Absolutely Perfect

The property alone is absolutely stunning & worth booking, but what made our stay completely exceed expectations was our host Karen - she helped coordinate our trip from transportation, to ATV rentals to fishing excursions and more. It made planning our vacation so painless & our time there so relaxing and perfect. If you're looking for quiet, privacy & an incredible view while only being a quick ride to the beach and downtown Santa Teresa, 100% book this house. Thanks again, Karen!!

Spectacular Secluded Oasis

WOW!! Casa Tierra y El Mar is literally a surreal home with the most beautiful views. We had the most wonderful afternoons tanning by the pool. The evenings were great grilling out. Sunsets are unmatched here. The home has everything you can think of, we didn't need to bring anything from home :) It is extremely private and secluded. Great for relaxing and escaping busy life. Definitely rent an ATV or 4x4 the road to the house is very steep! It was a fun drive up for sure!! Lena and Nadja are amazing. We had two requests and literally they responded within minutes. I would highly recommend staying here.
