"We stayed 3 nights. We loved the location, staff, and the whale watching nearby."

"So close to the ocean and a short walk into town or the public surfing beach. Loved that they had free surf boards for rent. "

"The system to get in the cabin is pretty clever, and the place looked nice. Yet, I would have appreciated instructions on where to leave the money and also if the grass around the cabin was lower or cut. "

"Great house in the Santa Catalina area, with privacy and an awesome property. The owners were so nice, and they conveniently arranged some horses for us to horseback ride on their property and at the nearby beach, which was fantastic. Great conversation with them as well, they were both very friendly and helpful. The beach was conveniently located, and we were able to walk down to a restaurant 5 minutes away. The pool was also perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!"

"Nice people and cute hotel!"

"Very relaxing stay, the staff and the owners are super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended as a place to stay if your visiting the area or just need a get away!!"

"I cannot recommend this property highly enough! It's a secluded retreat nestled in the jungle, just steps away from what felt like our own private beach. We stayed in the air-conditioned couple's suite, featuring a cozy queen bed, a modern and fully stocked kitchen, and a bathroom with a spacious vanity and shower. The suite also has a small patio near the front door, equipped with two loungers and a brand-new gas BBQ—perfect for grilling evening meals. (Tip: Make sure to stock up on groceries in San Antonio or Mariato, as Torio does not have a market.) For a small fee, we enjoyed breakfast each morning with our wonderful hosts, Lyne and Michael Heim. These meals often turned into lively conversations that felt like solving the world's problems—we genuinely consider them great friends now. Although we only stayed for three days, we wished we had known how exceptional their place is, as we would have loved a longer stay. Make sure to message the hosts prior to arrival, as I forgot, and their location can be tricky to find."

"First and foremost, this rental location is remote - BUT our host Asta provided us with very detailed directions from where we were coming from and followed up with us to make sure we arrived safely. The pictures of this property do not do it justice . . . everything is SO MUCH nicer and prettier! Asta also checked in with us to see how we were doing a day after we arrived and if we needed anything. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet of this location - the patio and pool area is amazing! We spent all our time outdoors. We loved using the patio grill and all the kitchen appliances. We only left the property 2 times during our 10 day stay to get more provisions and to go to local restaurants to eat. This is one of the best VRBOs - and host - that we've ever experienced! "

"The online 1-star rating is not really justified. Although basic, this place is worth the $55 fee. The Hotels.com experience is to be avoided, they overcharged on the rate. The room was basic, the bed below average, but seeing the many species and number of sea birds in the early morning is a treat. The dirt driveway to the site is a biet of a pain."
