Great place to Be Alone and Zen Out
The pictures accurately represent the space. The house is nicely appointed and Playa coco is a beautiful beach with few visitors.
Dave’s instructions on bringing in food are necessary as there simply isn’t anything nearby. We had brought in food expecting to have the housekeeper cook for us only to find out she was on vacation. The local restaurant was also closed, which meant we needed to drive 40ish mins to SJDS to eat. Annoying, but a small price to pay to enjoy the beautiful house and beaches.
As noted in other reviews, the road often has animals, pedestrians, and motor bikes and is only paved 1/3 of the way and grated the remaining 2/3. If there’s no rain, a small sedan could do the trip. If it’s raining, I’d definitely want the 4x4 to navigate some of the roads.
The internet is 5 d/1.5 u, so it’s just barely enough for zoom. If you need to work remotely, this probably isn’t the place for you as Claro and Tigo cell service is also kind of sketchy.
The security roams the grounds periodically and were helpful with luggage, opening the gate, and even helping light the stove. We felt safe our entire stay. Note that no one speaks English. We got by with apps, but Spanish helps a lot around here.
5 star stay for the house, location and beach. No negative feedback, just some notes to ensure others have a great stay here too by knowing what to expect.
The turtles at la Flor are a 10 min drive so no need to take a tour for this.
