What could be better than falling asleep to the calming waves outside your bedroom window and waking up to whale sightings in the morning? We experienced both during our Christmas stay at the gorgeous Casa Sol and guest house Casa Luna. With plenty of room for our large family (including a playpen and monitor for a baby), each of us enjoyed beautiful ocean views, most with king beds and ensuite bathrooms. Balconies surround each house, offering incredible bay vistas and the chance to spot a breaching whale! The spacious patio provided ample seating to soak up the sunshine and gaze at stars by night.We were awestruck by the main house’s grand design, art, furniture, and décor, feeling truly pampered. We loved the fully equipped kitchen, large dining area, and the game room perfect for playing pool or watching movies. The swimming pool was always at the perfect temperature—so refreshing after a hot day in the sun. The house is a 20–30 minute water taxi ride from beautiful beaches like Yelapa and great snorkeling spots.Being close to Boca was a plus, but remember the water taxis stop at dark, so prepare for a 15-minute walk back. And don’t forget cash for the rides! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and want to thank the wonderful property caretakers for their exceptional service. An added bonus was having three affectionate outdoor pets—dog Sofia and cats Estrella and Luna.Finally, a huge thank-you to the host, who went above and beyond with her communication and hospitality
