The location and accommodations were excellent. The staff was excellent. The beach was expansive and almost deserted, we had it to ourselves most days. We would definitely consider returning to the property the next time we are in Oaxaca.

You will be very lucky if you choose this place.It is just perfect!

It is a beautiful property at the Oaxaca´s ocean with great service. I will return for sure!!!

Casa Colibri was everything you could want in a vacation house and more. The space was fantastic for relaxing, reading, and play! The property manager, Mauricio, was attentive and great at helping to coordinate any activities we wanted to do during our stay at Casa Colibri - surfing lessons, fishing, massages at the house, etc. We can't wait to return!

Our family visited Puerto Escondido this past week and had a great trip. Casa Colibri is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. We had the beach in front of the house to ourselves and swam in the ocean daily (until the waves started to get too big!). We took morning walks along the beach and spotted baby sea turtles hatching. It was incredible! We also loved swimming in the pool at the house. The house is open and spacious and was a great spot for us to play cards, cook, tell stories and relax. The house is about 15-20 minute away from town and restaurants so you should get a car or plan on taking taxis. The town of Puerto Escondido has multiple cool beaches, shops and plenty of good restaurants. This was a great trip for my husband and I and our 3 teenage kids.

We had an amazing time in this amazing house. Flora and Jaime looked after us so well. The food was great and the house is luxurious without feeling ostentatious. Penny answered any questions we had for restaurants and such. We will definitely be back for a longer stay.

Having traveled to many locations along the Pacific coast in Mexico, I had expected this to be comparable the other great destinations we had visited, however the Puerto Escondido area is even better. It's a little undiscovered (except by the surfers) oasis that offers a perfect combination of tranquility, safety, sun, sand, warm ocean, good food and great people at your fingertips. Casa Colibri was in the perfect location for us. It's 20 Minutes from Puerto Escondito, the Super Che and Zicatela restaurants, yet totally isolated in a gated community providing a very safe environment. The Casa itself was perfect for our group of two couples. We spent endless hours sipping wine, mezcal and Margarita's in the pool, relaxing in the pool side chairs or hammocks. When tired of resting, go down to the beach that starts 25 ft. from the pool, is 400 ft. wide and runs 5-10 miles in each direction. Undisturbed sand as far as the eye can see! The Pacific waters were warm. There is surf so use a boogie board provided if you are unsure of yourself, but we did see kids playing in the water without much fear. Did I mention, other than a couple of beach dogs and 12 people, we never saw anyone else on the beach for the whole time there. It is not uncommon to see turtles nesting, dolphins swimming and the occasional whale go by. The house is great. The bedrooms are perfect with great views to the ocean and AC if needed, but most of your time will be spent pool side or in the open air palapa covered living area. Fresh water is provided and the refrigerator makes ice from filtered water. The kitchen is modest, with all of the utensils and cutlery needed, but if you plan on eating in hire the cook or better yet go explore the bevy of restaurants in Zicatela. Zicatela is a whole other vibe. For us Puerto Escondido is the best. Perfect tranquility at Casa Colibri with great food and entertainment in Zicatela. Going back soon!

Here are few details that made it so great for us. 1. This property is about a 15-minute drive south of PE. This space allows for very little disturbance and business. It was simply: us, the beach, the pool, and no other distractions. 2. The house is beautiful and the people who run it are great! 3. The house is located on a stunning loooooooooong stretch of beach. You can walk hours in each direction. 4. The internet worked way better than what we'd planned. 5. Communication with Penny (the owner) and Mauricio, the house manager, was always easy and prompt. 7. The house was well stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed. Other things worth noting: 1. We were two families traveling together. We decided to trade rooms half way through our two weeks just so everyone felt even. The house has one amazing master bedroom and two other not so amazing rooms - still great -just not as awesome as the master. 2. There are beach dogs. We had daily friendly dog encounters (especially one super friendly dog that lives next door that we fell in love with). It is worth noting that on one of my walks south I had a not so friendly encounter with a four pack of dogs that chased me into the ocean. There was a resident that saw what was happening and came out to help. I was safe - all was well, but I decided to walk north for the rest of the trip. No other problems occurred. 3. The speakers didn't work. Bring some small blue tooth speakers to enhance your music experience if you'd like. 4. The staff are present for 5-6 hours a day. Not a lot of privacy from morning to afternoon. They are respectful - it's just that they are there - cleaning and doing there thing. I didn't expect that. Also, the last day we had a weird experience where a woman came in - no introduction. She just started going through the house taking notes of things. She stayed for hours. Went in each room. She was the house manager that day and was preparing for us to leave and the next guest to come. She didn't explain that though. That part was really weird and intrusive. 4. Knowing spanish really helps. Daily house staff (and rude woman above) only speak spanish. It was very helpful to speak the language (only a little, but it still helped). Overall experience We absolutely loved this place and the people associated with it. We are already planning a return trip in 2020. Thank you to Penny, Mauricio, Flora, and Jami. What a wonderful spot on the planet. Thank you for sharing it

