We chose this house after a lot of debate and browsing, and we are so happy that we did. If anything, the pictures do not do it complete justice. We ranged in age from 7 to 54, and the house was perfect for all of us. It is close enough to town to walk down to the sites, but far enough that it is very quiet and enough removed. We were able to walk to a nearby beach and enjoy the neighborhood. The kids and adults all used the pool constantly, and it was very pleasant. Every room in the house has an amazing view and it was awesome to wake up every morning to a panoramic ocean view. Taxi rides were about 100 pesos (six dollars), and got us anywhere in the downtown area that we wanted to go. We cannot wait to stay here again.

We really enjoyed our time here. Great location, quick trip into Zona Romiantica. Driveway up is super steep, so take a deep breath. Kids loved the pool and the house was beautiful!

Beautiful house, views from every room, great communication from the house manager, Jorge. I wouldn’t consider this walking distance to the beach or Zona Romantica business area because the walk is in a busy throughway and dangerous. However, it’s a short and cheap (100 pecos) taxi ride and taxis are easy to get at the entrance of the street (Los Pinos).

Overall the Villa was represented well by the photos in the listing. We had a few issues during our extended stay but Jorge was very responsive as was Bette with cleaning requests. Our stay was for 4 weeks and I think cleaning should be provided twice per week. When there are 6 people, it is a lot of work to keep up with and we ran short on everyday supplies more than once. Two recommendations: the pool really needs a heater for winter months. During the month of February the sun only reached half of the pool, and the water temperature never raised enough to lounge in the pool. Also, the tile roof really needs replaced as the loose tiles over the pool and patio seem dangerous if they would fall.

We stayed a week and all 6 of us enjoyed the property. It is a beautiful home! The owner and property manager are very responsive and so nice! The bus stop is at the base of the hill, so nice. We walked to Los Muertos beach on day 1. A very nice walk. We had a wonderful vacation and Casa de Mar is simply beautiful!!

Incredibly beautiful villa with ample space, comfort, amenities, and gorgeous views. Jorge was very responsive and attentive as needed, and the property was removed enough from downtown Zona Romántica to have some semblance of calm while still within a reasonable walking distance (about 1 mile to the beach). Only three mild complaints, one of which applies to the property, two for the neighborhood. 1. While the rest of the villa was remarkably clean and tidy, the coffee maker had used moldy grounds in the basket requiring extra cleaning and sanitizing on our part. 2. There was a lot of yardwork and construction going on in the neighborhood, and the topography of the land mixed with the position of buildings seemed to channel all the noise to our villa. Some with the traffic and engine brakes on Hwy 200. It was a constant barrage of noise during the day. 3. It is a shared gate and driveway, and we had some very nosy, rude, and belligerent neighbors in #107. They constantly had issues with trying to unlock the pedestrian gate in the main gate, and each morning would scream and blame us from the driveway until someone answered. We had issues the first night as well, so just opted to use the main gate remote for entry. They seemed unaware that a multitude of groundskeepers, technicians, and maintenance professionals entered the property throughout the day. After 5 days of this rude behavior, they stopped after I reiterated the above, and threatened to involve authorities.

Great home with a very nice kitchen. The view was pretty from all of the rooms. We could easily walk to the highway and grab a cab in no time. The pool wasn't heated so it was chilly. We like the south end of town so the location suited us nicely.

5 adults, with bedrooms spread over 2 floors each with private ensuite and balconies with ocean views - perfect! Fabulous living area on first floor, with fully equipped kitchen for those who want to enjoy home cooking. Private pool to relax after a morning down in old town. About a 15 min walk into old town, and a $5 Uber ride home. Would highly recommend and would absolutely stay here again.
