The property is almost a hectare (around 2.25 acres) and features: a main house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, kitchen, porch, patio, and two dining tables. The pool has two separate living areas, a shaded one and a deck up front. A separate cottage (honeymoon suite) has a king-size bed, a beautiful half-open bathroom and private terrace. There are a trampoline and a zip-line for the kids in backyard, as well as plenty of board games. Hi-speed WiFi throughout the property and cable TV in the living room (main house). Sleeps 10 people max.
A rancho (straw hut) has a dining table and plenty of hammocks and couches with great views of the beach. The deck/pool has an unimpeded, 180-degree view of the ocean, with outdoor furniture, including tanning chairs. A small house for the handyman/gardener is next to the entrance to the property.
The experience is one of beauty, peace, and tranquility. With no immediate neighbors, the place is private and secluded. At night you hear nothing but crickets and crashing waves, and when the sky is clear it fills up with stars. The houses and hut have a rustic feel with modern convenience.
Lorenzo, the caretaker/cook comes in everyday from 8 am to around 3 pm (after lunch). He does all the housekeeping and cooks breakfast and lunch. He doesn't speak English well but simple Spanish will suffice (and now he's a master with the translation app). He's hardworking, extremely nice, and has plenty of experience with foreign guests.
The beach is a famous surfing destination, yet parts of it have no or small waves were kids and less experienced swimmers can enjoy the ocean. A small river meets the ocean right in front of the house, giving the place an added water experience.
Just 2 Km away on the Panamerican Highway is Coronado, which offers restaurants, supermarkets, specialty food stores, shopping centers, drugstores, banks, a hospital and a 18-hole golf course. A 45-minute drive in the other direction is El Valle (The Valley) de Anton, where you can enjoy hiking, mountain climbing, water falls, horseback ridding, bird watching, bike ridding, canopy tours, hot springs, and a local market on the weekends.
