Greg and his family were respectful and kind to me and the staff. Thanks to having StarLink and the mesh system - we are able to accommodate Greg and his colleagues while working and enjoying the home. Five Star Guest.
Great location literally 30 ft to the beach! Beautiful building and spacious rooms. Rooftop pool was great with beautiful views of ocean. Highly recommend getting chef services a couple nights from Jane Bauer and going to her cooking school as well. Only negative was neighbor a couple doors down had 3 or 4 dogs that would bark at anything, at anytime to night, which was annoying.

This property was amazing! The host, staff, location and everything was superior! I will be telling everyone I know about it. It’s perfect with the pool on the rooftop. ( it also is much bigger than the pictures appear) the ocean is steps away. Restaurant next door, across the street and down the road. Everything was amazing

Dear Monica!
We love bringing families together, such as yours. Your party of 12 people was a delight and yes, the home is 5,500 square feet - it accommodates large groups perfectly. You always responded to me, gave your business to all the locals, and supported the community. Words gets around of how you made life for everyone better. Thank you for joining us and helping us purchase school uniforms and materials for the local kids, too.
I look forward to Hosting you again,

My two friends and I had a great time surfing the region and staying at this magnificent house on Bocana Beach. The house is beautiful and the staff was very helpful and easy. We had a great time and Javier next door at the restaurant makes the best Vodka mint mojito. Cheers!

It's hard to believe that such a big house can feel so cozy. I think that being split up into 4 floors makes the difference. 2 good restaurants next door and the cooks were well worth the extra money. We had a wonderful time and will probably come back.

Went with my family of 11 for a reunion. There is so much square footage that you don't feel crammed, even with that many.Sara and Paula cooked breakfast and lunch for us during the week. They were both great cooks and we just told them to make whatever they wanted too. Not disappointed at all. This was very inexpensive for a group our size.The house is very clean. The manager Ana Paula was very responsive and helpful.We would go back for sure.
The property is excellent. Gabby did a great job. Sarah
also did a great job. Our great grand daughter learned to swim in the pool. We had a taxi driver named Leo who was an excellent guide and driver. We went to many excellent beaches. The local restaurants and the hotel up the street were all very good. Villa Rena Rubio is fantastic.

Everything was perfect. The beds super comfortable. The towels soft white. Bedrooms have wonderful views. Staff are all friendly & helpful. My family & I all enjoyed the swimming pool & lounge area on the rooftop. The local beach restaurant served great food & drinks. I loved to watch the morning sunrise everyday. Host Ana was helpful and attentive. Highly recommend.
Absolutely stunning property overlookingthe beach. Appearance as pictures suggest but also larger than I expected. Rooftop patio with pool and unobstructed views of the ocean. The beach is quiet (even during Easter!) The kitchen is modern. We took the kitchen helper Sara and Paulina which was the icing on the cake making for truly relaxing vacation for our extended family of 8. Highly recommended. Extremely good value.

Well appointed home with everything you need for a fantastic week of sun, sand, surf and lounging poolside. Ana Paula’s communication was excellent! Gaby was super helpful for us arranging taxis and making reservations. Sara kept the house spotless. She also makes a super delicious guacamole and her breakfasts yummy too!

Very respectful of the home, generous and kind to the staff. Most Extraordinary people and we welcome them, anytime.
La Bocana is very beautiful. We loved the rustic feel it had but the home was beautiful and had everything we needed. We loved the cleaning ladies and pool guy. They were very polite and helpful. The house is honestly speechless on how beautiful it is and its view!!! The only thing was there were some neighbour dogs that endlessly barked some early mornings but the view and the place made up for it. The owner of the property was super helpful and answered my questions in a very timely matter. I hope we will come back to stay again soon.
This is an awesome property to rent: not just the house and location; but most of all was the convenience of check in ( thank you Gaby, she was also immediately available for a couple of very minor issues we had); Sara ( house attendant) was absolutely fantastic!! She truly takes pride in her work, and the cleanliness of the property!! She also can whip up an awesome ceviche!!! Sara also came to work everyday with her beautiful smile!!!
Again: location-5 star /property-5 star/cleanliness-5 star +, Sara, Gaby, and Ana definitely 5 star!!!
Can’t wait to go back!!
Oh and I must mention Berto (pool cleaner) great character and he taught us some new words every time he was there and made sure we pronounced them properly!! Great guy!!

Most Extraordinary to Host families like yours. Your spirit is always positive and your celebration of your husband’s birthday, was something Gaby Sánchez, Property Manager, and Sara, were happy to prepare for you, with great enthusiasm - from pantry stocking, to creating a magnificent birthday cake, to yes! Even ceviche, and a charcuterie board for your enjoyment! It was all our pleasure!
We look forward to your return - thank you for your kindness and generosity, towards me all and our staff, Carol. We miss you, already!

