Casa el Fran is fabulous! Location is a very short walk to an almost private beach on the Pacific. An easy 15-minute walk leads to a playground, river beach, and picnic tables. The river is a great place for kids to swim.
Chris is an exceptional host responding to any inquiries or requests almost immediately. The extra touches he provided such as fruit on table, butter/milk in refrigerator were a warm welcome and made us feel appreciated. He also provided information on sightseeing, restaurants, and beaches.
Chris thought of almost everything a visitor could need or want such as extra blankets and enough towels for one to be in the wash while another is being used. Having shampoo/conditioner/hand soap in each bathroom was very convenient and appreciated. The place was very clean, spacious, and setup comfortably with several areas for guests to gather and chat. The two bathrooms were not en-suite, but were well-done, set up nicely, and conveniently located to bedrooms and living area.
The kitchen was as described and worked out perfectly. The large refrigerator had plenty of space for our cooking supplies and even had an the ice dispenser! I wondered about using hot plates for cooking but these were very high quality and were great for any cooking we did inside. The Weber grill outside was awesome—we used it for grilling, reheating, and roasting daily.
This rental is great for couples or families. Everything you need is here….location, setup, and comfort. My family all agreed—we would stay here again without hesitation.
