of amazing things to do close by; ziplining, dolphin & snorkeling tours, horseback riding, sunset walks on beaches you have all to yourself! And when you need a break, or a chance to cool off, Ruth's house is just perfect. Nestled in the trees you can have a swim in the pool, or relax and watch monkeys playing in the trees above you. Can't say enough about how great our stay was at Ruth's!

We loved Ruth’s home. The layout, while a little odd being separate was perfect for our family. The upstairs master was a quiet haven that we ended up loving. The pool, BBQ and kitchen were a great addition as was Doris. We didn’t follow the key rule and locked ourselves out one night and Doris so graciously came back to unlock the house for us. The monkeys, the quiet little town of Punta Islita and gym were also great additions. We loved our time at Casa de Agua.

We had another wonderful stay at Ruth’s Casa del Agua. We were there two years ago with friends and loved it! So peaceful! Town does not have a lot of people. Pristine beaches! The house is perfect! Will return again!!
