This house was great. Fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms, and lots of space to lounge inside or out.
Behind the great room are two bedrooms. The first is the largest of all the rooms, and has a private bathroom. The one behind that has a full and a bunk. All beds were very comfortable, and the sheets and covers were all of high quality. This is not so common with these rentals.
The two bedrooms on the lower floor both had full ocean views, and are identical for the most part. A bathroom is in between them. These are also very nice rooms.
What you can't tell from the photos is that the main courtyard area with the pizza oven and two bbqs is before the main entry door to the house, and is sheltered from the ocean breezes. The picure with the brick arches and the chair is facing this area. We used this area quite a bit, as it got a bit chilly sometimes on the ocean facing balcony.
The view from the great room is spectacular. All new fixed and sliding glass, making a 40' wall of glass for the view. The balcony is very large and inviting, with a large hammock and some rocking chairs.
The deck below that can be accessed directly from the lower bedrooms is very large. The one below that, with the fireplace and chairs, is also quite large. We only used the outdoor fireplace once, but really enjoyed it.
Things to know: From the front door all the way down to the sand, there are approximately 65 steps. That's a lot for someone with mobility issues. It was a bit of work for my old labrador too, but he loved the beach. (The beach is mostly empty, with on ly a few folks walking or running, or groups of horses with riders strolling by from time to time.)
Bring lots of water. The tap water isn't filtered, and this is Mexico... In La Mision there is a little market across the street from Magana's that sells 10 liter bottles for less than $5. Stock up. Oh, and Magana's has some pretty darn good chilaquiles and cheap, tasty cocktails. La Fonda (Dmitry's) is the closest place to eat, and is great for dinner.
Archer's pizza and the cafe next door for espresso drinks is also nice to know about early on.
If planning on going to the Guadalupe valley for wine or restaurants, taking the road right in front of the community is faster than the toll road, and a beautiful drive.
You will find this house to be more impressive than the photos can convey. It is quite updated, and all very well conceived. My whole family loved staying here.
