Stars and location

This was a beautiful property for our stay. The house, porch and pool were lovely and we enjoyed all of the space. The 4 bedrooms were great and the kitchen had all the tools we needed. Would stay again.

Surfer's Paradise

The house is located within walking distance of Playa Camaronal. Also quite close to Playa Islita and Corazilito - both beautiful beaches. Remote location - can see quite a lot of stars on clear night from the little pool. The house is very roomy with air conditioning in each bedroom. Kitchen has every appliance you would ever need. There is a cleaning service every few days.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Magna!Our favourite things:VERY spacious for our party of 7.Well equipped kitchen. Everything we needed!Comfortable living room with smart TV.Patio - loved! Big patio, nice big table and chairs for eating outside. Pool - small but enough for us and it got deep enough to feel like swimming! Also Tiki Hut for chatting/beverages.Bedrooms were clean and pleasant with lots of storage space. Linens were cool and comfortable. AC and fans were excellent in bedrooms (with one exception - see below). Beds were firm but comfortable with lots of pillows.Bathrooms were clean with decent shower pressure, and there were THREE bathrooms which was awesome.Laundry- washer/dryer combo worked well for our needs.Location - was great for us - loved the privacy. Beach was about a 10 minute walk and beautiful to visit.Minor things that weren't perfect:Some minor cosmetic things in the house. Holes in the cement walls that hadn't been filled. Picture frames with frayed edges. AC in one bedroom gave us trouble. Water ran down the wall and made puddles on the floor. Paul was awesome about responding to our concerns and had repair technicians come, however the problem remained throughout our stay. At least there was a fan and we were able to run the AC unit sometimes.Could have used a few more towels. I think there was 1 per person for 5 days.Road to house (off highway) was rough. We are used to gravel roads but these were very bumpy. Be aware :)
Comfy living room - beautiful light
Spacious high ceilings
Really nice kitchen

Sorry I can't return.

Good Internet. Plenty of room. The police showed up at 8;00 in the morning looking for someone, maybe one of the owners.
