We received a warm welcome from Dawn and Ally upon our arrival and had a lovely couple of days in their beautiful space. It was spotlessly clean, beds were comfortable and the air conditioning kept the space reasonably cool. The pool was refreshing and much appreciated given the heat. Dawn and Ally provided valuable suggestions and guidance for local activities.

Beautiful, peaceful, comfortable place! Aly and Dawn were so helpful with our entire stay. They picked us up and dropped us off as we took a bus to get there. The place is really well cared for and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. The pool is a great way to spend the days as you relax. Thanks Aly and Dawn!

Wonderful place for a getaway

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!

Short Vacation Stay

Overall we had a great stay! Dawn and Aly were extremely helpful with getting us acquainted with Santa Catalina and recommending an English tour for Coiba Island. The pool and space was great when we got there and was close to a restaurant with amazing food just down the road. Getting to this location was a little out of the way with uneven paved roads, but well worth it once we arrived!

Perfect spot for our family!

We were looking for a place that could accommodate our family of five for a visit to Coiba. Dawn and Aly’s casita was perfect. It’s a 25 or so minute drive into Santa Catalina but you’re a very short walk to the local beach and the hotel next door is a great spot to grab a bite or drinks. Communication was super easy and very quick responses. The villa was just as described, very private, and we had no problems at all. We would stay there again if we return to the area.

A few days in paradise

Wish we booked a longer stay. Hosts were super. Accomodation was perfect nestled in amongst trees. Abundance of parrots and so many other birds to share a mornings and evenings with. Private pool to relax in. Short walk to the beach. We had fresh caught fish on the grill for dinner. Wonderful time, exactly what we were looking. Thanks

Dan D.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Our only reason for staying in the area was to dive Coiba Island. I really wanted to enjoy our stay at this property choosing to stay away from Santa Catalina which is about 15 minutes away by car. Paying 3x the local going rate in the area, I had high expectations for this property in the middle of nowhere. The red flags started with a lack of check-in instructions, followed by having to meet the owners (which seemed paranoid and unnecessary) at an exact time that had to be specified ahead of time at a padlocked gate that had to be opened and closed every time you wanted to enter or leave the compound. The rolling power outages, poor AC that had to be turned off when leaving the place, ants crawling all over the kitchen, and the bed bugs that tore me up in the downstairs bedroom were the last straw. After being texted for a checkout time while putting our son to bed and being told that 10am was the latest, we decided to get out as quickly as possible. The beach is nothing special, riddled with dead crabs and debris. If you really need to stay in this area, there’s a nice hotel next door with a decent restaurant.

Welcoming relaxing environment

Hosts Aly and Dawn are very welcoming, always available to answer questions and give great advice on the area things to do. Nice clean pool to enjoy lounging beside. Furnished well throughout with very comfortable inside, outside furniture and beds that ensure you have a great rest. Close walking access to the beach where you can watch locals pick clams, enjoy a meal at the beach restaurant or just go for a long walk. Lots of parrots and other birds to watch if you choose. Best of luck in your venture Dawn and Aly. It was a pleasure meeting you and staying in your Casa.
