You simply cannot beat this location. Right on the beach, with the market and many stores within close walking distance. Milena and team were great and always communicative. Would recommend, we really enjoyed our stay!

This is a great Airbnb. I do have to be honest and not rate it a 5 star as to me 5 stars is perfection. There were several small issues during our stay. Since this is right on the beach and lots of vegetation around we constantly had crabs in the house. Almost every day we had to capture and release several crabs. Also, there were ants around the kitchen that would come out in droves if you left any food out for more than 30 min. The Wifi is very spotty. It works best in the living room and primary bedroom. Everywhere else it is spotty or doesn't work at all. I don't recall reading that the bathrooms were not air-conditioned. They were down right steamy and not refreshing or relaxing taking a shower. The shower pressure and hot water was also spotty. Since this is right next to a public easement to the beach there was constant noise and people walking by. There is decent privacy on the sides but obviously the people end up on the beach directly in front of your pool.

We loved our stay!! It is on a beautiful part of the beach and a walkable location to some really great restaurants and a couple markets. The concierge, Milena, was extremely helpful in booking activities and recommendations on things to do. She was very responsive to any questions we had about the area or our trip in general. The housekeeping was a great too. They went above and beyond expectations by helping with our laundry and even fixed a delicious pineapple plate for us. The house was kept very clean but since in is right on the beach we got an occasional hermit crab visitor inside which didn’t really bother us. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in Santa Teresa.

What an amazing house! Right on the beach and walkable to everything. The back porch and pool were amazing and the ocean was steps away from the back door. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful villa, better than in the pictures! Amazing view just outside of the backyard deck. the 3 bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful Comfortable beds and linens. You sleep surrounded by the sound of the ocean waves. Milena, the concierge, was super responsive and helpful, and had excellent recommendations for local tours that my family enjoyed. Marta (housekeeping) was also great and we felt secure with Henry taking care of security from 5 pm to 5 am. I'd come back to this house in a heart bit.
