This was my husband's first trip to San Felipe and my second. Our first trip together, so I asked him what was important in our rental home. He responded with our own pool and I wanted to be beachfront. That is what initially brought us to Michele's home. I emailed her with a few questions and she was extremely quick to respond. She answered all my questions before and after booking. She was a great host with awesome communication!
The house is huge! Way to big for just two people but we enjoyed it all! The outside having multi-terraces with incredible views we used every day! My husband napped in the hammock. I watched whales as I drank my coffee at the bistro table. You have never seen the stars so big and clear as on her rooftop at night! All three beds have different comfort levels, yes I slept in all three. I have a bad back but found the perfect match for me! None are uncomfortable, just different. The kitchen was well stocked with almost everything. The only thing I thought could be added was more mixing or serving bowls. Other then that, we were not left wanting. The outside grill worked perfectly and we loved the gas range in the kitchen.
The area is great! Close to Downtown, Valley of the Giants (yes, go there) and Percebu (yes go here to but only 8-5). Our first morning was spent beach combing and tide pool searching to the left of the home. It was awesome, the sand is soft and lots of pools to explore. Our second evening on a whim walked down to sit on the shore and watch the tide under the moonlight. Well to our luck, the grunion were running. What a cool site to see! Our third morning was coffee on the master bedroom terrace watching two whales blow and play for about 30 minutes! I was in heaven. Our fourth morning was a long walk on the beach to the right. Their is this spot were these crazy rocks just jet across the sand and into the ocean. It looks like a stage for Star Trek. I am not a personal fan but the scenery looks very cool! Oh and by the way on the first day we passed 1 other person on the beach and day four we passed 1 couple, our entire stay. This place is full of surprises, wonder and magic!
I just can't say enough about the location, the home and the host! The home was spotless and looked like the pictures. Communication was great and check in was very simple. Michele at my request even went out of her way to stock the kitchen/fridge for me! This is not an offered amenity, don't forget your own shampoo!
