Casa Molendera is a beautiful property overall. The house itself is stunning, with great views, a lovely pool, and a very aesthetically pleasing Mexican casita style. It’s a peaceful, charming place to relax and enjoy the surroundings, and visually it really delivers. Getting to the property is a bit tricky, as other reviewers have mentioned. You’ll need to meet the house manager near the property, and she then drives you the rest of the way, which is important to plan for in advance. There were a few downsides during our stay. The internet is radio-frequency based and was very intermittent, which could be challenging if you need reliable connectivity. We also had the water go out for one day, though to their credit it was fixed promptly. Bottled water is provided, but you do need to keep asking for refills, which became a bit of a nuisance. The A/C also went out at one point, but it was repaired. Overall, this is a beautiful house and a good value for what you get. With more consis

We had a wonderful stay for a few days over New Years. Byron's home is very special -- beautifully decorated with many personal touches. We really appreciated how private the home is, and of course the view from the pool. This is a great place for a small group to gather and enjoy time together and home cooked meals.

The home is beautiful and the view is so nice. We felt very safe and comfortable. Backyard is a peaceful haven. Would highly recommend and would stay again. The location is up a steep road and you go through a small village on the opposite side of the highway from Lo de Marcos. Well worth the trip but not very walkable to town. Owners were very responsive to the few things that needed to be addressed. Thanks for the great place to introduce us to Lo de Marcos.

Casa Molendera was the perfect location to stay at if you're attending a wedding at Hacienda Antigua. It is right next door and villa boda is on the other side of you. The house was as described and the house manager did a great job with all of our requests from having the fridge stocked upon arrival to fresh margaritas, ceviche and preparing a few meals for our group. The one thing I would say is to know that this property is more on the remote side up dirt roads to get to. We had no problem requesting a taxi through the property manager. Overall we had a great stay!

Bryon & Areclia - were incredible hosts. It was the perfect place for our family of 6. You never had the leave the house but was close enough to towns and the beach that made it convenient.

Casa Molendera is a beautiful Mexican style house located on a hill with a great view of the ocean. The house has everything that made our stay very enjoying. The communication with Byron was always quick and helpful and the local person was also always available in case we needed anything. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back one day.

Wonderful, large, private home set in the hills behind Lo de Marcos, looking out over the green mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Enough room to comfortably sleep 6 in 3 bedrooms, with outside showers. a plunge pool, recliners, Netflix and an apple TV, and fully stocked kitchen. An on-site property manager was around to sort out any issues quickly. Easy driving access to the local beach, which was relaxed, uncrowded and home to some great restaurants and bars.
