Find beach rentals near Playa del Toro

We really enjoyed our stay at Josie’s! They thought of literally EVERYthing you could want or need at a vacation house. From laundry to milk frothers, dvds for the family to enjoy, and beyond. She was super responsive with any random questions we had, even going so far as to help suggest some places to check for specific activities. Her pool guy was super polite and personable and we appreciated knowing the water was in great shape the whole time we were there. The kids loved the saltwater pool and upper patio especially. Great for family card games, hanging out, and the property overall feels so spacious, no one felt like they were cramped or getting tired of being together. It’s a decent walk to the beach on pretty rocky road, but it made for a fun walk each day to look at things in town, pick different streets, and really keeps the weekend local scene at bay by being a little set back from the Main Street/beach area. So we enjoyed the tranquility very much. Plus, Los Ayala is such a pristine beach and waterfront, even compared with the nearby towns, it was so great and calm for the kids as far as ocean time goes. We would definitely love to come back and recommend Josie’s casa!

My kids loved the pool and short (3minute) walk to the beach! Host was kind enough to let us in before checkin time as we arrived earlier than anticipated and exhausted and disoriented in the heat of the day. They also responded quickly when we needed new password for a stronger WiFi connection. They never responded when we asked to leave our luggage inside the gate for an extra 2 hours while we waited for our airport transfer, but since we’d arrived early unannounced and they’d already accommodated us on the front end I’m not surprised. If you’re not down with roosters crowing intermittently starting at 3am, this is not your place as they can be heard even with windows closed. We didn’t mind it as it felt like “true” Mexico to us. Would be a great spot to rent all three floors with multiple families/extended family! No one was in either apartment above or below us until the last day of our stay so we had pool and garden to ourselves. I imagine that might have changed our experience if we’d had to share the small pool and patio area with two other families we didn’t know.Loved the simplicity and elegance of the interior - tile and linens were nice. Kitchen was perfect for us and rooms felt very spacious. Small grocery market right around the corner, restaurants too. Loved contributing to local Mexican families/community vs wealthy foreigner resort vibes. We’ll be back!

The house was as described. Although you can walk to the beach, it was a little far if you have beach gear to bring. It was a busy week in town and the rental was peaceful because it is several blocks from the center of town. The caretaker, Sharon, was very helpful and quick to respond, and gave us recommendations.

What a great property! Like the tiniest, most comfortable boutique hotel ever. Great rooms, very well kept grounds. Pool was steps from a gate to the town beach. Highly recommend

We loved staying at Casa Contenta and hope to return again! Every question was answered quickly prior to booking and after. We used Gilberto to pick us up at the airport and upon return, as recommended by Lin. No need for a rental car, everything is within walking distance or Lin is willing to arrange a taxi. We thoroughly enjoyed using the sea kayaks, stand up paddle board, the bikes to tour around and just relaxing on the beach. The care takers, Mari and Samuel, are hard working individuals that keep the property tidy, clean, and functioning. The unit we stayed in was a two bedroom and two bath unit that was fully equipped with everything you need. It was immaculately clean and decorated beautifully. The kitchen was well stocked to get us going for cooking the fresh fish we bought on the beach several mornings. Finally, we can’t say enough good things about Lin and Jim(and Ookie their dog). They were family by the end of our stay. They offered suggestions on places to eat, shop, tour, and insight to the Mexican culture. They invited us out to dinner a few times and they hosted an evening of margaritas with everyone staying on the property. It was fun getting to know all the different people staying at the property throughout our stay. I would definitely stay here again!

My boyfriend and I just returned from a weeklong stay at Casa Contenta and couldn't be happier with our decision to stay here! The photos don't do justice to the beauty of the property and the Terrace Suite! Meticulously landscaped and cared for, with the beach just steps away. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation and hope to return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely, spacious Mexican villa. Our favorite thing was the commanding vistas of the coastline, town and surrounding jungle hillsides from the pool deck. The home was beautifully appointed and the kitchen had everything we needed. The house has two wings and tons of outside space, so it felt very roomy for 4 adults, but would easily accommodate more. It was fun having 2 restaurants within close proximity- one the beach- with great food and live music in the early evenings. Polly and Dave were outstanding hosts- always available if needed- and we loved getting to know them. We’re already looking forward to our return next year!

Everything was wonderful, the property managers or owners were amazing and helpful, house was very clean and would stay there again.
