“What a vibe! Eating fruit and coconuts with the jungle trees and view of the waves, unmatched. The open kitchen with the sliding windows is amazing when it rains.”

“We had a wonderful week at Casa Calyx. From the ocean views below to the monkeys up above we truly had the best time relaxing and enjoying the sun.”

“Had a great stay here. The location is ideal, just up the street from the center of town. You can walk in about 10 minutes, but the climb is steep.”

Zach

“We had an amazing time. The location was so perfect. I would jog down to the beach every day. The house was gorgeous. We loved cooking in the kitchen and playing in the pool. The BBQ was great too! The bedrooms were so nice and cool with the excellent A/C and ocean views.”
