Lovely place to relax and enjoyed your vacations! The ranch is very spacious and well equipped with all you need to prepare your cooking and dinners. The pool is clean and right sized to enjoyed swimming and relax 😌, but the best part was the short distance to the beach ⛱️ 😊

Nightmare Vacation
Shoddy, the property and its contents Furniture, linen, pots/pans much wear and tear. Property security is very lax and non-existent The property manager allowed unknown people onto the property in the evenings runs some kind of arcade slot games under his porch possible sells beer there. Our house was broken into while we were there asleep in the early morning hours my sister in-law purse was taken and $120.00 plus her mobile phone. my nephew's mobile phone as well as his mother's phone was stolen. The property manager showed no concern or offered any help. We called the local police, and the manager was evasive in answering their questions. I had previously rented this property and the help was very good as well as the property while not new was well taken care of. I will never rent this property again nor do I recommend it to anyone.

Lower your expectations .. no, lower than that
In short: by spending a very small amount, the host could have made this home much more welcoming to travelers coming from abroad to have the very basics like toilet paper, soap, and potable water (even just a bottle to get you started). The cheapness of the host made the stay taxing instead of relaxing. The Pros: You could not be closer to the ocean. The pool is maintained and it's lovely to be able to walk out your front door and take a dip in the pool, hang out on the balcony overlooking the sea, or walk another few dozen feet down to the ocean itself. The caretakers on the property were very helpful and lovely people. The Cons: We sent a message to our host a few days before our arrival to ask about the availability of basic household items. He responded "no" and ALSO that it would not have toilet paper, soap, or any drinking water. (okay?) In addition There is no hot water for shower or dishes or anything. The water is "warmed by the sun" but that gets lukewarm at best. No blankets - We had to request these and just had sheets our 1st night. The caretaker had to get them from a locked hallway closet. Why are the blankets kept locked up for guests? No salt or other basic condiments. The host really provides next-to-nothing for basic amenities and this is REMOTE. You can't just walk down to the store. Shared propane tank? - We went to cook dinner and the stovetop wouldn't work. We told the caretaker who gave us a lighter and then brought over a propane tank for the stove. They don't give you that either unless you ask. The next morning, the tank was gone again and we had to go find the caretaker and ask him to bring back the propane tank again and leave it there. The oven itself never worked, so we cooked meals in the toaster oven. There was no daily housekeeping, as stated in the listing, not a single cleaning our entire stay. The dishes from the former guests were still in the drying rack. The tracks in the kitchen windows were filled with dirt & bugs. The state of the rest of the house was very much like this. While in El Salvador, we visited friends in Playa Amatecampo and stayed in the beautiful city of Ataco, so we know it's not simply incorrect foreigner expectations. They were both gorgeous and clean. This place was not. I would steer clear until the host decides to invest even a tiny bit of money into basic hospitality. If you do book anyway, rent a car, you will need to get out of there to find places to relax and recharge.

This property is not what we were expecting, first of all when you enter the property on your right there’s gambling machines where I’m pretty sure other people come in from elsewhere and that doesn’t seem safe at all, also the property is not clean and a very bad smell throughout the whole house , shower head didn’t have enough water running we also had trash outside the house and dog’s made a disgusting mess Valuable don’t get fool by the beautiful pictures they show you, no air conditioning in the leaving area, shower head in bathroom are all rusted , Essentials things like a simple microwave are not provided, the people in charge don’t make feel welcome at all. Bottom line if you’re planning to have a nice and relaxing vacation in a nice and clean environment this is not the house to rent.

This the place is you want to just relax and enjoy a vacation. Will advise doing a shop prior to your stay just so you’re ready to relax. Care takers are great and having the option of having meals prepared was great too. Perfect for groups. Rooms were clean and had AC units. Pool was cleaned daily. Would highly recommend this location.

Comfortable stay, great value
The house has all the basics for a comfortable Vacation at a reasonable price. AC in all rooms works great. Maritza and family are great a great help preparing meals, running errands, and cleaning. You need to bring all toiletries including toilet paper, napkins, garbage bags etc. Or you can purchase nearby. Bring bug spray and towels if you’d like. There are some towels provided. The pool is great and the sunsets are gorgeous.

What a Beach!
This was a first time trip to El Salvador for all six of us traveling together. We immediately fell in love with the beautiful and private beach that stretches for miles. From the house we could see both the sunrise and the sunset. At night, we slept to the sound of waves crashing. The house itself met all of our needs. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was great, the pool was refreshing, and the kitchen was sufficient for cooking. (The refrigerator is amazing and we loved cooking on the gas stove.) There are no screens in the windows but we still opened the front and back doors during the day to let the breeze blow through. The caretakers who live on the property are so sweet. They were attentive but also, not intrusive. We had them prepare a few breakfasts and a dinner. We would recommend renting a car to get to the grocery store and make sure someone in your party is a Spanish speaker. As far as the house goes, bring your own towels, and all provisions. Understand that this is a very rustic but comfortable place. We affectionality called it “glamping.” For the joy of a private beach, it’s all worth it!

The property has a lot of issues, leaking faucets, pot and pans very old and dingy. Pool is a plus but the furniture is old, no wifi, and they do not provide anything, not even trash bags, try to communicate with the host and no response and I tried in English and Spanish. I will not stay there again.

Not a Happy Stay
This property has a very nice looking house but needs a lot of care, the doors are hard to close , and since is a mosquito area there are no screens on the windows or doors the pots and pans are too old to use some of the dishes have chips on them and most of the towels are old only a couple of them were in good condition, there was a toilet seat missing the pool pump wasn't working it only worked the 1st day since the water got murky on the 2nd day , on our last day we couldn't use the toilet or brush our teeth since we had no water this place gets 3 out of 10 .the care taker was always trying its best to attend our needs since one of the air conditioner wasn't working upon arrival but he had it fixed the next day thanks to the care taker for being an honest person because we had no key to the property either but fell very secure and safe with the caretaker and family around us .

I doesn't get much better then the sound of the waves and in your back yard! I loved the lookout. I spent most of my time there, the pool and the ocean. The host family was super helpful in everyway. It did ran alot of the evenings and we had standing water in the living area due to the rain.

The house has very good space for a big family but it needs improvement, it was not professionally clean and there is no ac in the living area only the bedrooms, there is no paper, soap and kitchen doesn't sugar, sal, soap, coffee and what ever you need for cooking. The sheets and towels are pretty old.. The pool was a bit cloudy and is not to easy to get there if you don't know the area. The are looked safe. This ok if your not picky.

Great views of the beach and sunset
Very spacious home. I specially enjoyed the ocean view from the upper deck, -most of my time I spent it there. The listing will tell you about the caretaker helping you for an extra fee but that wasn’t our case, Maritza the woman in in charge didn’t offer to help in any way, according to her is because of the pandemic still going on. Overall good experience.

Great beachfront getaway
The property is fantastic. It was just my girlfriend and I that stayed there; and, it was a peaceful, beautiful, relaxing place. The house is well maintained. The people that take care of the property were so very friendly and helpful. We hired Maritsa to cook for us (wonderful breakfasts and dinners); and, we found our driver, Andres, so very helpful and kind (trips to the market and fish market). My girlfriend was able to connect to the internet during our stay; however, I was not as there wasn't any WiFi provided. We do hope to make it back soon.
