Excellent accommodations. Lots of different spaces for everyone. Multiple balconies. AC works really well in each room. 3 flights of winding staircase but it’s part of the charm. Norma responds quickly to any concerns. We would stay again.

What a wonderful place! Large, airy beautiful apartment perfect for our family of 6. Super close to everything - the beach, shops, amazing street food vendors plus an amazing little taco right below. We cooked some great meals in the big kitchen. Norma was always available via email to answers questions, make suggestions and provide anything that was needed. Santa Cruz was great and felt very safe, our 3 teens were out and about on their own with no problems. We rented a car for exploring and parked on the street with no issue. Just a note that you are in the middle of town and the nighttime party buses can be pretty loud! We loved this place and would return without question.

Chris met us as we arrived, couldn't have been an easier or quicker check in process. Thx place is a gorgeous, authentically Mexican styled, open concept, private, breezy, nice lighting options, AC, excellent WiFi (though, who cares?!), bird song when you wake, sounds of nightlife (not very late), excellent proximity to the ocean, to the Chedraui,to townships, to other beaches with brilliant opportunities for snorkeling, scuba diving (Anfibios), swimming, paddleboarding.... loved every minute. Hated to leave. Excellent hosts, excellent abode. Can't say enough. Go enjoy!!!

Property is spacious and as described. Plenty of space for two families of three. Within walking distances of area resources and town center. Heat made us use local taxi. Norma and Chris were quick to respond to any issues we had. They even assisted with search for medical supplies; facilitating a amazon purchase and delivery. It went above and beyond support for vacation. Unfortunately, trip overlapped ‘Carnaval’, first since COVID. Although we witnessed unanticipated rich local customs and practices, we were also intimately exposed to five days of little sleep. Third floor view of grounds with Music & Barkers, concerts and celebrants) was challenging. Chris and Norma were apologetic about unanticipated scope of events. No information was available online . We would suggest avoiding property, unless planning to attend the events. Wifi speeds for Remote work was not available available. Desk space was not ideal. Overall we would recommend, property, hosts were wonderful.

Outstanding locale for us - family of 6 adults. Loved the bird-filled park/square across the street, and 1/2 hr walk to La Crucecita. So many semi (and totally) deserted gorgeous beaches within relatively short drives and hikes. The apartment is great, albeit a serious challenge for the mobility impaired. Comfortable beds, great amenities and great communication w Chris/Norma. Pretty noisy at night, although this may be reflective of Christmas holiday. In a word - fabulous! Would definitely return.

From first contact with the fabulous host Norma to our check out- this place did not disappoint! The location was excellent! The penthouse was spacious clean and comfy. There was nothing that we needed that wasn’t in the unit. Can’t say enough great things about this place or the host!!
