A little more about our beach house:

While this is listed as 8 beds (10 people), Room #2 (with the two bunk beds) has a bunk bed with a single on the top and a FULL on the bottom which our two young daughters love to share, so if you really need the space, you can sleep 11. The 3rd room is a casita which is perfect for older kids who wants time away from the adults.

Food:
We frequently visit the local fish market, where you can buy shrimps and fresh fish for a great price. There is a nice BBQ grill outside, along with a sitting area. For groceries, you can visit Sam's Club or Walmart just 15min away, that is where we do most of our shopping (I will send you Google map links to everything)

Later in the day as the sun starts to set, light up the fire pit and enjoy the amazing sunset on the beach. When night falls, turn off all the lights in the house and go stargazing; The visibility at night is beyond this world.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with Netflix. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

We loved our ocean views, steps away from the beach. An issue we ran into, was the back sliding door was not easy to open and was not sealing when closed which made outside air come in and made it hot/humid inside. Another detail that was missed, the AC units could of been on before we got there. It made our arrival a little uncomfortable coming into a hot house. And having to wait over 3hours for the house to cool down. Our stay was comfortable after that and enjoyed the beautiful views. The host was very easy to contact and responded in a timely manner.

We have stayed here multiple times and love the property and specially the location. The room with bunks is perfect for the kids, who enjoy playing with the canoe and the boogie boards. There are no stores nearby so make sure to bring everything that you will need. The stairway to the observatory was being repaired so we couldn't use it this time. Overall, we love it, we recommend it and we will keep coming.

Great house right on the beach wonderful communication!

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about booking because the price was so reasonable. I have stayed at other houses on this beach that were much more expensive, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It exceeded my expectations. Communication with Liad was excellent and prompt. The air conditioning was nice and cold and the area was safe and secure. Not sure what was going on in the water but there was a lot of seaweed and a few jellyfish, which is not typically what we’ve experienced in this area. Otherwise, the water was perfect temperature, and even in the heat of summer the breeze off of the water was enjoyable. Excellent and affordable place to stay and relax with the family. I highly recommend.

Can’t beat walking out the back door right to the sand.

Long, relaxing afternoons, sitting by the water.

Lovely on the beach!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay and shared the following feedback with the property owners which is the reason for the 3-star review: To property owners : We had a great time and love the location and access to the ocean! That said, you should know there are some things that are broken, not useable. Both white plasticlounge chairs are broken. The boogie board is coming apart, the kayak has broken seats and all the paddles are cracked or broken, the folding beach chairs are rusted closed and won't open. The sliding glass door handle is broken and also the screen door comes off the track very easily with normal opening and closing. Also the King Sized bed is starting to sag pretty badly. It could definitely use an upgrade. The kitchen is great and everything else seems to be in good condition and we did enjoy having WiFi and Netflix access. Again we have enjoyed our time but wanted to make you aware of these things.

Beautiful Property, Great Owners!

The owner is quick to communicate and answer any questions. The house itself is in great condition. Very clean. My kids loves having access to Netflix and Disney+ on the t.v. The wifi was strong and supported our large group. We didn't hear any neighbors and had enough space to spread out. There's lots of beds and places to sleep. The AC works great! Which is a huge plus! There was a kayak, boogie boards, and sand toys for us to use. Which we really appreciated! I would recommend bringing bug spray, we had to run into town for some. As soon as the sun goes down the mosquitos are terrible. There are also biting flies in the early morning (the bites don't itch just sting a little). So we avoided the beach in the early morning and evenings. That has more to do with the location, not the house itself. It's a 20 min drive into town. Playa Encanto is beautiful! The beach felt very private. There wasn't a lot of people and noise around and it was a holiday weekend when we were there. Would definitely recommend anyone who wants to stay here to stay!! We look forward to coming back!!
