Beautiful location. Good amenities (but no TV... which ended up being OK). The beach directly at the house is stony (literally medium and large sized smooth rocks), but there is a sandy part a little walk away, just gotta be careful because walking on the stones is uneven. Sergio and Sandra were very helpful. The house is also close to a shopping center that has food/restaurant options, pharmacy, clothing, grocery and laundry... also close to great surfing beaches. My family and I had a great time!!
Perfect location for family loving water activities. Stunning sunset in the evening, surf available and instruction and boards available next door. Thank you!
Beautiful location that would be fun for a large group. Beach at the area isnât great for swimming, but there is a small pool. A couple of restaurants are nearby.
The property was amazing the view is gorgeous and it was nice sleeping to the waves crashing. The house keepers were very attentive and respect your privacy. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.
My family enjoy every hour at this cozy house. The front beach view is what I love it. My son was swimming. You can also go for a nice surfing time if you like. Everything's was a 5 min distance (market, restaurant. Gas dtation, e tc)
Place was welcoming and enjoyed the beach access and the pool. Place was safe and had restaurants nearby that were delicious. Would stay again in Playa Cocal.
When you think of a charming, rustic but comfortable beach house, think of this one. The property is private with a delightful, clean pool. The downstairs kitchen/dining area faces the ocean with full on waves and ocean breezes as you dine. Fun little bar too for those margarita moments. Love the fact that the living quarters are upstairs overlooking the beach and ocean. We were greeted by a whale splashing in the distance! Hello whale! Lovely balcony up top for hammock relaxing and surfer watching. Far enough from La Libertad to be a nice, quiet, clean beach but close enough for groceries, restaurants etc. We visited a number of beaches along the coast and loved our little slice the best. Caretakers Sandra and Sergio where there for us when we needed them and not when we didn't. Consider bringing in massage therapist and neighbor Linda. She brought her table and set up facing the ocean in the dining area. It was pretty darn glorious.
The place was cleaned and cozy perfect for a small group. Sergio was very attentive to our needs. Having the restaurant Netoâs closed by was a blessing. We enjoyed our stay.
The property is beautiful. we enjoyed the pool and the ocean. The best part for me was the upstairs deck overlooking the ocean- there were chairs and a hamick to sit and listen to the waves. we could also watch the surf boarders do their thing from the deck. It was a litte treaterous getting down to the beach due to all the rocks.
This is our 3rd stay at this property and it is always excellent. The house is clean, love the layout, love that rooms have A/C. Caretakers are extremely nice and helpful. Had Sandra cook for us a couple of times and she helped with laundry also which was a plus. The beach was beautiful. Pool and grounds were well maintained. The two gas stations/convenience stores just walking distance from the house was extremely convenient. There is a restaurant just a couple houses from the house Netos that had some awesome food. Overall extremely happy with this property and will keep coming back on our future trips.
If you are looking for beach this is not your place it has TOOOOOO MANY ROCKS CANT GO IN WITHOUT GETTING HURT!!! but the ranch has a nice pool Sergio is very helpful the restaurantâs food is ok overall is a very nice ranch to see the waves and spent some peaceful time.
This is a two story (fully stocked) house with ample space RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BEACH. When we say "in front" of the beach, we mean 2 steps away from the house patio to the actual sand on the edge of the beach. It may not be fancy but it is kept in a very clean and organized condition but still with the warmth of HOME. Bedrooms have good air conditioning and excellent strong fans in the high ceilings for the livingroom. The house keeper- YOU WON'T SEE HIM OR HAVE CONTACT WITH HIM UNLESS YOU CALL FOR HIM; Sergio is a very responsible guy who helps with anything you need. He made our stay "problem free" since he knows everything and everyone in the area. We had all the happy times anyone could ever have in this beautiful and comfortable house. We will definitely recommend and return. We had an unforgetable/ wonderful time!
Step onto the property and you feel as though you have been transported to a tropical oasis! It is too perfect it almost does not seem real. The grounds are meticulously kept from inside and out. The staff are so wonderful. The weather was fabulous and it was a relaxing vacation. We are east coasters so we were very humbled but the waves we were met with, but this retreat is more than just for surfing. There is not a soul on the beach so it was so relaxing to read, meditate and escape life's every day chaos.
The owners were very involved with triaging all questions and most important the most romantic wedding proposal ever!! They worked collaboratively with their property manager to make it all happen. I am so gateful to all the people involved and it was an amazing surprise!!! I will never forget my time in El Salvador. The people are so nice and helpful, despite our high school level spanish speaking abilities. My one recommendation is brush up on Rosetta Stone before you go!! The American dollar goes far but you want to tip generously because these folks work very hard to accomodate all your requests. My "newly fiancee'" and I will be returning again in the future with our kids!! Thanks again Pepper, Monty, Linda, Sergio and Sylvia for a STELLAR VACATION.
Very relaxing and a place to have family time together.
If you are looking for an amazing place by the beach which has that ocean breeze and sound of the waves, this is the place. The place may not be like those fancy places with extravagant couches, chairs, beds, tables, kitchens, and hight rates. However is calm, has a swimming pool, the beach is just about 100 feet. Has a lot of rocks to help from the water of the beach reaching the place. When the tide is low you can carefully walk through the rocks and enjoy yourself on the beach. If you are not into walking in rocks, you can drive 5 to 10 minutes and the beach is much better to access to it. The only thing a lot of people go there of course. I will be honest walking on the rocks is not a picnic, you must be careful because if you fall you are going to get hurt. I can tell you during the day and just before got dark going out and coming back had no issues. However at night is very quiet in the area and lonely. Good thing family members over there use their car to drive us and did most of the activities during the day. This location is very safe inside. At night you have to be very carefull. The caretaker at night locks the door and windows to the beach. You can ask him anything you need and he is very helpful. He is always making sure you are well taking care of. There are people that sell bread in the morning, and other items. You can tell the caretaker to let you know when they pass by or can get the items for you. I had a good time and would stay there again guarantee. I slept like a baby with the sound of the ocean. The place is very clean. There is no tv there. I did not needed which was good for relaxation and spending more time with the family. The internet is very fast which is good if you have your smartphone, labtop, or tablet, etc. The supermarkets are about 15 to 20 minutes in car and restaurants about the same time or less, depending were you want to go. In behalf o my family thank you for allowed us to stay at this location. To the caretaker Mr. Sergio thank you for attending to my families needs during the stay. Also I enjoy the cocunut water. To the owner Mr. Monty thank you as well, if God permits will look forward to coming to your place again in the near future. God bless.
Everything during our stay was wonderful. The house was as described - neslted in a quiet neighborhood right on the beach. The waves crashing loudly lulled us to sleep each night. The house managers did not speak English, luckily my Spanish was sufficient enough for us all to understand one another. There IS hot water in the upstairs shower and the pool is cooler than the ocean (so refreshing). The kind caretakers brought us mangoes that freshly dropped off of the property's trees and they always greeted us with a smile. We felt safe, welcomed and FULLY relaxed. Thank You
The stay was incredible! The property was so nice. The location was perfect. It was in the beach with restaurants and grocery store nearby. Sergio, Sandra and family were fabulous. I would definitely recommend.
This property was amazing! The rooms have great A/C, the beds are comfy and the view is beautiful. The caretakers were super helpful, but not intrusive at all. We very much enjoyed our stay and would absolutely return.
We had an awesome time, people are very friendly, Sergio and family were very helpful and accommodating, the place has an awesome view. This is our 2nd time staying there
