Beautiful and welcoming home!
We could not have asked for a more perfect stay! The home was beautiful and comfortable and worked well with our large group. The property is large enough that everyone had more than enough space to relax and explore.
Playa Marsella is a very quiet beach and most of the week we had the beach to ourselves. The kids had fun exploring the rocks, and the ocean was calmer than other nearby beaches.
We opted to have Erica cook for us every night and the food was wonderful! The staff that worked with the property were very helpful as well. Claudia helped us with items throughout the week and kept us well supplied with beach towels! Veronica was also very helpful in advising us on tours, transportation and even helped us rent boogie boards for the kids.
The house is several miles away from SJDS. We were aware of that and planned grocery trips and transportation to activities during our stay. This isn’t a location where you will be near activities or nightlife which was exactly what we wanted! It is incredibly peaceful and beautiful. We immediately felt at home there and hope to return again soon!

Superbe maison les pieds dans l eau
Superbe maison mais l accès est très très difficile et ceci n était pas spécifié dans l annoncé et c est très regrettable. C est un très gros handicap surtout quand il a plu
Sinon autre problème pour nous pas d électricité pendant 12 heures, wifi très aléatoire et dernier jour impossible de prendre une douche car pas d eau. Quand on paie 4000 dollars pour 3 nuits on se attend en plus de la beauté et situation exceptionnelles a des prestations à la hauteur
Sinon à part ça nous avons passé un très très beau séjour et le soleil était au rdv
Les prestations et la sympathie de Claudia la cuisinière ont été très appréciées
