Josie was very easy to work with from responding to questions when we were considering her property to inquires before the trip about transpiration to and from her home, check in questions, things to do and recommendations for places to eat. The home is well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen to the pool area / beach toys and games on the roof top patio. The pool and yard is well maintained by their Host Ricardo and his wife. There is plenty of hot water and the bedroom's are comfortable with quality linens and towels. We especially enjoyed dining on the outdoor patio many evenings with the ambient lighting in the yard, patio and the pool. We enjoyed our stay in the lovely & friendly little town of Los Ayala. We will definitely consider visiting Los Ayala in the future and will definitely stay at Josie's beautiful home again!

This was our second time staying at Casa La Jolla. Once again everything was exceptional! When we arrived parts of Los Ayala had lost power. Josie, Maribel and Ricardo went over and above all expectations to make sure we were looked after and comfortable. They contacted the power company and kept in contact with them to ensure everything was being done to restore the power. The following morning we had power.We cannot express enough gratitude to Josie and her team for another wonderful stay at Casa La Jolla.Connie and Leo

This is the third time we’ve stayed at Casa La Jolla and it never disappoints! It’s a beautiful home in a really cute little town. Everything you need is within walking distance. Josie is always very easy to get in touch with if we have questions :) Ricardo and Maribel (they look after the property) are lovely and prompt if you need anything or have any issues.

Another wonderful stay

Everything again was as enjoyable and comfortable as our first stay. Divine pool to enjoy before and after hikes and walks to beautiful beaches. Cooking at home or going out for the freshest of seafood. Comfortable beds and laughing at the roosters crowing to each other. Being in a true community in a welcoming small town. So much to appreciate!!!

Casa La Jolla - Los Ayala

This is a beautiful property - complete with private swimming pool and everything to make entertaining family easy. Around the corner from the little town of Los Ayala, the beautiful beach and commuter buses to local markets, it was ideal for rest and relaxation.

A beautiful casa in Los Ayala

The property was beautiful in every way. Great care was taken to make every space comfortable and inviting. We greatly enjoyed the heated pool and used it several times a day. The casa was equipped with every possible item that one might need in a home away from home. I really appreciated the beautiful little library and all of the games and activities provided for our pleasure. Overall we greatly enjoyed our stay at Casa Jolla. We highly recommend it

Paradise in Los Ayala

An absolutely beautiful spot for a 2 week holiday with family. Everything and more was available at the property: pool toys, books, beach toys, card games…just to name a few! The house was even more lovely than its pictures! We enjoyed early morning coffees on the upper deck followed by fun at the beach and afternoons in the glorious pool! We can’t say enough good things about our 2 weeks there! We had a car that allowed us to drive to Rincon de Guaybitos but one could easily walk there too.

Beautiful Oasis

We spent two weeks at La Casa Jolla, we would return again and again. We are two older adults and spent 2-4 hours a day in the pool, it was so great to have your own personal pool to enjoy. The small village of Los Ayala had many great restaurants and beach parties. We walked the 20-25 minutes over to Guayabitos and enjoyed the food and shopping it offered. Josie‘s home offers the perfect Oasis to relax in and we loved that it was stocked with everything we needed and more. Thank you Josie for letting us enjoy your home

Our Los Ayala get away

We enjoyed the property. It is well appointed and the pool is great - nice and warm. My only suggestion is to take some ear plugs as a precaution. The roosters start crowing at 3 am. They seem to move around so some mornings are worse than others.
