About this house rental

Practical, simple accommodation one block from the beach! Great for experienced travelers who want to unplug and enjoy local culture.

Minutes from the downtown square, public transit, restaurants, sports bar, and grocery stores.

IMPORTANT to consider: This house is in an area where there can be noise: sport court, church, festivals or amplified music at times through the night. The majority of nights are peaceful, but there can be so much noise that it can still be heard through earplugs. Beautiful, older casita with hacienda style vintage furniture and lots of natural light. One block from the beach. You can hear the surf from the patio and with the windows open.

Fully furnished living, dining, lounge, patio, and bedrooms. Comfy mattresses and quality linens and pillows. Small kitchen equipped for those who love to cook - hot water heater and gas stove with oven, fridge, toaster, blender, frying & sauce pans.
Open plan due to first bedroom divided off by decorative concrete block and second room without door. Curtains provide partial visual privacy. A small safe is provided for your valuables.

Two boogie boards, beach chairs, beach umbrella and 2 beach towels provided.

***PLEASE INQUIRE for lower Monthly / Summer Rates***

NOTE: bedrooms are not closed off from one another and it has more the feel of one big open space. This is traditional in many local homes. While the casita can sleep more than 4, please consider the open floor plan before booking.

House has WiFi but internet in village is inconsistent. House has four ceiling fans for ventilation. No air conditioning nor clothes washing machine. There is a full service laundromat three blocks away.

Bathroom has low water pressure .

SAFETY for CHILDREN / ACCESSIBILITY: There is a recently constructed upper shaded patio with a minimal hand rail and narrow, spiral stairwell. Some electricity is surface run and homes in this area are not wired with grounded outlets.

NOISE: Casita Estrella is located in the vibrant center of town where there can be much activity. Neighbors have chickens, dogs and roosters. It is next to the local Catholic Church and the bells are loud. Once or twice a week, there is a "Rooster Mass," as the locals joke, meaning the church bells are rung at 6:30am in time with the local roosters crowing. Also, the house is off a square used for basketball and soccer play, so games go on a few nights a week. We love hearing the locals (adults and children) playing sports, like having a live sports feed. There can be a game playing or a bouncing basketball until 11pm at night. Basketball and soccer ball provided. Neighbors play traditional music loud on occasion.

The casita was well-equipped, and we especially appreciated having access to a beach umbrella, boogie boards, and balls. Being just minutes from the beach was fantastic! Jennifer was very easy to communicate with and kindly allowed us to check in early. It’s a lively area with plenty of activity right outside the door, which we enjoyed — but if you're looking for peace and quiet, this may not be the place. We had the most wonderful week there and would love to do it again.

Had a great stay here. One block to the beach, made it very easy to go back and forth for lunch. Instructions were very easy and the host was very responsive when we had an issue with the front door lock, it was fixed within an hour. We would stay here again, however we might come earlier next year to catch a bit less heat. Thanks Jennifer!!

The unit provides all you could want for fun with the family entertainment- only downside is the noise from basketball court right outside the door and church bells start very early Sunday! Otherwise 👍
