Valeria was a wonderful host. I have never stayed at a place with such immediate responses through the website. Our flights were cancelled then rescheduled - and Valeria and her team were right there to help us check in during the near midnight hour. Their website photos are accurate! There is wonderful walking route located behind the house and it is a walkable distance to the beach. Build in costs for the chairs you will rent at the beach - which for our family of 7 resulted in about $100 per day. You don't need a car - although if you have one - parking is easy at the house and the beach had plenty of on-site parking available for pay.
