We stayed here with a family of 13 from ages 5 to 75 and it was perfect for all ages. The house is spacious with each room sitting as its own private space with private bathroom. There is even a detached little house with two of the bedrooms that has a kitchen. The indoor space is relaxing and comfortable, but you won’t spend much time indoors. The outdoor space is just incredible. There are so many spots to spread out and with a large crew you will never feel crowded. The large new deck overlooks the beach and gives a perfect view of the ocean and offers the most amazing nightly sunsets. The pool is large and very nice, a great family hang-out to break from the beach. The beach is a step away outside and the sand in front of the house is smooth. It is a perfect beach for all ages with waves suitable for all. The kids surfed every day and took lessons from the amazing surf shop steps away on the beach, ask for Josh!
Restaurants right next to the house on both sides. One is open for breakfast and every meal we had there (which was many) was amazing, including fresh smoothies! The other restaurant/bar was a perfect spot for a sunset cocktail. You can also walk into town, about a 20-minute walk along the beach, and there are many more restaurants/bars on the walk and a lot in the town.
We hired a chef to come most nights with amazing food and service and we felt like we were eating a 5-star meal but didn’t have to go anywhere.
We all loved collecting shells on the beach, watching the macau’s fly over many times a day, spotting different types of lizards, seeing the horses ride by on the beach every day, watching fish jump way out in the water, jumping waves, surfing, swimming endlessly, playing soccer on the beach, reading on the deck, riding bikes into town, all the amazing fresh food and the extreme first-class service that came with the house.
The managers of the house Matt and Tia are top-notch! They organized everything we wanted, including many excursions. They connected with us daily to ensure we had everything we needed and all the stuff they arranged felt first class. If we needed something last minute, they figured it out and made it happen. The owner Jim is incredible and great to work with. We’ve stayed at many places and we’ve never had the owner reach out and make us feel so welcome before. Overall, staying at this house was a true first-class paradise experience and we had no worries while we were there and zero complaints!
