This property is AMAZING!!! The pictures online are beautiful but we were EVEN MORE blown away when we saw it in person! We thoroughly enjoyed the pool/hot tub & the most beautiful beach is literally just a few steps from your back door! The home itself was very well stocked, AC was COLD, beds were very comfortable, views from all the rooms were breathtaking!!! Communication with the owner was fast & easy! When we return, we would absolutely book this property again! Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!!!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and had a fabulous anniversary celebration with your friends. We would be pleased to have you as guests again!
The moonlight suite was as advertised. Beautifully located a bit south of Manglarito, which is 5 min drive from Montanita. The view is great and the caretaker, Michael, was unobtrusive even though he lives behind the house. We had no others staying in the other units so the pool was our alone. While taxis are around, there is great utility in having your own car. The 3 bedrooms were well air conditioned. The master suite is by far the nicest room with sweeping ocean views from the upstairs patio. The other bedrooms were fine but offer no views and are substantially smaller. Overall the moonlight suite was terrific.
