This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, tennis at the tennis court, free private parking and free WiFi. The apartment features facilities for disabled guests.

Positives of the accommodation: The lockbox right outside the door allowed for easy entry The AC and lights had been turned on for our arrival (it was late at night) Variety of board games in the living room for guests Great outdoor furniture and grill on balcony Well-equipped kitchen with a variety of pots and pans and plenty of matching dishes An ice maker that was cool and easy to use Nice view of the ocean from the balcony Good working AC in every room Full bathroom for every bedroom, making each room it's own suite Suggestions: Have a page in English/Spanish with a Wi-Fi connection and password next to the router Put the door key on a key chain and consider having a second one so larger parties have more than one key Leave a list of nearby places to eat, including hours of the restaurant on the property List nearby grocery stores and hours - many people will need to shop immediately and there are no stores in sight. **For an additional fee, I am sure that some people would take advantage of a service to supply basics (coffee, bread, milk, etc) to be there on arrival. This is a nice location - I am sure some guests would be willing to pay for this.

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, garden view and a patio, Secluded Ocean Front Overlooking the Marina is situated in San Carlos. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Teta Beach is 2.5 km from the holiday home.

The location was quiet and very nice. We had a few dogs and the owners were very tolerant. The best thing was the big fenced garden with several sitting spots and a very nice swimming pool. We enjoyed the books and the games. When the beach is too hot, you can have some relief in Valle de Anton, which is less than an hour away.

    CafeGourmet was incredible!!! Johnny, the owner, was so kind, accomodating, and went well above what was needed to make our stay so wonderful. The pictures of the villa on line only show a fraction of its beauty.....it is AMAZING!! Johnny cooked us a delicious breakfast every morning. We ate out on the veranda over looking the ocean ejoying his delicious coffee. He was the kindest host I have ever met. We are already planning a trip back!!!

    location is very beautiful but more remote than i expected. it is a 40 minute drive to go out for dinner , either to the village of Anton itself or to coronado. breakfast is in a lovely setting, homecooked in mexican style. would suggest adding chorizo to the scrabled eggs course to add a little more protein for us meat eaters.

    This was a wonderful place to stay in a small village atmosphere very close to the beach. It is a place for people who like to be away from the crowds. Eduardo was very friendly and very helpful to give advise on where to go and visit. It was a very restful place to be sitting in the outdoor covered garden area. Eduardo even gave a ride to the bus with luggage when departing. The morning breakfast were great also.
