An extraordinary place — the photographs do not do it justice. It is off the beaten path in the best of ways— it situates one above a cliff over the Pacific, literally at a birds-eye view (we saw various sea birds, hawks etc). This is all about views. It is special—but also not easy (prepare to walk down steep stairs to the fantastic beach). Wonderfully supported by a friendly staff, potable water is provided and the nearby hotel is a great option for another beach and meals.

Location is perfect, the house is amazing, always cool because of the airflow. The beach is stunning. Some nice walking close by.

Anyone who has made a home this magical and is still willing to share this kind of beauty deserves all the praise we can muster. We loved our stay here. It was simply fantastic. We fully recommend working with the owners for support with arrival, local travel, community goings on - anything really. They are such lovely people. They are tapped into the local community and culture and run a conscientious and ethical business.It's rare to find something that feels a bit off-grid with such amazing amenities and supportive hosts. You feel totally alone when you want to. You have your own path down to a secluded beach. And, you still have the comforts of a lovely kitchen, working bathrooms, and laundry on-site!If you want to see people, you have a hotel beach restaurant that you can walk to in minutes. And the view! We saw whales right off the balcony. Eagles flying right next to the windows. The sunrises and sunsets couldn't have been more picturesque. And the sounds of the ocean are always within reach. Casa Contada is such an amazing tonic for the maladies of the modern world. We feel so lucky to have found it and to have been able stay. Enjoy!

This place is magical! We had a great time! If you like just relaxing on the beach with a margarita in a hammock then you will love this place. It is very secluded and you definitely need an SUV or a jeep if you drive. The staff were very nice and Bartolo and Ana took good care of us. I highly recommend!
