  My family stayed at this property for nearly two weeks in July and found that it far exceeded our expectations. Since the photos were a bit limited we didn't know what to expect in terms of the beach and the overall location of the property, but it was a perfect setting for us. The house's layout allows for a great deal of privacy, and there is ample furniture in the main room for everyone to spread out and relax. The kitchen is fully equipped and makes it very easy to prepare all meals at home. The view from the house is beautiful and we really enjoyed watching dolphins from our patio, taking in the sunset, etc. The sandy beach is perfect for kids and it extends far into the water so that kids can really enjoy swimming and playing in the water without any real danger. We ate out at least once a day and found that the little town of Cantu was all we needed. For groceries we ventured out to the Calimax just 15 minutes away, and otherwise we were content to stay around the house. We took 5-10 mile walks on the beach and were amazed at how few people we came across during our walks. The area is very safe as well, and we never worried about leaving our belongings in the house. Lynne and Bud were gracious hosts as well; always available, but never hovering, and Bud offered to bring us movies for us and the kids for the duration of our stay. If you're looking for a very relaxing and quiet vacation, this is a perfect spot.

  What makes this property is the beach and the views from the living room and patio. There are large windows in the living room that have an unobstructed view from the ocean. You can hear the waves at night and all day of course. The beach is vast, and was never crowded. The tide comes in every night almost to the edge of the patio so the beach is cleaned every night. The house itself was livable. Clean. Spacious. The shower was a bit stinky but I suspect no one had stayed there for a while. The manager was very accommodating and addressed any concern we had promptly. The house is perfect for families or couples. Not to far away is La Bufadora, which is where we hung out. There is a lovely outdoor market in La Bufadora that serves Pina Colada's so you can sip while you shop (what could be better). The clams are TO DIE FOR and a must try. The town of Cantu is small, and my suggestion is going to La Bufadora to eat. Make sure you bring groceries if you have picky eaters. Also do not attempt to find in the night, it has nothing to do with safety, but it would be a bit challenging at night. Once you have located the place there is no problem. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return in a heartbeat.

  Manager response: The "stink" was checked out and did not exist.

  Our stay at Spacious Villa on the Bay was wonderful we had a great time the photos do not do this place justice. Great for a family of 6 . This place has lots of extras and was very clean. Let’s just say that my husband and the kids never wanted to leave. Back to reality we had to come. :( We would definitely go back. :)

  My family stayed at this beachfront house for just over a month. The on-site managers were wonderful making it easy to navigate all the things we needed to find and do in the area. The house is nicely laid out for a family and the kids loved their room almost as much as the great beach toys available for playing in the sand. The patio on the beach side of the house was great for the kids, the dog, and enjoyment of some great sunsets while grilling up dinner.

  Had a wonderful time. Beach all to ourselves and our dogs (albeit it was Dec). House was good. Just what we were looking for, and can't be beat for the price. Not pretentious or exotic. Just a fantastic view through the big windows. Right on the beach. Nice patio. Great heated blankets!

  The house was Clean and nice, the view was great. The area was rural and very quite, very peaceful, very relaxing, we all enjoyed our four day visit. My daughter and I really enjoyed horse back riding on the beach, the horses were very close by and we rode by the house on the beach. The blow hole was cool and we did all our Mexico shopping there. I would go back and stay again. The rental people were nice and helpful and fare. Over all it was a very good experience. Thanks for everything, it was what we needed.

  We started out with a month and extended it another month. Wonderful house with everything you might want for relaxing. We hardly left the house but preferred to stay on the front deck. Books and movies were provided by the manager - completely to our taste. We will definitely be back!!
