Overall we enjoyed our stay at Villa Gardenia. Pros: -You could hear the ocean from the windows and it was very soothing -Very quiet and peaceful property -Felt very safe -The bed was very large and quite comfy -The sheets were very clean -No bugs or other pests inside or out -There was housekeeping that made the beds and emptied the garbage each day -Has a full separate kitchen area where you can cook meals if desired -There were lots of birds foraging on the trees right outside Cons: -The pool was shared with all of the suites and we didn't end up using it -The shower didn't drain well and would pool at your feet -The view was mostly looking at the neighbours entrance which felt awkward when they were outside at the same time -The beach was 10-15 minute walk away -There wasn't much interior decor and it differed slightly from the photos -Overall this accommodation was more expensive than other options we stayed at

The place is small but super clean (even had daily housekeeping). It's very cute and has the basics. There are a few other casitas on the property. The others have rooftop patios which I will go for if I go back in the future. The small pool is shared with the other casitas which wasn't clear from the listing. The beach is nearby but further than a 2 minute walk. From this Casita without a rooftop whale watch isn't really possible. None of this was a big issue for us but it wasn't clear from the listing so I thought I'd mention it for future travelers. We also had an issue trying to change our reservation by 1 day. The host was not able to figure out how to change it and although VRBO said they sent him instructions it was never resolved. We opted to keep our reservation as it was and I'm glad we did because we had a wonderful time. I would definitely consider going back if I travel to the area again in the future.

Skip the hotels and book this place! Will stay again when in Todos!!!

Beautiful and comfortable. Casa was clean, staff was super friendly and helpful, and property was beautifully well kept. The kitchen is completely separated from the bedroom area (separate door off outdoor seating area), which is perfect to keep the cooking heat out of the sleeping area. There is no air conditioning but the house stays very cool. The above ground pool is also very refreshing on a hot day and looks out towards the water. The beach is amazing and private and about a 15 minute walk in sand from the casa. The grocery store with lots of fresh produce is just a 5 minute walk. There are also a few great places to eat (tacos, smoothies, rice bowls, etc) just a 7 minute walk from the casa. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon.

This is one of the most gorgeous properties I’ve been to. Super quiet, grounds were amazing , a real bargain!

The place was nice, however for it to say you can whale watch from the property, I would find hard to believe as the ocean is so far away that you’re not even quite sure you are looking at the water. The people were very nice and the villa was spotless.
