Top Story is Top Shelf

Excellent accommodations. Lots of different spaces for everyone. Multiple balconies. AC works really well in each room. 3 flights of winding staircase but it’s part of the charm. Norma responds quickly to any concerns. We would stay again.

Family vacation

What a wonderful place! Large, airy beautiful apartment perfect for our family of 6. Super close to everything - the beach, shops, amazing street food vendors plus an amazing little taco right below. We cooked some great meals in the big kitchen. Norma was always available via email to answers questions, make suggestions and provide anything that was needed. Santa Cruz was great and felt very safe, our 3 teens were out and about on their own with no problems. We rented a car for exploring and parked on the street with no issue. Just a note that you are in the middle of town and the nighttime party buses can be pretty loud! We loved this place and would return without question.

Perfect

Chris met us as we arrived, couldn't have been an easier or quicker check in process. Thx place is a gorgeous, authentically Mexican styled, open concept, private, breezy, nice lighting options, AC, excellent WiFi (though, who cares?!), bird song when you wake, sounds of nightlife (not very late), excellent proximity to the ocean, to the Chedraui,to townships, to other beaches with brilliant opportunities for snorkeling, scuba diving (Anfibios), swimming, paddleboarding.... loved every minute. Hated to leave. Excellent hosts, excellent abode. Can't say enough. Go enjoy!!!

Fantastic, but loud Vacation

Property is spacious and as described. Plenty of space for two families of three. Within walking distances of area resources and town center. Heat made us use local taxi. Norma and Chris were quick to respond to any issues we had. They even assisted with search for medical supplies; facilitating a amazon purchase and delivery. It went above and beyond support for vacation. Unfortunately, trip overlapped ‘Carnaval’, first since COVID. Although we witnessed unanticipated rich local customs and practices, we were also intimately exposed to five days of little sleep. Third floor view of grounds with Music & Barkers, concerts and celebrants) was challenging. Chris and Norma were apologetic about unanticipated scope of events. No information was available online . We would suggest avoiding property, unless planning to attend the events. Wifi speeds for Remote work was not available available. Desk space was not ideal. Overall we would recommend, property, hosts were wonderful.

About the host

Hosted by Norma

Why they chose this property

We love Huatulco and the surrounding area and believe its the best part of Mexico. Huatulco has consistently sunny and hot weather with dozens of amazing beaches to choose from. The small town of Crucecita provides an authentic Mexican culture that larger resort towns lack. We have explored most of the country and believe the Oaxaca coast is the best part of Mexico!

What makes this property unique

The apartment is in the heart of Santa Cruz and you can walk to many of the nearby beaches, shops and restaurants. Plenty of space for family or friends to share a space, without feeling on top of each other.
