We showed up a little late by local standards (most people seem to avoid driving after dark) - but Jacki was there waiting for us and got us settled in right away. We rented both the 1-BR apt and a small garden room downstairs (two couples).
Jacki and the two property managers (Kennedy and Blue) are absolutely wonderful. Jacki made us homemade blondies, and Kennedy took the time to recommend places all over the peninsula for us.
Jacki also was kind enough to arrange a snorkeling/fishing trip for us and hosted a small barbecue for all the people staying at Casa Placencia over the weekend.
All-in-all, the experience was great. CP is maybe a 1/2 mile from the main part of town, but it's an easy ride on the bikes she provides and makes it a quieter experience. It's a safe community, with lots to do, but doesn't feel overly touristy.
Definitely go to the beach that she recommends - not the beach near the pier! The sand is SO much nicer!
The rooms were very clean (and tidied up every day), and the AC was more than adequate. The pool in the back is small, but lovely for relaxing if you're not in the mood for the beach.
We loved our time at CP and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking. Having local suggestions makes all the difference.
