Cristal Del Mar exceeded our expectations. We have rented several VRBO's and this one was another gem and standout. We were looking for a peaceful R&R vacation with surf and good food and that is exactly what we got. The villa is absolutely gorgeous in its modern style that reflects the Mexican culture with hand painted tile in the cocina and many other details with every luxury you could possibly want in a third world country. It was spacious, quiet, immaculate and just steps from the beach, which has the clearest water and most gentle surf. We love that this host provides everything you need for the beach as well as several resources to make your trip memorable. We did not book the chef early enough for the holiday season, but will next time as we would have loved to have utilized the sweeping upstairs patio with view more than we did. Fortunately, there is no shortage of good food in the area. The first night we stumbled upon a very authentic home style restaurant on the neighboring street called Teresa's tacos, which really made us feel like we were in Mexico. We also had several seafood dinners in town. Everything was flavorful and delicious. Candy the housekeeper is a gem and greeted us upon arrival, and was a steady presence and resource for us. We are so glad we chose to stay in town as it was nice to be where the locals lived and walking distance to everything. We were so happy to see that this fishing town is unspoiled and still very quaint. We can't wait to return.
