There is something about Casa Koolba... the house just seems to emanate peace and joy. The highlight is the wrap around porch set back from the beach by a 'yard' of lovely palm trees- a nice privacy screen and a block for the winds at night. We loved how so much of the house is open to the sea, and the shutters and huge doors open up to let in so much breeze. That with all the pretty ceiling fans kept the place nice and cool without yucky AC. The house is not pretentious at all- homey rustic Mexican ambience with gorgeous wood floors- but perhaps not for those seeking designer luxury. For us however, it was 'our kind' of 5 star! We appreciated the low key but attentive house-keeping by the sweet and helpful Emanuel- linens changed daily, and we loved that the 'our' beach was raked each day (for our tender Seattle barefeet!). We noticed other beachfronts further down the beach were not cleaned up at all (and these were the luxury properties!) so we really appreciated this. We also noticed that in front of our house, there was a lovely path cut in the turtle grass in the shallow water which was perfect place for our toddler to play. We also were grateful for the kayaks, life vests and snorkel gear. But ultimately, it is hard to express how relaxing and lovely and low-key this 'home' away from home is. Thank you Casa Koolba, we really enjoyed letting go!

This was the most lovely beach house... Excellent location, clean, beautiful... The beach was fantastic, we used the kayak everyday, snorkeled, swam, gathered shells, walked the beach. My daughter loved the "community dogs". Just Wonderful - Thank you for such a fantastic house!
