This was our second year staying at Julia and Stefan’s home, and it came with upgrades from our first year’s already fantastic experience. First, you will not find better hosts. They are excellent at communication and they respond quickly to emails. They upgraded an already great home with a new dishwasher and an additional side door that makes entering the house from the outdoor shower very easy. It’s also great for a second entrance/exit if you have early risers that don’t want to disturb late sleepers on the first floor. The mattresses are cozy and we all caught up on sleep there.
Once we parked, we never had to get back in our cars. There’s a grocery store, pharmacy, and so many hidden gems of restaurants that are walkable. We also ventured a few blocks and got coffee every morning from Guapos, which has a rooftop deck to drink your coffee with a view. We had four adults and four children, and we only turned the TV on once, on a rainy night. The kitchen is modern, there are plenty of dishes and it’s located perfectly near the deck to bring food out for grilling. The dining table is big enough for everyone to sit together and eat, talk, or play games. We didn’t discover the greatness of the sunroom until late in our stay the first year, but we set it up this year as a “gaming room” for the kids and they LOVED it. The walk to the beach is quick and easy, and they supply six beach passes, beach chairs, umbrellas, and boards. Year 3 is already booked.
