Would stay again :)

Took my daughter down to Santa Teresa for a HS grad surf trip. We loved the location and access to the beach. I personally enjoyed the front area, private relaxation spot that also has a shower on entry to rinse off after the ocean.

The property was in a great location- beach, cafes, restaurants and bars were all within walking distance. The town is super safe. The only drawbacks are the main road where the house sits on can be noisy due to car traffic but the tradeoff is you're in a great location and not up in the hills of Santa Teresa. Second, there are no addresses but Ariel did his best with the directions and included a picture of the house. Check-in was super easy. His brother lives on the backside of the property and he made sure we checked-in easily. The house is exactly how it looks in the pictures. 3 separate AC units that could keep the house really cool. I'd highly recommend this house- we'll definitely be back.

Had a great time, the house is spacious, comfortable and well located on the edge of town but you do need a car if you stay here. There were a couple of things need seeing to while we were there (ie leaking roof) but Neti and Dana were very responsive and sorted straight away. Only addition I would suggest would be a microwave for the kitchen. Thanks

The ‘Casa de Neti’ was unacceptable for several reasons: The description of the property as “quiet and serene” is wildly untrue, as Santa Teresa’s main drag is a mere few feet from the garden wall. It is a poorly-maintained narrow road with no sidewalk, only gravel and/or uneven ground at the edges. Vehicles of all kinds, especially trucks (used at many properties under construction next door & nearby) rumble over it most of the day and night. We were unable to sleep, much less relax as vacationers would, with the constant traffic noise. The assumption that this property is even decent, not to mention safe is ridiculous. The counters in the kitchen are riddled with knive cuts (no doubt filled with mold) and the piece of junk stove is a joke! No towels in the kitchen or 2nd bathroom. Grout and acrylic edgings around tiles and faucets are partially missing, and none of the roller-type window coverings work. Maybe that’s intentional: when looking behind them, you are welcomed with nasty views that rival a city dump. There are odd, uneven steps from the kitchen to the second bedroom and to the living area. Even getting to the front door safely was a joke, as the so-called driveway had a flat piece of concrete protruding from the gravel and dirt. The piecé de resistance can be seen in the House Rules, which call for putting all ‘used’ toilet paper in the garbage can rather than the toilet! I was looking forward to using the washer & dryer, as described, but was told instead that we should bag up our laundry for some lady to pick up every other day at our expense instead. In their favor, the bed was extremely comfortable & the AC worked great. The owners were friendly, especially when they realized we were unhappy. A vacation property should be completely self-contained, & ready to be used, with no need for us to interact with anyone. We used VRBO for accommodations on our honeymoon in Kauai 2 years ago for 3 weeks, and were very pleased, even though it was expensive. The daily rate for ‘Casa de Neti’ was even more, so from the description we expected a very nice, safe, quiet property. Instead, we were handed a very poorly-maintained piece of junk.

We had a fantastic vacation in this lovely house! Great access to the very best stretch of beach in the area! The owner was super helpful and attentive in making our stay comfortable. The owner coordinated excellent adventures and day trips for us as well as making tasty recommendations for coffee and the like! Thanks so much! Fingers crossed we will be back soon!

Let me start of by saying that the owners, Dana & Nedi, are amazing hosts. Before arriving, Dana answered all of my messages so quickly, making me feel confident in my decision to book her property. Dana met us at the house upon arrival and gave us a walk through with all of the rental details. We were also welcomed by a most amazing and lovable cat that resides at the home. The inside of the house was very spacious and clean. Although the home is on the main road at the south end of Santa Teresa, we were not bothered with much road noise. The house is adjacent to a lovely path through a palm tree grove that leads directly to the surf break. This walk takes about 2 minutes. This is a lovely place to call home for a bit and I hope to do so again very soon. Thanks again, Dana! Please give that adorable kitty some love from us!
