Off the beaten path paradise!
We stayed in Manzanillo because we had family members staying in Santa Teresa but we wanted a more laid back, less bustling scene. Manzanillo was a great choice. It's about 20 minutes from Santa Teresa, and the house was beyond expectations; one of my favorite Vbros ever! It's perched on a hill of its own, up a short steep cobblestone driveway (4WD not necessary) with a treetop sublime view of the ocean and jungle-covered hills. The beach (much less crowded and low key than the Santa Teresa beaches) is a two minute walk away, at the foot of the hill. The beach goes on and on, you can walk for hours. You hear the crash of waves and the birds and, now and then, monkeys. The interior materials....wood, polished concrete floors with wood accents, polished concrete counters, comfy wicker furniture and white walls and open floor plan create an architectural gem. Large door shutters open up to let the outside in, creating expansiveness. There is a large porch with hammocks at each end and sofas and rocking chairs. This house is ideal for families and couples. The bedrooms are situated at each end of the living room/kitchen area.
Equally important in the equation is the responsiveness of the host. Kristi is exceptional. I had so many questions because I felt responsible for other members of my famijly who were staying nearby, in regards to transportation and activities etc...Kristi unfailingly responded with kindness and attentiveness.
A sheer delight!
