Casa JJ is a fantastic place and we had an amazing time. It was a great adventure to stay in a place with an 'outdoor' living area - to step out of the bedroom and be met with the trees, flowers, birds - even humming birds all chirping away and the sound of the pounding waves on the beach.

The house is perfect. The beds are comfortable, the showers huge with good water pressure and the kitchen has everything you need. The pool is so huge it's almost ridiculous! It's the size of a resort pool but private - just for Casa JJ. Lots of loungers, hammocks, chairs and floats, it was awesome to float around listening to the crashing waves watching the many birds flying all around. In total privacy.

Step out of the gate next to the pool and in one minute you're on the most beautiful beach we've ever seen. We started every day with a long walk. Lots to see - whales, pelicans diving for fish, a couple of snakes, crabs and turtles. A couple of the nights we took our chairs over and watched the sun set. Spectacular!

We were really glad we chose Cumana over a place in town. It took no time at all to go in to town or the different beaches. Casa JJ is also closer to the little towns of Mazunte and Zipolite. We enjoyed going to the market, out for meals, exploring beaches and towns and then driving back and falling into our huge private pool

It costs next to nothing for groceries and eating out - a pleasant surprise. Also if you want to rent a car (there's so much to see and do) rent from LOS TRES REYES. All insurances, they met us at the airport and 60% cheaper

The owners, Jennifer and Jill, were always quick to respond to questions and very helpful. They seem really nice so we were happy to rent from them. We plan on returning whenever we can and highly recommend the place. If you want something a little different, privacy, a massive pool, fantastic beach, hot sunny weather and an inexpensive holiday then Puerto Escondido and Casa JJ is for you!
