At first glance, the house is super cute. The patio and the views are stunning. I could (and did) sit on the patio for hours a day. It was clean when we checked in and the person who greeted us was great. It’s also very central to the little village (1 minute walk to restaurants and supermarket) and to Zuma tours for excursions. Downsides - the beach here is pretty littered. You can’t really tell from the gorgeous patio view, but when you leave the patio,it’s littered with driftwood and garbage. That’s not the fault of this vrbo or the host. There was also a person in a tent living 10 feet from our back door on the beach, which was odd and slightly disturbing. The host was available after check in and very nice. The WiFi was down during our stay. The place is largely open air which is magnificent for the views, but know that the kitchen has a monumental ant issue that makes it difficult to cook.

Waking up to the sound of the ocean and being able to walk right onto the beach from the yard is wonderful. The staff at Zuma Tours are very nice and helpful. The house is within walking distance to restaurants, groceries, bars, shopping....pretty much whatever you may want/need. Being so close to everything, you can sometimes hear the goings on in town but it didn't bother us. We really enjoyed our stay at Ivan's House. Montezuma is a laid back beach town that is an excellent place to get away. We did a fishing trip and bioluminescence tour with Zuma Tours. They were amazing experiences! We got to see humpback whales, dolphins, and sea turtles on the fishing trip! Tortuga Island is beautiful and swimming in the bioluminescent water is so cool! I highly recommend booking a tour with Zuma Tours.

Located directly on the beach south end of Montezuma- short walk to all services. Sound of the ocean lulls you to sleep, although there's a couple of places within earshot that will sometimes have louder music (not when we were there.)