We just returned from a week stay at this beautiful home. I completely echo each of the previous reviews regarding location (unbeatable), amenities (top notch), owner (one of the best I have ever encountered) and staff (responsive & helpful). This was our second rental in Costa Cumana (we rented another home about 2 blocks away last January) and the differences in the 2 rentals were remarkable. First, you literally walk from the living room, to the pool deck area, to the grass & then to the sand & into the ocean. It just doesn't get closer to the surf. Walking along the beach clearly takes on a new meaning here because you have the waves, sand & views largely to yourself. On a "busy" morning I passed 4 people over the course of 1 hour; most days I saw nobody. Total and complete bliss. Next the house itself had such superior amenities to the house where we stayed in the preceding year. We used the A/C as needed (which wasn't much) and thoroughly enjoyed catching up on movies in the media room after dinner. The beds, sheets, towels & blankets were all clean and incredibly comfortable. Very fast internet in most of the public rooms (and if I really needed something even fast, I'd go to the media room). Kitchen was fully equipped with anything that we needed; from pots & pans to an abundance of spices and basics to lots of kitchen gadgets, we had everything we needed for meals. Penny was a delight; very responsive and provided helpful information prior to arrival as well as when we were there. She followed up on & after arrival to be sure everything was in order. Mauricio (the manager) met us at the property, showed us around and was always available for questions. He even arranged for massages and local tours; he was basically like a concierge from a hotel. He spoke flawless English and always responded within minutes. I honestly can't think of anything negative to mention; we really loved our time there and were quite depressed to leave. We can't wait to return!

Incredible location ! Very nice home , and the cooker ....Waouh !

With the ocean at your back door it doesn’t get much better than this! The design of the property is well thought. At any given time throughout the day you have access to shade as well as sun. Mauricio was super attentive and responded to all of our requests promptly. The yard, pool, and house are well kept. The only real downside for us was the undertow and rip currents at the beach. However, the pool is great! We spent hours hanging out/in that pool. Casa Colibri is indeed a very special place and we will be back!

Just spent a week at Casa Colibri with my wife celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. Getting there from the US requires a stop in Mexico City, but that was painless, just makes trip a little longer. Once we arrived and heard the surf as we walked into the house, relaxation took over. The house is right on the beach with amazing views. When you walk the 75 or so feet down to the beach, you can walk for miles in either direction. Most mornings started with a long walk on the beach, then were spent reading and catching up on work(internet works really good in media room and main living room). Afternoons were spent in the pool watching the surf, getting sun and drinking cocktails and Pacifico's. Since we were there at the end of the raining seasons, most evenings after dinner we got some pretty heavy rain which just added to the relaxation. But when we woke the next day, rain was always gone. We have rented over 50 properties from Homeaway/VRBO, and while Casa Colibri is definitely not the fanciest, the views and location were up near the top. Kitchen was equipped with everything you might need, media room has Sky cable, and bed in master was super comfortable. The house is outside living with the exception of the two bedrooms and the media room(which can also be a bedroom). Those three rooms have AC. Penny was a rock star to deal with from booking til we left. Always there to answer a text or email with any questions. Her house manager, Mauricio, is the gem of Puerto Escondido. Speaks perfect English and made sure we had everything we needed. Do be aware that unlike parts of Mexico we traveled to, almost nobody speaks English, including maid and maintenance/pool/gardener. I mean not even a little. The town of Puerto is surfing and fishing town. We ate at some good restaurants for lunch, shopped at the Mercado and at super che. Super Che is like a super Walmart. Has everything you will need including a good wine and liquor selection. Thanks again to Penny and Mauricio for making this such an awesome trip.
