We spent four nights at Coconut House and we had a terrific time!
Thomas was very helpful, not just during the booking process, but all throughout our stay. He always responded in a timely manner - or faster - to any questions that came up.
And he was definitely right about the house - it is as lovely as the pictures show. There were a total of 9 of us (5 adults and 4 children), and we all had plenty of space. The main living area is bright and spacious, with enough furniture to make it feel cozy, but not too much to clutter the space. From the balcony, you can easily watch the kids playing in the pool, and it was a great spot to mix cocktails and relax.
The kitchen had all we needed for making breakfasts, and the BBQ provided for us in the afternoons. We lacked for nothing. It's pretty easy to spend day after day here, lounging, eating, drinking, walking, sleeping and really taking it easy.
It was very nice to take the very brief walk to the beach (2 minutes), spend the morning there, and then stop for swim in the beautiful swimming pool on the way back. And then do it again in the afternoon. The low tide is amazing, with the beach extended another 100 yards or more, exposing tide pools and all kinds of marine life. Low tide is a great time for walking the beach, too.
The swimming pool is definitely bigger than it appears in the pictures. The spa is really nice, too.
Overall, this was a great vacation. Having the perfect place to stay contribute it to it immensely.
We are thinking of going back next year, and we would book this place again without hesitation.
The following are the things that we found would make this place even better:
1. The mattress in the master bedroom is somewhat uncomfortable. The bed, a platform bed, makes a lot of noise whenever someone turns. If you are a heavy sleeper - no problem.
2. The kitchen is pretty well stocked, it just needs a couple of big spoons to serve soups and stews. We couldn't find any. We needed to get sugar, but this was a small issue.
3. The bedrooms lock. If you lock yourself out, good luck. Fortunately, the two times that happened, it was the front bedroom and it was possible to get in thru a window. If it had been the master bedroom, I'm not sure what we would have done. Maybe there is a key for these bedrooms, but we didn't find it. Might be a good idea to have one.
That's all. Coconut House was the perfect place for our vacation in Puerto Penasco!
