  Olavaquero was everything I expected it to be and more. I have stayed in multiple rental properties around the world and Olavaquero's floor plan, design, amenities, location and style are top notch. It is by far the best accomodations in the area. The fully equipped kitchen, office, living & entertainment rooms are clean, well maintained and all the equipment is brand new. Both master bedrooms have ocean view and the 3rd (twin) room has beautiful views of the mountains, yet you can still hear the ocean even from the back room...that is how close to the water this house is. The furnishings in the rooms are well thought out and the layout is very spacious and comfortable - king size beds, ample light, spacious counters in the bathrooms and plenty of privacy even if the rooms are shared. The 360 views are spectacular. There is a tall wall around the perimieter of the house...the courtyard is big enough to park the car on the inside and lock up the entire place completely. Olavaquero and its surroundings offer: 350 days/year surf, swimming and snorkeling, diving, hiking, fishing, massage, yoga...the entertaining/kitchen area is well layed out for parties and big groups... Shopping is about 7 minutes away at the Nexpa village that also has restaurants and other tourist attractions. The owners of Olavaquero are very gracious, helpful and 100% commited to satisfaction. I would strongly recommend Olavaquero and am hoping to be back there soon.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

  Owner response: Thanks for your kind words, I am happy you enjoyed your stay at Olavaquero. Till next time, Pat

  Waves were head-high to just overhead for 4 straight days. Max 25 guys in the water. All friendly. Having taken my last trip to Todos Santos, staying inside a lighthouse with double-to-triple overhead waves, I can say this Rio Nexpa/Olavaquero trip was a refreshing reminder of a typical vacation: fun and relaxing. I took notice of the time, thought, money and care the owners put into Olavaquero. And when you compare it to any other accommodation in the area, you are laughing, because you have it so good. Manuel and Rebecca are great as the caretakers.

  After a direct flight from LAX to ZIH and car ride filled with anticipation we arrived at Olavaquero. Sunset with the house aglow, open doors and a hot meal awaited us. Friendly onsite staff and an oceanfront location was the perfect spot to watch lines rolling in with cocktails in hand. Movie theater projection screen, indoor outdoor floor-plan, meticulous craftsmanship, wifi, pool- this is not your typical Mexican surf house. We surfed Nexpa for 4 days- each day better than the last and none below head high. Water mid-eighties, air temp the same. Camarones el Diablo made to order. Beds made each night. The best part? travel light and leave your boards at home. If you are looking for a warm water surf trip- Olavaquero provides consistent surf and luxury accommodations unavailable anywhere else.

  So I will not start up writing this review about how busy my life with raising family, work, needing to get away. In fact it was my wife's third point of encouragement to go on a surf trip from Santa Cruz, CA. While we enjoy year round surf here in Santa Cruz coupled with great weather I am very selective on the places that I do put the brakes on responsibilities and check out. I am so glad that I did make the trip to Olavaquero having the opportunity to surf a world class left hand break with eighty degree water and air! I also took the longer way to the destination by taking public transportation that was not only safe but quite entertaining with sales presentations by medicino, tamales, food sales reps along the way. When I arrived to the house the feeling I had right away that this was going to be a great stay for my three days. The openness of the layout of the house and ocean views are amazing as is the view high up in the tower for long range surf checks. Daily meals were fantastic! Fresh Mex with great service also made the stay top notch. The rooms were fantastic with gentle evening breezes while falling asleep to crashing waves is the only way to pass out after a day of surfing, fishing and enjoying the beach. Within Rio Nexpa beach there are a variety of surf options from the classic ultra-long left point break over cobblestone to a punchy beach break. While I was there the surf range was 3-5 ft. When we were not surfing the fishing was just as good as the surf! I was able to full in a meal while fishing on the sandbar in front of the house. I have caught plenty of fish growing up across 17 states but never on a sandbar hooking a fish while duck diving a wave! So many great memories for my three day stay I will certainly be heading back next year to enjoy a great stay, food, surf, fishing and relaxing. If you don't have the time make the time! I can't wait to put the daily grind brakes on and book another trip to Olavaquero! Pat and Jordan have made a fantatic get away for you to visit!! Thanks so much!!

  WOW!! I spent a week at this piece of paradise located a short walk from a world class point break and only steps away from a fun, peaky beach break which offers great waves when the swell is smaller. I've experienced many surf and family trips to mainland mexico and I would say that this is by far my favorite home we have ever stayed in. The open air environment was so relaxing. It was very clean and offered all the amenities you could ask for. The caretaker, Rebecca prepared us 3 delicious meals a day and were all classic authentic mexican dishes. She also cleaned our rooms and our beds each morning...Thanks Rebecca!! Olavaquero has a huge quiver of rental surfboards. I would recommend renting one of their boards as they have every type of board for every type of condition and size of waves. One of the nicest features that this home has is the swimming pool. It's location is ideal and is surrounded by the kitchen and dining room table and best of all...the hammocks!!

  Recommended for: Families with young children, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

  This place is incredible! the house is completely amazing, with open air living and steps to the ocean this place just can not be beat. Very safe and private with plenty of space to lounge and hang out in or out of the sun. The surf is all very accessible either by foot or a short car ride away. I can not wait to get back to this piece of paradise!

  We cannot really review Olavaquero justly as we have not stayed there. We booked a week in August but were not able to come out. However, before we had to cancel we had many questions and they were all responded to in a prompt and timely fashion. Pat, the owner, was very informative and accommodating even before we came. When we were forced to cancel the trip, the refund was arranged without problem. I can't say anything about the actual place (although it looks breathtakingly gorgeous), but the owner runs his business well.