Ana's house is spectacular! We had a group of 12 (plus one child) and the layout was perfect. Nearly all of the rooms feel like very spacious master suites with jaw dropping views of the ocean! The rooftop pool was fabulous to watch the sunrise, relax and enjoy the view of those surfing and boogie boarding in our group. Ana was beyond a pleasure to work with as were Gaby (property manager), Karen and Margarita (cleaner and breakfast cook). We were welcomed with open arms. They helped us organize an in home chef one evening, massages on the rooftop and even painting classes on the rooftop as well! The house itself is about 12-15 minutes from downtown restaurants, etc but was not at all a bother to us. The house and kitchen were so lovely we spent much of our time there. There are so many things to do in Huatulco and Ana made sure we knew everything available. From snorkeling to birdwatching to eating at nice restaurants. We stayed in 3 houses in Oaxaca over the course of 2.5 weeks and this was by far our favorite! We're already talking about a return trip!

Elizabeth and her family and guests were a joy to host. Wonderful Austin Texas people and Aggies joined as well. Whoop whoop.
The home is like a 5 star hotel. But better. It has all the little personal touches that one should have in a home, and Ana is quite proud of her piece of paradise. Great finishes and fixtures.The area is quite after dark, excepting a few dogs here and there. All the beach tourists leave by dark ish.Ana offered to have Sara cook for us for a nominal fee. I was a bit skeptical, but really happy with the choice. She made us breakfast and late lunch everyday, and she even let us hover close enough to learn how to make a few dishes. Awesome.We did eat at a newer restaurant around the corner. Cute little family run operation with great shrimp tacos... and cheap. Dona Duvi.The stairs seemed a bit daunting to start... but with Saras cooking, it was a good way to burn some calories...lol. There is an elevator, which worked great for getting heavy bags to the 3rd floor.Smart TV in the master was great for the late night time.Pool was awesome. The upper deck has been really been improved from some of the VRBO pics. It now has a great pergola, and enough shade to stay up there all day regardless of temps. Nothing to improve there...Communication with Ana was top notch. She sent a ton of info on the areas attractions and restaurants etc.Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

My husband and I (along with 3 other couples) stayed at this amazing house for 7 nights. All of the rooms were perfect for multiple couples traveling together. We had plenty of privacy and everyone had their own private bathroom. The beds are very comfortable and the entire house is very clean. The kitchen is large and well stocked. Sara (the housekeeper) is very sweet and worked very hard to make sure we had everything we needed. Ana is VERY good at communicating and offering advise on everything from restaurants to transportation and activities. We had our hot water go out due to high winds and she had it fixed within hours! The upstairs deck and pool area are fantastic in this house. We spent most of our days there. The beach in front of the house is very beautiful and quiet. We were surprised that there are still beaches in Mexico that are not over crowded. There is not much for night life in this area. There are a few good restaurants but no shops or stores. You need to take taxi's or vans into the main town to find more action. We did this several nights of our stay. The transportation is easy and inexpensive so it's not a big deal. Overall, I would highly recommend this property on your next visit to Huatulco!

Huatulco has 36 Beaches and 9 Bays. It’s paradise. We are at La Bocana Beach, which connects to the Copalita River and it is a surfing and fishing beach and our Guests were thrilled to be there. Surrounded by nature, pelicans, Dorado fish, lots of flora, fauna. A photographer’s dream and a peaceful area that I am so happy Tricia and her husband and friends truly enjoyed Villa Nena Rubio and we look forward to Hosting them every year.

My extended family and I had a fantastic, two week stay at Villa La Nena Rubio. This is a beautiful property with massive views of La Bocana beach. The kids bedroom is small, but we only had to use it when some flights home were cancelled. The five additional bedrooms are large and each has fantastic views. The rooftop deck and pool just added to the feeling of being in paradise.
Sara kept the home in immaculate condition and is very warm and friendly. We really enjoyed seeing her everyday. Gaby, the property manager, was very quick to respond with any questions we had. Unfortunately, two of my adult children were sick with high fevers and Gaby was able to get a trusted doctor who spoke English to come to the house and help them. Everyone recovered quickly and was able to enjoy the rest of the vacation. Ana, the property owner was also very helpful and able to respond to any needs or questions we had.
My family has been to Huatulco many times and have stayed in hotels, villas, all inclusives, and condos. Each has their own advantages. We generally do not like to stay in the all-inclusive resorts in Huatulco because we love to go to the different beaches and restaurants in the area. La Bocana is different from other areas of Huatulco in that it is not as developed or crowded. Quiet evenings, uncrowded beaches, beautiful views and all of the wonderful things to do in Huatulco a few minutes away.
Thank you, Sara, Ana, and Gaby for a wonderful stay!

This was ideal for our group of 6 adults and 3 small children. We were looking for a quiet, beach vacation. The only downside is that this place has no nearby shopping or attractions. Everything other than 2-3 small restaurants is a 10 minute taxi ride away
What a fantastic and beautiful home for our group of 11 family and friends to gather in La Bocana! The bedrooms are all like master suites with views of the beach and sounds of the ocean surf. Ana and Gaby were immediately available for every question and recommendation we asked about and helped facilitate tours and transportation and wonderful chef prepared meals!
The community of neighbors and businesses in La Bocana were warm and welcoming! The sunrises were amazing as well as relaxing for hours around the rooftop pool. We will definitely be back!
