What a perfect stay we had at this beautiful, quiet spot. Lovely property for the dogs to explore and a beautiful, clean, perfectly appointed home for us to rest our heads. We have already booked a return stay and can't wait to come back. Many, many thanks to the fabulous hosts for opening their home to us.
The owners were exceptional and we felt very welcomed. Cupboards were stocked above the usual and the pool and spa were clean as a whistle!!!! We would definitely stay again!!!
Wonderful location and home with tons of space. Homeowners thought if everything stocking house with beach gear, pool toys, and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. Great stay!
This was by far the best experience we've ever had with a vacation rental. The property is massive, beautifully decorated, well stocked and organized, and immaculately clean.
The hosts are extremely gracious and friendly, and super responsive to questions. I mentioned in our booking that we were celebrating my wife's birthday, and they even left a card for her and a wonderful gift completely unprompted. They truly go above and beyond to make it a great place to stay.
A real 11/10 experience. This is going to be at the top of my list of destinations for a getaway.
We were visiting the Monterrey area from the UK for a wedding and this was exactly what we were looking for. The property was huge with so many little "added extras" that we were not expecting, which really added to the experience. Our 2 y/o son had a great time with all the activities and toys and most importantly the pool. The hosts have thought of everything! They are also extremely attentive to any question that you might have and minor issues would be solved within just a couple of hours.
Would highly recommend to anyone planning to visit the area who is looking for a luxury stay within a short drive of both Monterrey and Santa Cruz.
