We only stayed one night so hard to say anything since it was so short.

Nice property and beautiful view but it would have been nice to have a coffee pot.

Awesome spot, a little tricky to get to

Loved our time at surf vistas villas! The flat that we stayed in was perfect with a few beds, a working kitchen, and a beautiful view of the ocean + the pool was really nice. The concierge was very friendly and helpful and even assisted us with setting up Covid testing down in Santa Teresa so we could return home. The one critique I would make is the proximity to downtown and the beach is a little misleading. While it may be about a quarter of a mile from town and half a mile from the beach, the road up to the villas is very steep and primitive so it's not really something you would want to walk. Just make sure you have a capable 4x4 vehicle for the drive. An advantage of the distance from the town however is that even with busy traffic and road work happening down in the town, the villas are very quiet and relaxing.
