Ryland and Shari were incredible hosts; not only were they a pleasure to spend time with, they have truly arranged an experience that can’t be beat.
We wanted for nothing our entire visit. They have provided all that one could need, and then some.
The location is beautiful and charming, the surf is steps away, and the pool and outdoor paths and garden are well maintained, comfortable, and stunning.
We hope to return to this gem, and share it with more folks.
We were a group of six: two couples with the two kids. We chose to rent the casita as well, to give the kids their own space, but we could’ve made it work with all of us in the main house too.
Omar and Roci were such a delight, and a pretty big part of our experience. They come three times a week to clean and take care of the grounds, and Omar was such a sweetheart with our young Spanish speaking daughter. She’d chat with him the entire time he worked and he was so good with her.
Roci’s cooking is fenomenal, and truly our only regret was not having her prepare more meals for us. It was delicious and affordable—an absolute must!
The beach just down the path is lovely for walking and surf, but it isn’t ideal for swimming as the reef reaches the water’s edge. Fortunately Ryland shared another location that was perfect for swimming with the kids, just two kilometers down the road.
I hope you have a chance to enjoy La Casa Gaviota and the small community that comes with it!
